What does the fob price include? Is there any shipping cost?

Nowadays, everyone has a lot of promotion tools when opening online stores, and the competition among online stores is very fierce. Everyone doesn’t know how much they have to spend on promotion alone to improve their store ranking and traffic. What does the fob price include?

1. What fees are included in the fob price?

1. Processing and finishing costs;

2. Packaging costs;

3. Storage costs (warehousing/rental, fire insurance, etc.);

4. Domestic transportation costs (from warehouse to port);

5. Document fees (including commodity inspection fees, notarization fees, consular visa fees, certificate of origin fees, license fees, storage fees, etc.);

6. Shipping charges (shipping, lifting and barge charges, etc.);

7. Bank charges (discount interest, handling fees, etc.);

8. Expected losses (loss, short loss, leakage, breakage, deterioration, etc.);

9. Postage and telecommunications charges (telegram, telephone, email, fax, e-mail, etc.).

The costs of FOB LCL include: THC, terminal, and generally an additional operation fee. Other costs will be charged if they happen to you, otherwise they will not, such as customs clearance fees, telex release fees, etc.

The FOB price includes product production cost, corporate profit, inland freight, packing fee, customs clearance fee, commodity inspection fee, and port or FOB price.

2. Is there any shipping fee?

First of all, regarding the question of whether the fob price includes freight, it does include freight. If there are a lot of goods or the profit is high, domestic costs can be ignored. If there are fewer goods, the price needs to be increased accordingly, because the unit cost has increased a lot. The unit cost mainly includes: inland freight (factory to port or container warehouse), loading and unloading fees (especially some goods that cannot be loaded and unloaded mechanically), LCL fees, terminal fees, customs clearance fees, inspection fees, etc.

This is the end of the introduction to the fob price, but you must choose promotional tools based on your own costs and the promotion effect. If your costs are too high, then there is little point in promoting because profits will be compressed.
