What should be included in landed cost for ROI?
Landed cost = CIF value + BCD + SWS + IGST (non-recoverable) + port handling + CHA + inland freight to warehouse. Recoverable IGST should be excluded.
What is a good ROI for an import deal?
A minimum 25–30% ROI is considered viable for most import deals accounting for the 90–120 day cycle. Higher-value goods with lower duties can achieve 40–60% ROI.
How does the finance period affect ROI?
A longer import cycle ties up working capital longer, increasing interest cost and reducing effective ROI. Faster-moving goods with shorter credit terms improve annualised returns.
