It will be treated as manufacturing cost, accordingly, will effect COGS ultimately.

<b>Definition</b>
Commonly, the total cost of a landed shipment including purchase price, freight, insurance, and other costs up to the port of destination. In some instances, it may also include the customs duties and other taxes levied on the shipment.

usually landed cost is the part of cost of purchase, we added landed cost in cost of purchase and calculate net purchases.

It will be included in material cost just as freight in is added in the cost of material in CGS.
