Comparison uses costs from the Export Profit tab. Click Calculate to refresh.
Seller pays: product, packing, loading, export customs. Buyer pays: main freight & insurance.

Runs a full order analysis from Export Profit inputs. Fill that tab and Calculate.
Educational checklist only — requirements vary by product, country and payment terms.
Free On Board — seller delivers goods on board at the origin port. Buyer arranges and pays main carriage and insurance.
Cost, Insurance and Freight — seller pays cost, minimum insurance and freight to destination port. Risk still passes on loading at origin.
When you invoice in foreign currency, INR realization moves with the rate. A small FX shift can change profit materially on large orders.
Ignoring bank charges, underestimating freight, forgetting inland haulage, and confusing margin with markup on export quotes.
Revenue in INR (invoice FC × exchange rate + incentives) minus all export-related costs.
Typically product, packing, inland transport to port, loading and export clearance — not main ocean/air freight.
FOB elements plus freight and insurance to the named destination port.
No. Under standard Incoterms, risk transfers when goods are loaded on board at origin, even on CIF.
Buyer preference and currency risk matter. USD is common; manage FX exposure deliberately.
Use a conservative rate for quotes, or the bank’s expected realization rate including spreads.
Incentives (where eligible) increase effective revenue — confirm scheme eligibility before counting them.
LC confirmation, negotiation, and remittance charges can erode thin margins on small orders.
It depends on product value density. If freight is a large share of cost, review packing, mode and routing.
Yes — it is designed to surface full cost before you commit to a price.
No. Use live freight/insurance quotes; this tool organizes them into profit analysis.
Sum all costs up to FOB point; that is the minimum FOB in INR before profit.
IEC, invoice, packing list and shipping bill are core; others depend on product and destination.
Many costs are semi-fixed; higher quantity often improves profit per unit if price holds.
Yes, if you pay agents or overseas commission on the order.
Varies by sector; track contribution after all variable export costs, not only factory margin.
Faster payment terms, advance, forward cover, or pricing clauses linked to rate bands.
Neither is universally better; it depends on who controls freight rates and buyer preference.
Export of goods is generally zero-rated under GST with conditions; confirm current law for your case.
Yes — it maps real cost heads used in export costing and Incoterms discussions.
