Is freight out and freight in included in cost og goods sold calc?

ASC 330, Inventory, states shipping costs (read: freight out) do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present condition and location and as such should not be included in inventory costs. Because freight out is not considered a product cost, not only would you not capitalize freight out into inventory on the balance sheet, but you would also not record this cost as a COGS item, but rather a sales expense (SG&A). On the other hand, freight in is a purchase cost as it gets inventory to its current location (ie your warehouse), so that cost should be capitalized as inventory on your balance sheet which will later be recognized as a COGS item when you sell the related inventory.
