Calculate your landed cost
The FOB prices are ENGICOR's published per-unit prices inside a full container. Every other figure is yours to replace: the defaults reproduce the worked example in our landed cost guide and are assumptions, not quotes. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
How the calculation works
CIF value = FOB + sea freight + insurance. Import duty is charged on the CIF value. VAT (or the local equivalent) is charged on CIF + duty, which is how most customs administrations value an import — some add other levies to the base, so check yours with your clearing agent. Certificates, port and clearing charges and inland transport are added at cost. Divide by the number of engines and you have the landed cost per unit.
Where your business can recover the import VAT, your real cost is the figure without it, which the calculator shows as well. Duty rates for HS 8407 (petrol) and 8408 (diesel) come from your national tariff; whether used engines can be imported at all, and which certificate they need before shipment, is in the import rules atlas.
Where to get each number
FOB: our published price or your written quotation — the container quoter totals any mix of the 19 models. Freight: a live quote from your forwarder for your lane and booking week (2026 rates, especially into the Gulf, move fast). Insurance: your insurer, usually a fraction of a percent of the cargo value. Duty and VAT: your customs tariff and your clearing agent. Certificates: the inspection body for your destination programme (PVoC, SONCAP, SABER…). Port, clearing and trucking: your agent's and your trucker's tariffs.
Price a container yourself
Build the mix you want in the online quoter — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or 45 + 45 / 65 + 65 with gearboxes — and the FOB total reaches your inbox the same minute, at our published per-unit prices, every engine Grade A.

Frequently asked
How do I calculate the landed cost of a used engine?
Add the FOB price of the engines, sea freight, insurance, import duty, VAT or import taxes, certificates, port and clearing charges and inland transport, then divide by the number of engines. Duty is usually charged on the CIF value and VAT on CIF plus duty.
What is the landed cost of a Toyota 1NZ-FE engine?
With a 20-ft container of 90 1NZ-FE at US$ 780 FOB, and illustrative assumptions of US$ 4,000 freight, 10 % duty and 16 % VAT plus about US$ 2,900 of charges, it comes to about US$ 1,089 per engine. Your own freight, duty and tax figures change the result.
Is duty charged on the FOB or the CIF value?
Most countries charge import duty on the CIF value — FOB plus freight plus insurance — so freight raises the duty bill too. A few value imports on FOB; your clearing agent will confirm which applies.
Does a 40-ft container lower the cost per engine?
Usually yes: freight is charged per container, so spreading it over 130 engines instead of 90 lowers freight and fixed charges per unit. The saving only counts if you can sell the extra engines through in reasonable time.
