The freight-in account is an accounting term used to record the transportation costs incurred to bring goods to a business's location. This account is classified as a part of inventory costs, as it directly affects the cost of goods sold (COGS) when the inventory is sold. By including freight-in costs, businesses can accurately assess the total cost of acquiring inventory for financial reporting and pricing strategies.

Which account is not classified as a selling expense?
Freight-in is not considered an adjunct account; rather, it is typically classified as a part of the cost of goods purchased. It represents the transportation costs incurred to bring inventory to a business and is added to the inventory account on the balance sheet. This cost is essential for determining the total cost of inventory, which affects the cost of goods sold when the inventory is eventually sold.
The normal balance of "freight in" is a debit. This account represents the cost of shipping goods to a business and is recorded as an expense, increasing the overall cost of inventory. When freight in is debited, it reflects the additional expenses incurred to acquire inventory, which ultimately affects the cost of goods sold when the inventory is sold.
You do..? Freight Inwards should be included in the costs of goods sold, as it is a direct cost in getting your goods ready for sale. After you have calculated all your COGS (opening + purchases - closing (-freight inwards (expenses))), it should be subtracted from your sales figure to get your gross profit....I think..?

"Freight Collect" is a term used in the freight moving business that means that the freight will be paid by the person receiving the freight. The alternative would be "Freight Prepaid." If you order something, and you pay the shipper for shipping, then they will pay the charges the trucking company charges to move the item. This amount could be more or less than what you give the shipper. If you tell the shipper that you will pay the cost when it arrives, then they will ship it "freight collect," meaning the trucking company will need a check payable to them when they deliver your item. If you have an account with a certain trucking company, then you can request that the shipper use that company so that you maybe billed. It will still be "Freight Collect," but will be automatically billed to you by the company that you use. Most of time "Freight Collect" use in china shipping containers. in the BL there need use freight collect. you can visit here learn more about "Freight collect" skype: haowangjiao56,

No. Freight Prepaid means either the freight is being paid for in the price of the product or being added as a separate line item to the total order. Using prepaid freight the vendor/supplier is compensationg the carrier for the cost. Freight collect means the carrier will bill the consignee for the freight cost. i.e. your account number. To determine which way is the most cost effective depends on the rates you can get vs the rates the vendor will charge. Keep in mind that just because a vendor has a more favorable rate, that does not mean they will pass those cost on to you.
