Top secrets about Export Pricing!

 
Lets embrace this new normal and equip ourselves with knowledge to emerge stronger and better.

We hereby share some top secrets on EXPORT PRICING which can be helpful in winning the deal –

#  Identifying correct HSN codes for your products

Applying incorrect HSN codes would lead to availing wrong set of benefits and even application of incorrect customs duty rates by the importing country. Hence, it is important to identify correct HSN codes for export items and avail correct set of benefits which can help in lowering export prices or increasing profit margins.

#  Reducing cost of imports for your customers

Without squeezing your margins, you can reduce the landed cost of imports to buyer’s country in following multiple ways:

• Maximizing benefits on export of goods –Multiple export benefits can be availed on single export from India. There is a myth that only one export benefit can be availed on single export. But that’s not true. Availing multiple set of export benefits on single product can help in increasing product margins by around 2-5%. That’s a great margin!

• Reduced or Zero customs tariff on import by GSP countries –
  GSP countries have accorded special treatment to the developing countries to charge reduced or zero customs tariff on imports of specified products from developing nations like India.

# Increasing market share of your product by applying knowledge of customs duty

Knowing and comparing buyer (importer) country’s customs duty rates if imported from India vs. from other competitor countries can help in understanding the landed cost to the buyer country.

For instance, if your customer is located in Germany looking to buy your product which even China has to offer, then it may be always important to know about customs duty rate if that product is imported from China.

Following illustration can actually help you to understand that on comparing customs duty applicable on imports from competitor countries, India has straightway extra margin of around 4.5% than Chinese exporter.

# Export benefits on your services

Export incentives are available even on export of services from India to overseas countries. The benefits available are in the range of 3-7% of the net foreign exchange earned. In our experience, incentives on services exports are mostly not availed by exporter. For instance, engineering services, etc.

Assistance is available in the form of lease rental charges for Opening of showrooms/warehouses/marketing offices/display of products at international departmental stores etc.
