China sourcing split quote guide for overseas buyers
Understand product cost, service fee, China freight, international freight, packaging, inspection, and extras before you compare suppliers.
Many sourcing problems start with one unclear number. When product cost, freight, service, packaging, and inspection are mixed together, the buyer cannot compare suppliers properly.
A split quote makes the buying decision easier because every major cost line has its own place.
Product cost
This is the factory or wholesale product price. It should be tied to quantity, specs, color, size, material, and packaging assumptions.
- Unit price
- MOQ
- Sample fee
- Price changes by quantity
Service and checking scope
If a sourcing partner is involved, the service scope should be clear. Buyers should know what is included and what costs extra.
- Supplier search
- Communication and follow-up
- Visible goods checking
- Warehouse receiving and consolidation
China domestic freight
Goods often need to move from factory to warehouse or forwarder inside China. This cost should not be hidden inside product price.
- Factory to warehouse
- Factory to forwarder
- Multi-supplier receiving
- Carton or volume impact
International freight and extras
Shipping cost depends on destination, volume, weight, route, speed, and forwarder option. Packaging, labels, inspection, testing, or storage may be separate.
- Air, sea, express, or forwarder option
- Packaging or labels
- Inspection or lab test
- Storage and consolidation

FAQ
Why is a split quote better than one total price?
It helps buyers see whether product cost, logistics, service scope, or optional extras are causing the total cost.
Can QIXI prepare a split quote for an existing supplier?
Yes. Send product details, quantity, destination, and the existing quote so QIXI can separate the major cost lines.
