The same entered cost database is recalculated according to each seller-side responsibility structure.
How Is This Result Calculated?
The calculator separates the original Goods Value from the additional seller-side Incoterm cost. The two components are then converted to the selected selling unit.
Incoterms® 2020 Rules
The 11 Incoterms® 2020 rules establish delivery, risk and cost responsibilities between seller and buyer. The calculator uses the seller-side cost responsibility as the framework for commercial price building.

Incoterm Price Builder for International Trade
NS Continent's Incoterm Price Builder helps importers, exporters, trading companies and logistics professionals estimate how goods value and seller-side logistics costs build toward the 11 Incoterms® 2020 rules.
What is an Incoterm?
Incoterms® are international trade rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce that provide a common framework for important delivery, cost and risk responsibilities between sellers and buyers.
What are the 11 Incoterms® 2020?
The 11 Incoterms® 2020 rules are EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU and DDP. EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAP, DPU and DDP are rules for any mode or modes of transport. FAS, FOB, CFR and CIF are rules for sea and inland waterway transport.
Why are Export Customs Clearance and Origin Charges separate?
Export customs clearance is a customs-related responsibility, while origin local and terminal charges may represent handling, terminal or other operational costs. The calculator keeps these categories separate so users can reproduce their actual costing structure without automatically combining different charges into one artificial line.
How is an Incoterm price calculated?
The calculator starts with the Goods Value and then adds the applicable seller-side costs for the selected Incoterm, such as export clearance, origin transport, origin handling, seller delivery costs, main carriage, destination transportation, unloading or import-related costs where applicable.
How is price per carton calculated?
Goods Value is divided by the total sales quantity to calculate Goods Price per Carton. The Total Incoterm Value Excluding Goods Value is divided by the same quantity to calculate Incoterm Cost per Carton. These values are then added to produce the Final Incoterm Price per Carton.
How is price per kilogram calculated?
Select KILOGRAM as the selling unit and enter the total kilograms. The calculator divides the Goods Value and the additional Incoterm Value Excluding Goods by the total kilogram quantity.
How is price per piece, package or liter calculated?
The calculator also supports PIECES, PACKAGE and LITER. The selected sales quantity becomes the denominator for both Goods Price per Unit and Incoterm Cost per Unit.
EXW vs FOB vs CIF vs DDP
EXW places seller delivery at the named place of origin. FOB extends seller delivery until the goods are on board the vessel. CIF adds seller-paid carriage and seller-arranged insurance. DDP extends seller responsibility to destination, including import clearance and applicable import duties and taxes.
FAS vs FOB
FAS ends seller delivery when the goods are placed alongside the vessel. FOB ends seller delivery when the goods are on board the vessel. Therefore the calculator treats the seller responsibility point differently for FAS and FOB.
DAP vs DPU
DAP delivers the goods at the named destination ready for unloading. DPU goes one step further and requires the seller to unload the goods at the named destination.
DDP and Import Costs
Under DDP, seller-side commercial costing can include import customs clearance and applicable import duties and taxes. Destination unloading is not automatically included in the DDP calculation.
Incoterm pricing for Indonesia
For Indonesian import and export transactions, the exact named place or named port should be clearly stated with the selected Incoterm. Actual commercial pricing should be reviewed against carrier contracts, terminal charges, trucking, customs requirements, insurance arrangements, taxes and other contractual provisions.
