We would like to know how much minimum % of profit margin we should add while giving FOB PRICES in export business.

We also want name of countries where registration is not compulsory.

We are also an exporter. We are manufacturers of stretchers, as for FOB price, we usually use the EXW price+the transportation fee, because the EXW must already include profit in.

It is most important that what price the importer is expecting to agree to import the product rather than profit margin that you expect. Now every importer is having access all information on the product in any country. So, it is the necessity and price of the importer that works out.

YOU REDUCE 1% PRICE IN YOUR PRODUCT FOR EXPORT AS COMPARISON OF YOUR DOMESTIC PRICE & THIS 1% OF FOB YOU WILL GET AS A DUTY DRAWBACK ON PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT.

IT IS GOOD FOR YOU BECAUSE YOUR 1% REDUCTION IN YOUR PRICE MAY GOOD FOR IMPORTER ALSO.

Basically you have to know the % of the drawback.Duty drawback also a profit to the exporter and government also giving some special benefits like focus products scheme..etc. so calculate all the benefits carefully and fix the price for the products.
