true landed cost vs the clearance invoice on one sample container; 77% of logistics cost was off-invoice

Basis: illustrative sample engagement (fictional data)

The problem

The clearance invoice shows a fraction of the real landed cost. Freight, conformity fees and port dues sit in separate documents, so product margins are computed on guesses.

“Your clearance invoice is not your landed cost.”

What FlowCount does

Stitch every cost document to one shipment, allocate to declaration line, SKU and PO, recompute duty per line, and build the exemption evidence chain.
