Built for sellers who need clear import cost answers.

Who Import Cost IQ Is For

Cross-border ecommerce sellers who source products internationally and sell in the US market. This includes Amazon FBA sellers, Shopify DTC brands, Etsy sellers, eBay sellers, and wholesale importers. If you need to understand what a product truly costs by the time it reaches your warehouse — this is for you.

What Problem It Solves

Most sellers price products based on the supplier invoice alone, then discover — after the shipment arrives — that freight, duty, customs fees, and brokerage have eaten 20-45% of their margin. Import Cost IQ puts those costs on the table before you place the order, so you can price correctly from day one.

Why Landed Cost Planning Matters

In cross-border ecommerce, margin is made or lost before the product ships. A seller who models landed cost before ordering can price profitably from day one. A seller who prices on supplier cost alone is gambling — and the house usually wins. Import Cost IQ exists to make landed cost planning fast, clear, and accessible.
