The export price that looks profitable until freight, duty and channel margins land.
The export price that looks profitable until freight, duty and channel margins land. Build the chain from ex-works to required shelf price and see the multiple — then decide if the market can carry it.
CIF = ex-works + freight + insurance. Landed = CIF + duty + clearance + local freight.
Each channel margin applies on that partner's selling price, so margins compound: price = cost ÷ (1 − margin).
The output is the shelf price your ex-works price requires. Compare it against the market's reference price before booking the container.
Illustrative figures, not a client outcome.
Look up your HS code in the destination's customs tariff — and check trade agreements; preferential rates change the answer completely. Rates change with budgets, so date your assumption.
You can compress your ex-works or skip a chain layer (sell to importer-retailers). Absorbing silently into 'marketing budget' is how export P&Ls die.
