What Is Total Cost of Ownership?
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) refers to the complete cost to source, import, store, fulfill, and deliver a product to the end customer. It includes:
Unit Cost – Product price from your supplier
Inspections – Quality control and testing
Total Freight – Ocean, air, or ground shipping costs
Duties & Taxes – Based on HTS classification and applicable tariffs
Warehousing – Storage costs at port, warehouse, or 3PL center
3PL Fulfillment – Pick, pack, and shipping charges
Other Fees – Customs brokerage, packaging, insurance, returns
By calculating these together, you get your total cost of ownership per unit—and can set your target selling price to meet your desired margin.
