Common Questions From OEM Buyers
How much budget should I set aside for compliance?
Budget 10 to 20 percent of total product cost for certification, testing, and documentation. Skipping this step usually costs more in rework later.
How is tooling cost calculated in OEM?
Tooling covers molds and fixtures for your specific design. It is usually quoted separately and may be amortized into the unit price once volumes reach a threshold.
Why do quotes vary so much between suppliers?
Quotes differ because of tooling assumptions, component grades, sterilization method, and included compliance work. Compare the full scope, not just the unit price.
What payment terms are standard in China?
A 30/40/30 split is common for first orders. Suppliers may offer letter of credit or better terms after a few repeat orders with a clean delivery record.
What hidden costs should I plan for?
Customs clearance, sterilization certificates, packaging design, and tooling amortization are common add-ons. Ask for a landed cost breakdown before signing.
