How to Calculate Landed Cost for Wholesale Makeup
What should a buyer include when calculating the landed cost of a wholesale makeup order?
WHY IT MATTERS
Keep product and order terms comparable
Use the brand, model, whole-carton quantities and current quotation. Colour selection is optional at inquiry; confirm any colour allocation before ordering. Avoid comparing unit prices without carton quantities, freight and destination-market costs.

- 1Identify the brand and model; colour selection is optional.
- 2Confirm whole-carton quantities per model and gross shipment data
- 3Request a freight estimate for the destination
- 4Add destination-market duties and local charges
- 5Compare landed cost with the buyer's realistic selling price
