pass through

Move right through

Pass through describes movement from one side of something to the other, whether physical or abstract.

Light passes through a window; a traveler passes through a town without stopping.

In business contexts, a pass-through refers to costs transferred directly to customers without markup, or income that flows through an entity to its owners for tax purposes.

The fee increase will pass through to consumers.

A pass-through can also be an opening between rooms, like a kitchen window to a dining area.
