Weight + size adds forwarder cost; authenticity checks matter on local marketplaces.

How we calculate

  1. Ship USD = max(forwarder min, weight × $/kg) × category surcharge.
  2. Landed local = buy + shipping + duty estimate + marketplace logistics.
  3. Sell price is set so that after marketplace fee you hit the target margin (~30% in the example).
