Export Pricing Readiness India.
Know exactly where you stand.

A complete export costing model for Indian exporters: (1) Production cost — raw material, labour, overhead, packaging for export; (2) Inland freight — factory to port or air cargo terminal; (3) Port charges — THC (terminal handling), documentation, port storage if applicable; (4) Freight — ocean/air freight from India to destination port; (5) Insurance — cargo insurance (typically 0.5-1% of cargo value); (6) Agent commissions — if selling through buying agents or distributors; (7) Export documentation — certificate of origin, inspection fees, other certifications; (8) Financing cost — if offering credit terms (DP, DA, LC at 90/180 days), add interest cost; (9) Forex buffer — 2-5% hedge cost or natural hedge adjustment; (10) Export incentives as a credit — RoDTEP, duty drawback. Adding up items 1-9 gives your minimum CIF price; subtract item 10 to get the effective cost after incentives.

RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) is India's flagship export incentive scheme that refunds embedded taxes and duties not rebated through other mechanisms (state taxes, electricity duties, mandi taxes, fuel surcharges). Key facts: rates vary by product (0.5% to 4.3% of FOB value depending on HS code); the benefit is issued as a transferable scrip credited to your ICEGATE account; scrips can be used to pay basic customs duty on imports or sold to importers at a small discount. To claim RoDTEP: your shipping bill must be filed with the RoDTEP claim (Y); the benefit is auto-processed after shipping bill is let out. IBEAN ensures your HS code is correctly classified for the highest applicable RoDTEP rate and that your shipping bills are correctly filed to maximise recovery.
