Replying To [Nilay Jobanputra]:

Why don't you ask your Suopplier to give you FOB rates?

Would be much easier.

Alternatively (if you are buying X-Works) you need to ask your Freight forwader.

Replying to [Nilay Jobanputra]: It's purely upto you, You have to keep in mind various points such as
Transportation cost upto Port
Who will bear the Advt. & sales promotion expenses?
Which country you want to export?
Other operating expenses such as STD/ISD ?
Freight forwarder cost?
Your margin?
etc

While calculating the FOB prices, certain local overheads should kept in mind in order to ascertain the FOB prices. These overheads varies from country to country. Few local overheads which need to be considered while calculating the FOB prices are :

Terminal Handling Charges (THC)

Bill Of Lading Charges (BL)

Transportation Cost (From Loading point to Port)

Documentation Charges (For export, if any)

Clearing agent charges (if goods being forwarded through Clearing / Forwarding agents)

 

apart from it, there could be some other mandatory charges as well, which varies country to country

 

thx..

Dear All

The good suggestion is to make a example for that easier and clearer to understand. [em37]
