Understanding total cost: Beyond of unit price
Step 1: Calculate Total Landed Cost
To evaluate total cost of purchasing bulk first aid supplies, you need to consider all potential expenses which include shpping, customs duties, tax, delivery fees, warehousing fee, document fee,etc.
Total cost= (Unit Price × Order Quantity) + Shipping + Customs Duties + Insurance + Local Taxes
For example:
For a first aid resupply at $8/unit based on quantity 500 units:
First Aid Resupply cost: $8x500=$4,000
Shipping (DDU):$420
Customs Duties: 8% of medical product cost ($320)
Total cost: $4,740
Small tips: Demand DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Terms, you don't need to pay extra customs fees which is easier for you to calculate your final costs. Supplier handles tariffs, taxes, and delivery fee to your warehouse.
Negotiation tip of DDP:
“We prefer DDP terms to simplify logistics. Can you provide a door to door quote including tariffs?”
