Item price vs real landed cost
The number on the Temu, Shein, AliExpress, eBay or Amazon international checkout page is the item price. The landed cost is what the parcel costs you by the time it reaches your door in South Africa: the item, international shipping, customs duty, import VAT, and the courier or clearing and handling fees added on delivery.
KOSTE gives you an estimate based on published duty ranges and the standard VAT rate. Actual customs duties, taxes, courier charges and handling fees can vary depending on how your parcel is classified and cleared, so treat the result as a planning figure rather than a final invoice.
