Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a healthy profit margin for importing from China?
It depends on the product and on where you sell. Marketplace fees and advertising take a share of the price before your profit; enter your own figures and the calculator shows what remains.
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.
