What is required for the shipper’s export value calculation?

The accurate determination of a shipper's export value is critical for compliance with various regulations and accurate duty assessments. Calculating the export value involves not just the market value of the products but also the total costs associated with delivering the goods to their final destination.

Inland freight costs are included because they reflect the transport expenses incurred to move goods from the seller’s location to the port of export. Insurance details are equally important, as they cover the risk of loss or damage during transport. Thus, both of these factors together contribute to the total export value, ensuring it represents the total investment committed to moving the goods across borders.

On the other hand, market value of products alone wouldn’t provide a complete picture of the costs involved in exporting. Export tax information is essential for determining potential costs associated with duties but does not directly contribute to the calculation of export value itself. Product originality certificates, while significant for trade compliance and customs clearance, don't play a part in calculating the financial worth of the goods for export purposes.
