FOB Pricing Best Practices
Update the exchange rate daily
CNY floats vs. USD and other currencies. Use the latest mid-market rate or your bank's selling rate to avoid margin erosion.
Verify the tax rebate code
Rebate rates (0%–17%) depend on the HS code. Double-check the latest customs tariff to avoid quoting a rebate you won't receive.
Round up, not down
For final customer-facing FOB quotes, round per-unit price up to 2 or 4 decimals and add a 2–3% buffer for unexpected port costs.
Common Questions
What formula does this calculator use?
Core formula: FOB = (1 − [Rebate / (1 + VAT)]) × RMB Cost ÷ Exchange Rate. When logistics & margin are enabled, we add domestic/port fees (allocated per unit) and multiply by (1 + profit %).
What does "FOB" actually mean?
FOB = Free On Board (named port of shipment). Under FOB terms the seller pays for inland transport, export customs, and loading onto the vessel; the buyer pays ocean freight, insurance, and import costs from that point onward.
Why is the VAT and rebate separated this way?
In China the supplier's RMB price is always VAT-inclusive (13% for most manufactured goods). At export the State Tax Bureau refunds a portion of that VAT back to the exporter. This tool subtracts the present value of that refund from unit cost before converting to currency.
Can I use this for CFR, CIF, EXW or DDP?
This calculator focuses on FOB. For CFR add freight to the total; for CIF also add insurance; for DDP add import duties, VAT and last-mile delivery. EXW simply means no domestic/port fees, no export customs — untick that checkbox to approximate an EXW export price.
What's a typical profit margin in FOB export?
Most experienced exporters target 10–20% gross margin on FOB. Competitive commodities may run 5–10%; custom-engineered or OEM products can reach 25%+. Always leave a buffer of 2–3% for exchange rate volatility and unexpected fees.
