About this Gig
The price you see from your supplier is not your cost. It is the beginning of a calculation most businesses never finish before committing inventory. FOB price misses import duties, VAT on import, freight and insurance, fulfillment fees, return rate reserves, and currency exposure. The gap between what businesses assume and what they actually pay to land a product in a new market is where margins disappear and expansions fail. I build the complete landed cost model for your product and target markets: every cost layer from origin to final destination, modeled per unit, per market, per scenario. The output is a decision-ready spreadsheet showing your real margin before a single purchase order is signed. Based in Athens, Greece with 13 plus years managing cross-border B2B portfolios across EU, LatAm, USA, and Asia. Tier-1 experience with Liebherr, Putzmeister, and Casagrande.

FAQ
What exactly is included in the model?
Every cost between your supplier and your end destination: unit cost, international freight, insurance, import duties based on HS code and origin, VAT on import, customs clearance, last-mile, and fulfillment or storage. Currency exposure and return rate reserve are included in the Advanced tier.
I already have a rough estimate. Why do I need this?
Most estimates use FOB price and add a rough percentage for shipping. That approach misses 4 to 6 cost layers. The difference between a rough estimate and a real landed cost model is often 20 to 40 percent of margin. That gap determines whether the expansion is viable before you commit.
Which markets do you cover?
Any market globally. Deepest experience in EU markets: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece. Strong coverage of LatAm: Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Chile. Also USA, UK post-Brexit, and major Asian import markets.
What format is the deliverable?
A structured spreadsheet with clearly labeled inputs and outputs, documented assumptions, and a one-page summary showing real margin per market and key decision flags. Editable so you can update it as costs change.
Does this work for Amazon FBA specifically?
Yes. FBA adds specific cost layers: inbound freight to Amazon warehouse, per-unit fulfillment fees by marketplace, storage fees, and Amazon referral commission. All included when FBA is the specified sales channel.
