The correct answer is: A, B, C, and D.

According to the WTO’s Agreement on Customs Valuation, the following deductions are allowed from the transaction value:

  • Discounts actually allowed (e.g., trade discounts, quantity discounts, and cash discounts)
  • Packing charges
  • Any amount paid by the buyer on behalf of the seller, such as customs duties, taxes, and insurance
  • Freight charges

It is important to note that these deductions are only allowed if they are clearly shown on the invoice or other commercial documents.
