📋 Design notes
Rates are typical ranges:Freight, insurance, duty, local labor and civil works percentages are illustrative industry-typical ranges, not quoted rates. Actual figures depend on vessel, container, HS code and destination — confirm with your freight forwarder and customs broker.
Currency & exchange rate:All amounts are quoted in USD (FOB Qingdao basis). Where a local-currency estimate is needed, apply the current USD exchange rate of the destination country at the time of quotation.
Duty basis:Import duty is calculated on the CIF value at the destination country’s MFN tariff for the relevant HS code (e.g. 8504.2x transformers). Duty is indicative only — confirm the exact HS code and rate with customs.
Incoterm CIF:Cost, Insurance & Freight — seller pays ocean freight and insurance to destination; buyer bears import duty. Under this term the seller's cost responsibility is reflected in the breakdown.
Equipment basis:Equipment FOB covers a 2000 kVA transformer + switchgear package from the catalogue. Civil works, substation building and electrical installation are separate (included only in turnkey scope).
Not an offer:This is a budget estimate for planning, not a binding quotation. Request a formal quotation for a firm price and delivery schedule.
Comment cela a été calculé
Comment fonctionne l'estimation
Le FOB équipement correspond à l'ensemble transformateur + appareillage coté du catalogue. Le fret maritime et les droits d'importation sont appliqués sous forme de plages de pourcentage typiques selon la destination, l'assurance à ~0,4 % du CIF, et l'installation à ~12 % du FOB pour une prestation clé en main. Délai de livraison = production (~40 jours) + jours de fret maritime.
Normes applicables
La base de coûts fait référence aux Incoterms 2020 (ICC) pour les conditions de livraison, à l'IEC 60076 / GB/T 6451 pour l'équipement transformateur. Les chiffres de fret, de droits de douane et d'assurance sont des plages typiques — vérifiez auprès de votre transitaire et de votre courtier.
Questions fréquentes
What is the difference between FOB and landed cost?
FOB (Free On Board) is the price at the port of export, covering the goods plus loading. Landed cost adds ocean freight, insurance, import duty and inland transport to the destination. A $43,000 FOB Transformer might land at $48,000-55,000 after freight (2-5%), duty (5-15%) and handling. The calculator budgets FOB through landed.
What Incoterms should I use for transformer exports?
Common choices: EXW (buyer takes all cost/risk from factory), FOB (seller loads at export port), CIF (seller covers freight and insurance to destination port), DAP/DDP (seller delivers to destination). CIF or FOB is standard for heavy equipment. The calculator follows Incoterms 2020 and lets you budget each term.
How much is ocean freight for a transformer?
Ocean freight for a 40-ton transformer typically runs 2-6% of the equipment value for a full container or breakbulk shipment, but heavy-lift or out-of-gauge cargo can reach 8-15%. Distance and route matter more than weight within reason. The calculator applies a freight percentage and estimates the landed figure.
What import duty applies to power transformers?
Import duty on power transformers varies by country, typically 0-15% under HS code 8504. Some countries grant duty exemption for renewable-energy or infrastructure projects. Always confirm the destination HS code and tariff. The calculator applies your duty rate to compute the landed cost.
How long is the lead time for a transformer package?
Standard distribution transformers ship in 4-8 weeks; custom MV units and box substations take 8-16 weeks; large power transformers 16-40 weeks. Ocean freight adds 3-8 weeks depending on route. The calculator includes a lead-time estimate for planning.
