Confidently Navigating Global Trade Complexities With NetSuite's Landed Cost Feature

"We had no visibility into the true cost of our imported goods. Freight, duties, and handling fees were scattered across departments and spreadsheets. It wasn't until we implemented a centralized landed cost system that we realized how much margin we were losing." – Supply Chain Manager

This kind of confession from a supply chain director isn't unusual. For companies navigating today's volatile global trade landscape, there's a sobering reality: Landed costs can account for 40 percent or more of the total cost of each imported item. Yet many businesses struggle to track them accurately.

In a global economy defined by tariff flux, the ability to capture, allocate, and analyze these costs has become a competitive differentiator. This is where NetSuite's Landed Cost functionality becomes transformative as a foundational piece for resilient global operations.
