Determining the price of your products sold in Australia, whether in consumer markets or B2B, presents various challenges. Pricing is often a balancing act; on the one hand, you want to maximise your profitability, yet on the other hand, you need to price your products competitively. You don’t want to drive your customer base with expensive goods. Determining the landed cost or real cost of a product is an essential exercise.
Thankfully, the experts at BCR can assist you in determining product pricing points. We will be able to perform an audit of your supply chain and then provide international freight quotes. Using our landed cost analysis and solutions, you will have access to enhanced transparency and visibility, especially in the following key areas:
ORIGIN CHARGES
Origin charges refer to the costs attached to the services provided before the cargo has departed the origin seaport or airport. As a result, these costs relate to cartage, customs clearance, quality control measures, packaging, and packing requirements. It also refers to documentation, booking information, terminal handling, and other critical services provided at the origin location. A comprehensive audit of your supply chain system will ensure that you can rest assured that the figures will be accurate and reliable when we quote freight costs and charges.
INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT
The movement of cargo across both local and national boundaries can also be a logistical challenge. For example, Australia has stringent laws regarding the movement of certain items into the country, hence why tourists often complain about regulatory strictness. If you need shipping quotes, your freight needs to be assessed. This is because cargo is treated differently depending on how it needs to be handled, how large it is, and its fragility.
Moreover, our international freight quotes will consider whether there are any security issues relating to your cargo. Your products might need to go through added security checks or measures, depending on the country of origin. At the same time, we’ll include any seasonal surcharges or additional costs in your sea freight quotes.
DESTINATION CHARGES
At the other end of the spectrum are destination charges related to costs incurred once the cargo arrives at the desired location. So, what does this include? Well, terminal handling can be a hefty cost, which needs to be factored into your international freight quotes. As mentioned earlier, customs and quarantine requirements can be a significant cost driver as well, especially in countries like Australia. If the cargo is being delivered somewhere in Australia, customs duty, relevant taxes, and clearance issues will need to be sorted and factored into the quote.
Once your cargo arrives in the country, arrangements must be made to ensure that the load can be transported from the terminal to specific locations, namely warehouses. Consequently, our freight forwarder quotes will consider all the necessary services and processes that need to be ticked off.
With help from the reliable team at BCR, you’ll be able to rest assured knowing that your supply chain charges and internal costing structures are reliable and sustaining.
