Take our stackable training chair 088-1 at USD 27 EXW, 1,040 pcs per 40HQ, a USD 5,000 container, USD 1,200 of inland and clearance, and 6% duty:
The chair is USD 27. You pay USD 34.58. 28% of what you pay is not the chair. That is the number a unit price hides.
Same container, same freight, different chair — the freight per chair changes by a factor of four:
| Model | Pcs/40HQ | Freight/chair @$5,000 | Landed @6% duty (chair only) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 088-1 training chair | 1,040 | $4.81 | $32.96 + inland |
| 068-3 with tablet | 586 | $8.53 | $37.99 + inland |
| A510 executive | 264 | $18.94 | $78.68 + inland |
The three chairs differ in price for real reasons — mechanism, upholstery, base. But the freight column differs for a reason that has nothing to do with quality: how the chair packs.
A supplier who will not give you a loading quantity is not giving you a comparable quote. It is usually because the number is poor, not because it is confidential.
EXW unit price, plus ocean freight per chair, plus inland trucking and clearance at destination per chair, plus import duty. It does not include VAT/GST at destination, which you reclaim or pass on depending on your registration.
From your forwarder, for your lane and container type. We quote EXW only, so freight is not in our price — but our partner forwarder can quote it directly if you do not have one.
Because it is charged per shipment, not per chair — a customs broker fee or a truck to your warehouse costs the same whether the container holds 264 chairs or 1,040. Entering it as a total and dividing by quantity is the only way the arithmetic stays honest.
Your country's HS rate for seating. We do not publish duty rates because they differ per market and change; ask your customs broker for the code that applies to your import.
