What does it cost at their door?

Enter your price and the shipment, edit the rates to what your forwarder and broker confirm, and read the landed cost per unit in CAD and in the buyer's currency. Gulf buyers compare landed prices; lead with that number.

Questions

Where do the default rates come from?

The duty default of 5% is the GCC common customs tariff applied to most goods; the VAT default of 5% is the UAE standard rate. Both are editable and both must be verified for your product and destination before quoting: many food and essential goods carry different duty, and other GCC states have their own VAT rules.

Which exchange rate should I use?

Today's rate from your bank or the rate your buyer quotes in. The tool has no live rate on purpose; type the one you will actually settle at.

What is the difference between FOB, CIF and landed?

FOB is the price loaded at your port. CIF adds freight and insurance to the destination port. Landed adds duty, VAT, clearance and delivery to the buyer's door. Gulf buyers compare landed prices, so that is the number to lead with.

Is this a quote?

No. It is the structure of a quote with your numbers in it. Freight, clearance and duty are confirmed with a forwarder and a broker before any price is given.
