Compare EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP supplier quotes on the same cost basis.

Help guide: How to Compare Chinese Supplier Quotations

Prepare a reusable document: Proforma Invoice and Supplier Payment Checklist

Why normalize supplier quotes? EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP quotations often include different charges. This tool combines known product, origin, freight, duty, tax and destination costs so buyers can compare quotations on a similar planning basis.

Unknown costs remain unknown. Blank fields are never silently treated as confirmed zero. Landed cost is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed final charge.

Global Order Settings

Currency conversion is manual. Each quote can use its own rate, such as 1 EUR = 1.08 USD. No live exchange rate is fetched.

Supplier quotations

Compare two to four quotes. Company names are excluded from drafts and share links.

This tool provides a planning estimate only. Freight charges, customs duties, VAT, tariffs, port charges and other costs must be confirmed with suppliers, freight forwarders and relevant authorities.
