Bus/Financial - Manufacturing / Supply Chain term
Japanese term or phrase: 日本出し価格がベース vs. 顧客渡しベース
This is an electronics manufacturer who also sells products in US.
Seems like a supply chain term, I google it but couldn't find exact meaning. Any help would be grateful.

delivered ex-Japan vs. arrived-customer pricing
Explanation:
I would translate it like this:

"As of last year, a switch was made from using pricing based on delivered ex-Japan, to pricing based on arrived-customer pricing."

In a supply chain, the pricing will vary depending on where the goods are physically located, and what conditions the goods are in. In international import/export, goods are often bought on the condition that they are in a delivery-ready state in standard packaging at a specified port for pick-up...this would be "delivery ex-Japan." However, as the goods move from Japan to another international location, they incur delivery, insurance and handling fees along the way, which increases the price of the goods. I think using the term "arrived-customer pricing" would be fine.

Good luck.

Asker: Hi Troy, thanks for the help! The 'ex' here comes from Export?

agree  RieM: Very well explained! "Delivered ex **" is a common term used in export/import. Can use "delivered to customer basis" for 顧客渡し.

Japan export price basis vs. Final retail price basis


Explanation:
This is usually used in comparing prices of goods across countries. In this case, it's probably a comparison of price when exported from country of origin vs. the price when it is sold to the consumer in the target country.

disagree  Troy Fowler: I humbly disagree with "final retail price", as the 観客 in question could be an intermediary customer （）. "Final retail" would be something like 小売価格.

  -> 小売価格 is usually the recommended retail price, which may or may not be the actual price it's sold at. That's why I translated it as "final retail price" instead of just "retail price".
