Deciding that is completely external to GnuCash, which doesn't even do cost accounting for WIP inventory. It might be in scope for an ERP program like odoo (https://www.odoo.com/) that does do cost accounting, but even that's doubtful and most of an ERP suite wouldn't be useful to a freight forwarder. (I used to be the production control manager at an integrated circuit manufacturer so I have a small understanding of international shipping.)

Way out of gnc's scope.  gnc as a backend is useful.
