Exporting through E-commerce Platform

[Guest]

We are selling goods through amazon.com and for that we have to send our goods to amazon US which is kept in their warehouse till the time they get a buy order from customer. Once the goods is sold then they revert us the payment within a month or so. Now my queries are-

We are exporting a goods costing $5 the sale price of the same is $10 but it is not fixed as amazon's discount policy it can be sold in a $8 or $9 also. Once the sale transaction is done. Amazon revert us the money as per the value of sale.

How do we export such goods? Presently we are sending through courier but in future we wish to send whole container.

What value we should consider for Export Invoice?

How do we get incentive on exports ?

How do we close BRC of the inward remittance?

Kindly clarify the matters mentioned above.
