What it really costs to import from China to Nepal
Break down product price, freight, insurance, duties, clearing and delivery into a landed cost.
The factory price is only part of the cost. Landed cost adds China inland transport, export handling, international freight, insurance, Nepal customs duty and VAT, clearing charges and local delivery.
Comparing suppliers on landed cost — not unit price — is the only way to know which offer is actually cheaper.
