Dear purchasers,
If you’ve been anxious lately about the skyrocketing US tariffs on China (up to 54% for some categories), this article is here to put your mind at ease. As a professional supplier deeply rooted in the children’s clothing industry for 15 years, LEZONKIDS always stands from the perspective of our customers and clearly understands the impact of cost fluctuations on the wholesale business. However, keep in mind that “there is always an opportunity hidden behind a crisis”. Our DDP quotation model has built a firewall for you. We promise that regardless of how tariffs change, your landed unit price will remain stable!
| Quotation Method | Cost Composition | Risk Bearer | Example (Sequin T-shirt) | Actual Landed Cost After a 54% Tariff Increase |
|---|
| Traditional Quotation (FOB/EXW) | FOB only includes the factory delivery price, and EXW is the factory pickup price. Neither includes tariffs and logistics costs. | Buyers bear all risks such as tariffs and logistics | $3.5 (only includes the factory delivery price, excluding tariffs and freight) | $5.39 ($3.5×(1 + 54%)) |
| LEZONKIDS’ Solution (DDP) | Includes ocean freight + tariffs | We bear all subsequent fluctuations | $4.2 (already includes tariffs + ocean freight) | $4.2 (already includes tariffs, unaffected by tariff increases) |
In conclusion, no matter how tariffs fluctuate, you only need to pay a fixed $4.2.
Amount Saved: 5.39 (FOB price including tax) – 4.2 (DDP price) = $1.19 per piece
(That is, it reduces your cost by approximately 22% per piece of clothing)
Ocean freight only fluctuates by $0.3/kg. (For example, for a children’s T-shirt, the difference is about $0.3/kg * 0.15, which is far lower than the tariff increase.
Countermeasure: We further compress logistics costs by optimizing the packing rate and offering consolidation services.
Generally speaking, for urgent needs, we provide transshipment channels via South Korea/Taiwan (with a full journey of 7 – 10 days). This not only significantly shortens the waiting period, allowing you to respond promptly to market demands, but also helps avoid some tariff pressures and additional air freight costs. However, there are additional charges.
Here, we strongly recommend that if time permits, you should give priority to our ocean freight DDP service. The ocean freight DDP service can not only provide you with a one-stop logistics solution, including ocean freight and all costs such as tariffs, so that you don’t have to worry about subsequent cost fluctuations, but also has a great advantage in cost control. Compared with other methods, the cost savings can be as high as 60%. This means that by choosing ocean freight DDP, while ensuring the safe delivery of your goods, you can minimize operating costs and expand your profit margins.
