Customs Clearing Agent Salary Accounted For In Cost Of Goods
Is it permissible to add the salary of customs clearing agents in the cost of goods purchased in pursuance of a Murabaha contract?
With regards to customs clearing agents working for the seller in a foreign country in order to facilitate the import of goods by the seller, all money paid to them may be added to the cost of goods. However, if such agents are part of the seller’s staff, only that portion of money paid to them for clearance of the specified goods may be added to the cost.
