Buyer Resource · Landed Cost

The factory price is only one line in the project budget.

A useful landed-cost view follows the product from specification through export, transport, Canadian receiving and the work required before the asset can operate. It should show assumptions and responsibility, not hide everything inside one number.

What you need to know

Start with the details that affect the project.

Choose a topic for a practical explanation, the decisions it affects and the information needed to move forward.

01

Product and configuration

Start with the exact model, quantity, options, materials, equipment, furniture, spare parts and documents included. A base-model price cannot be compared with a fully equipped configuration.

02

Engineering and document work

Allow for drawing revisions, calculations, tests, third-party review, samples, inspections and translations. Some of this may sit outside the factory quote.

03

Export, freight and border costs

Include packaging, inland transport, terminal handling, freight, insurance, brokerage, duties, taxes and inspections. Rates and classifications must be confirmed for the actual product and shipment.

04

Canadian receiving and site delivery

Budget for receiving checks, storage, repairs, assembly, local components, transport permits, escorts, crane, unloading and movement to the project site.

05

Site work and operating readiness

Foundations, civil work, utilities, trades, permits, inspections, commissioning, training and deficiencies may sit outside the product price. Record exchange rates, contingency and exclusions as well.
