Questions importers ask before sourcing abroad

Use the pilot report before a low factory quote turns into an expensive delivered product.

What is a landed-cost report for construction materials?

It estimates delivered cost by combining supplier price, freight, duties, taxes, local handling, route assumptions, lead time, and documentation risk.

Who is LandedSpec for?

European importers, distributors, and procurement teams evaluating construction materials from China, Turkey, India, or other supply markets.

Can LandedSpec replace a freight forwarder?

No. The report helps buyers decide whether a sourcing option is worth pursuing before they commit. Final bookings, customs classifications, and shipment execution should be confirmed with a forwarder or customs broker.

What products can you analyze?

The pilot is best suited to construction products with repeatable specifications, such as aluminum profiles, tiles and slabs, sanitary ware, HVAC components, lighting, doors, windows, steel, and rebar.

How fast is the pilot report?

The founding pilot is designed for one product and one European destination, with a target turnaround of 3 to 5 business days.

Does the report guarantee final customs costs?

No. It provides estimates and flags assumptions, HS code risks, certificate gaps, and documentation issues. Final costs should be confirmed with your broker or forwarder before shipment.
