Module 7 · Export Viability Results

About This Calculator

This tool is built for Indonesian vape liquid producers who are evaluating or actively running exports to the United Kingdom, Poland, and the Philippines. It models the full landed cost stack from production through to the importer’s door, including all excise duties, import VAT, freight, insurance, compliance overhead, and destination charges. Giving you a gross margin figure for each market side by side.

What It Calculates

Production cost is built up from your actual ingredient costs, combined with your packaging and labour figures. You enter costs in Indonesian Rupiah per litre or per unit, and the tool converts everything to the destination market currency using live exchange rates.

Freight is modelled as a rate per kilogram multiplied by chargeable weight, with separate forwarder fees, destination handling charges, export admin (PEB filing), and marine insurance on top.

Destination taxes are preloaded with current official rates but fully editable:

United Kingdom 0% customs duty under the UK Global Tariff for HS 2404.12/2404.19. Vaping Products Duty (VPD) at £0.22 per ml applies from 1 October 2026 under the Finance Act 2024. UK VAT at 20% applies on the CIF value plus duty plus excise, though importers registered for VAT will typically reclaim this on their return.

Poland (European Union). 0% customs duty under the EU Common External Tariff for ASEAN-origin goods on this HS heading. Polish excise on eliquid is set under the Polish Excise Duty Act and escalates annually: zł 0.96/ml in 2025, zł 1.44/ml in 2026, zł 1.80/ml in 2027. The year selector autofills the rate. Banderole tax stamps are required per unit. The tool includes separate fields for importer registration, TPD notification fees, and product registration costs, which are often overlooked in margin calculations. Polish VAT runs at 23%.

Philippines. 0% customs duty is available under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) provided you hold a valid ASEAN Form D certificate of origin. Philippine excise is levied under Republic Act 11467 and increases by 5% each year from a 2026 base: nicotine salt liquids are currently taxed at ₱60.20/ml and freebase liquids at ₱6.49/ml. The year selector from 2026 through 2030 autocalculates the compounded rate. A unified rate bill is currently before the Philippine Congress. he unified rate scenario field lets you model that outcome. Philippine VAT is 12%.

Indonesian Excise Status

The export excise status of vape liquid (HPTL) under Indonesian Bea Cukai regulations has not been formally confirmed as universally exempt at the time this calculator was last updated. The tool defaults to export exempt, which is the working assumption used by most exporters operating under an NPPBKC licence, but you can switch to an excise-applies mode (which applies the 2024 CHT HPTL tariff) or enter a manual batch excise amount. Verify your status with your NPPBKC adviser or a licensed Bea Cukai consultant before each shipment.

Limitations and Disclaimer

This calculator is a planning and feasibility tool. It does not constitute tax, legal, or customs advice. Excise rates, duty classifications, VAT rules, and compliance requirements can change with little notice. Always verify current rates.
