Landed cost

Packing & shipping

Unit price is the number buyers negotiate. Units per container is the number that decides whether the deal works. Here is how the three packing formats compare, plus a calculator so you can run the arithmetic yourself.

CBU

Fully assembled

Ready to sell on arrival. Fewest units per container, lowest labour at your end. Suited to low volumes and to markets with no assembly capability.

SKD

Semi-knocked-down

Wheels, mirrors, handlebar and body items packed separately. Substantially more units per container; assembly takes a trained person minutes, not hours.

CKD

Completely knocked-down

Maximum density and, in some markets, a materially lower duty rate. Requires a real assembly operation at destination. Ask us before assuming your market qualifies.

Pick a model, a packing format and a container. The estimate below is geometric — it fits cartons into the container in the best of six orientations. Use it to sanity-check a quotation, then ask us for the confirmed loading plan before you book.

Estimate only. Real carton dimensions depend on how each model is dismantled and packed, and the estimate ignores payload weight limits. Always confirm with a loading plan before booking.

What a usable quotation contains

If a quotation is missing any of these lines, you cannot calculate landed cost and you cannot compare two suppliers honestly.

Line itemWhy it decides the deal
Carton dimensions and gross weightDrives volumetric cost and your warehouse handling.
Units per 20GP / 40HQ, by packing formatThe single biggest lever on freight cost per unit.
EXW, FOB Ningbo and CIF on one sheetLets you compare against suppliers quoting different terms.
Battery classification and DG surchargeLithium shipments carry handling costs that never appear in a unit price.
HS code proposed for the goodsYour broker needs it to confirm the duty position before you commit.
Spare parts ratio includedParts shipped with the order cost a fraction of parts air-freighted in year two.
Quantity break pointsOften one more pallet moves you into the next price tier.
Logistics

Sea freight, and only sea freight

Lithium-equipped vehicles ship by sea from Ningbo. Samples included. The documentation set travels with the goods: bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, UN38.3, MSDS and the dangerous-goods packing certificate.

If you already have a forwarder, we work to their booking. If you do not, we will quote CIF and hand your broker a complete document set.
