Discusses pricing formula and other fees, value-added tax (VAT), etc.
Local importers base their pricing on the export price, freight costs, applicable import tariffs and taxes, the 16 percent sales tax (depending on the product), and profit margin.  U.S. manufacturers and suppliers should, however, coordinate with local representatives before assigning a final price to a product. The Jordanian market is price-sensitive. Products with higher prices than the competition will need marketing support and must be of demonstrably higher quality. American companies have additional advantages through the U.S.-Jordan FTA.  For more information, please visit USTR website.
