How do I enter an Associated Item under Landed Cost tab of Inbound Shipment? There's nothing in the dropdown for me to select and I cannot save the record until there is a value there.

Your item doesn't happen to be an outsourced item does it? Sneaky suspicion you're running into the same issue I just ran into with Netsuite. I'll reply with their reply to me below:
As checked, I have confirmed that the inbound shipments in question include outsourced items which item type is Other Charge for Purchase. These items are what appear on the following Inbound Shipments: a. INBSHIP1 | NX9 Slope V2 : Outsourced b. INBSHIP2 | NX7 Pro Slope : Outsourced As further checked, items with the item type of Other Charge for Purchase do not have the option to track landed costs yet. Unlike other item types, the Track Landed Cost checkbox is not yet accessible on the item record of Other Charge for Purchase items. This is the reason why the items from the Purchase Orders do not appear under Associated Items column on the Inbound Shipment. This is currently logged under Enhancement 51394. This is the case because landed cost can only be tracked for Inventory Items within the system, the landed cost recognized is applied to the asset account of the item where Landed Cost is being tracked. For Non-Inventory Items (including Other Charge for Purchase), this cannot be made since Non-Inventory Items do not have Asset accounts associated with them. As checked on the cases attached to the enhancement, the only alternative solution suggested would be to manually change the rate of the item and increase it by the amount of the landed cost. We understand that the aforementioned feature will be beneficial for you. Fortunately, there is already an Enhancement request logged for the same concern, with details as follows: 51394 Profitability Reporting> show profit/cost/margin on non-inventory Items Accordingly, I will attach this case to add a vote to the above enhancement. Our system engineers periodically review these and hopefully this will be implemented in one of our future releases. Note however, that there is no specific time-frame of the said release. Further details of the Enhancement will be included in the succeeding email. Apologies for the limited assistance as this concern is a system limitation.
Not super helpful, but my workaround has been to receive the product into the factory location, and then "transfer order" the products over to our actual warehouse, and I can add the landed cost and tariff cost to the transfer order
