Hi all,
I have a question about how I can legally set a price for my product?
I just established my business, got my products made in Asia, then I imported it back to Australia.
In this case, is it a fraud if I set my prices way lower than any other similar ones in the market? Because I have a good source of manufacturer, shipping,etc. which reduces my cost.
I really need an advice before setting rhe prices! ;(
Thank guys!

So long as you’re not setting an artificially low price to damage competition and you’re not in a price regulated market (both of which are unlikely), then you can set your own price.

To be more specific, my products are disposable gloves. In Australia, they are around $120/carton, but my price will be just around $70/carton. I don't know is this industry its price regulated or not.

Not to my knowledge.
Nor to mine.
Go ahead and sell at whatever price you choose.
Consider however that a price that is (thought of by would-be cusomers as) "too low"
might make the customers think (right wrong) that they are of lesser quality.
