  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "How is total landed cost different from landed cost?",
      "a": "Landed cost usually stops when inventory reaches the buyer-controlled destination. This total-cost variant adds post-landing allowances such as prep, storage, marketplace, payment, returns, and other operating costs."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which page is canonical for landed cost calculator intent?",
      "a": "Use /tools/landed-cost-calculator/ as the canonical calculator page for landed cost, import landed cost, product landed cost, and landed cost per unit queries."
    },
    {
      "q": "Should marketplace fees be part of landed cost?",
      "a": "Normally no. Marketplace fees are selling-channel costs after landing. They are included here only because this page is modeling total all-in cost, not the canonical customs-and-logistics landed cost."
    },
    {
      "q": "Should Amazon FBA fees be entered here?",
      "a": "You can enter FBA prep, placement, fulfillment, storage, or returns allowances as post-landing costs when estimating total cost per unit, but keep them separate from import landed cost for cleaner margin analysis."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does this calculate duty from an HTS code?",
      "a": "No. Enter duty and tariffs as known dollar amounts. For duty-rate logic, use a customs-duty calculator or broker-confirmed HTS classification."
    },
    {
      "q": "What unit count should I use?",
      "a": "Use sellable units after expected defects, samples, or damaged stock. That gives a more conservative total cost per unit."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can this replace a SKU margin spreadsheet?",
      "a": "No. It is a fast planning estimator. SKU-level pricing still needs sales price, channel fees, ad cost, storage aging, returns, financing, and tax treatment."
