    That’s quite inaccurate. Many of these taxes are not additive but multiplicative:

    Retail price = ((Purchase price + international transport costs) * tariff + national transport cost) * profit margin * sale tax

    In other words, it’s even worse than you wrote.

      I tryed to be as simple as possible assuming that calculations were made separatly in different functions (programmer here). Anyway, tariff is a tax collected by custom office, payed by importer, included in final price that customer pays for the product.
