You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Import Cost & Landed Cost Calculator.

# Context
Original working context:
- Help me calculate the full landed cost for importing {{product}} from {{country_of_origin}} to {{destination_country}}. Product details: unit cost {{amount}}, order quantity {{units}}, dimensions {{l_w_h_cm}}, weight {{kg_per_unit}}. Calculate: (1) freight cost (sea vs. air comparison), (2) import duties and tariff code {{hts_code_if_known}}, (3) customs broker fees, (4) inland freight to {{warehouse_location}},
- 5. Amazon FBA fees if applicable {{category}}, (6) total landed cost per unit, and (7) minimum selling price at {{target_margin}}%. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

PRO TIP

Always budget 15% buffer on top of your calculated landed cost — freight surcharges, customs delays, and inspection fees consistently exceed first-time importers' estimates. Build the buffer in before you price the product.
