The short answer

Divide the relevant batch costs by expected sellable units, then expose assumptions. The result is a planning estimate, not a tariff quote or guaranteed margin.

Practical workflow

For an illustrative batch, 10 units cost 5000 currency units and quoted batch logistics cost 1000. If all 10 are sellable, this subtotal is 600 per unit; if only 9 are sellable, it is about 666.67. Add applicable costs only from verified quotes and professional advice. Keep duties, tax, storage and returns separate.

What a useful handoff looks like

Ask the responsible broker or provider to confirm charges and exclusions. Run a scenario for damaged units or a delayed sale without presenting it as a forecast. Label currency and time period clearly.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not divide by ordered quantity while ignoring unsellable stock, or publish illustrative inputs as current market prices. Customs and tax treatment require qualified review.
