Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding Landed Costs & Inventory Economics

What is landed cost and why is it crucial for eCommerce?+
Landed cost is the total price of a product once it has arrived at your warehouse. It includes the raw product cost, shipping freight, customs duties, clearing agent charges, packaging, and handling. Overlooking these hidden logistics fees will distort your true margins and lead to selling products at a loss.
How do customs duties and clearing fees affect unit margins?+
Imports to India are subject to varying Basic Customs Duty (BCD), Social Welfare Surcharges (SWS), and IGST. Clearing agent fees and port storage charges also add fixed costs to a batch. Distributing these batch fees across all units is necessary to compute your exact margin.
What is a healthy gross margin for a D2C brand?+
For a digital-first D2C brand relying on paid traffic (Facebook/Instagram ads), a healthy gross margin should be 60% or higher. This allows you to absorb customer acquisition costs (CPA), shipping logistics, payment gateway fees, and returns while remaining profitable.
