Costs & payment

The unit price a factory quotes is rarely the number that matters. What matters is the landed cost: the price of good product, delivered and duty-paid, at your door.

These guides cover how to build up a landed price, the costs that get missed until they appear on an invoice, how to pay suppliers without carrying unnecessary risk, and which levers actually reduce cost rather than just moving it.
