Freight outward is normally incurred in relation to sale of goods & hence treated as selling expenses, The same will be charged off to profit & loss account
As per AS 2 regarding valuation of inventories, any expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to the location of its intended use will be a part of inventory cost & hence will be a part of trading account. Once the goods reached the destination, any expense incurred will be a part of P & L account
