Japanese term

市場諸掛費

Japanese to English Bus/Financial Accounting Expenses' journal entries
損益計算書の「売上原価」の項目の中に、本店仕入高、ロイヤルティと並んで「市場諸掛費」という用語があるのですが、Google検索しても見つかりません。

仕入諸掛であれば、商品を仕入れる時にかかる費用、付随費用といった解説もあ
りましたが、「市場諸掛費」に同様の意味が当てはまるのかよくわかりません。

諸掛費 normally means the expenses like freight charges, duties paid at the border check point customs, insurance on goods to be exported and etc.

But, when 市場 is added at front, no matched terms are returned after hitting search engines.
Proposed translations (English)

市場使用料?

(various) marketing costs

My answer is based on the following:

諸掛 = expenses, charges, costs (Nelson’s Japanese Character Dictionary)

市場調査 =a marketing survey; market(ing) research (Shogakukan J-E Dictionary)

Dear Ken-san,
I was just getting ready to send you this:
Please excuse me but I did not read your top part carefully enough…Now I clearly see that you mention that 市場諸掛費 is grouped in the heading of 売上原価. This concerns me with my answer because the cost of goods sold “売上原価” is the costs actually incurred in producing the product or service. It concerns the direct costs of production and doesn’t include indirect costs, which may be things like administration and “marketing costs.

I’d better keep checking…..

I wish I could help but I haven't had much luck, Ken-san. I just see that COGS can be treated quite differently from company to company...(some companies might put "affiliate marketing payments" into COGS instead of treating it as an indirect expense, etc.)
I hope you find the answer. :-)
Note from asker:
Dear Joyce, according to an accountant, marketing expense is a bit different from 諸掛. What 諸掛 means is correct per your quote. Normally it covers freight charge, duties paid and etc. http://www.allbusiness.com/glossaries/marketing-expense/4944616-1.html http://www.qualityeldercare.com/marketing_expense.html Do you have any other idea? I really appreciate your attention and prompt response as always.
Dear Joyce, I deeply appreciate your attention.
