Ezewag helped convert a rough local price into a clearer export quotation direction.
Export Pricing Consultant - Ezewag Overseas, India
Set the right export price for your product - FOB, CIF, and everything that affects your margin.
Many Indian exporters quote a price that either loses money or loses the buyer - because they did not account for packing costs, freight, insurance, buyer margin expectations, or competitor pricing in the target market. Ezewag helps you build an export price that is accurate, competitive, and profitable before you quote any international buyer.

Why Pricing Matters
Quoting the wrong price is the fastest way to lose an international buyer's trust.
FOB means the buyer pays freight from the Indian port. CIF means you include freight and insurance in your price. Not knowing the difference leads to quoting errors that confuse buyers.
Freight costs can be 10 - 30% of the product value depending on the destination and shipment mode. If you do not account for freight, your price may look cheap to you but unprofitable after shipping.
Importers and distributors need their own margin to make business sense. Your price must leave room for the buyer's margin while still being competitive against other suppliers in that market.
What Ezewag Covers
Six pricing factors every Indian exporter must understand before quoting internationally.
Export pricing is not simply product cost plus margin. A correct export price accounts for packing, inland freight, port charges, ocean freight, insurance, buyer channel margin, and competitor pricing - all at once.
FOB pricing
We help you build a correct FOB price - covering product cost, export packing, inland transport, port-side charges, and your margin. FOB is where most Indian export quotes start.
CIF pricing
We help you understand CIF pricing - where you include ocean freight and insurance in the quoted price. Some buyers request CIF, and quoting it incorrectly can cost you money.
Freight impact analysis
We show you how shipment method, destination, container size, and packing efficiency affect your total landed cost - and how to factor that into your quote without losing margin.
Competitor pricing signals
We review what other suppliers from India, China, or other origins are charging in your target market - so your price is competitive, not blindly lower or inexplicably higher.
Buyer margin requirements
An importer, distributor, or wholesaler needs their own profit margin. We help you understand what margin is typical for your buyer type in your target market, so your price leaves room for the channel to work.
Profitable quotation direction
We bring all factors together and give you a clear, defensible price range - one that protects your margin, stays competitive in the market, and holds up in a buyer negotiation.
FOB Calculation Example
A clear FOB quote separates every cost before adding margin.
This example is a simplified walkthrough for buyer discussion planning. Real pricing must be adjusted for quantity, packing, port, currency, payment terms, product category, and current freight data.
Ex-factory product cost per unit
Base manufacturing or purchase cost before export packing, local handling, documentation, and margin.
Export packing and labeling
Carton, inner packing, labels, palletization assumptions, and product-protection cost for shipment readiness.
Inland handling and document allowance
Local movement, loading, basic documentation, bank or handling buffer, and port-side preparation assumptions.
Margin and quotation buffer
Target margin plus exchange-rate and negotiation buffer, giving an indicative FOB quote of INR 315 per unit before CIF freight and insurance.
Quotation Clarity
A premium export quote needs commercial logic behind it.
Ezewag helps businesses understand what should be checked before presenting a price to an importer, distributor, sourcing company, or buyer team.
Cost base
Product, packing, wastage, certification, local movement, and handling assumptions.
