Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a healthy profit margin for importing from China?
For e-commerce marketplaces (Amazon/Flipkart), aim for at least 3x markup on landed cost (30-40% net margin after ad fees). For B2B wholesale, a 20-30% net margin is typical.
How does Input Tax Credit (ITC) affect profit calculations?
Because IGST paid at customs is credited back against GST collected on domestic sales, IGST is not an expense—it is a working capital advance that improves net operational margins.
