STEP 1 — KNOW YOUR NUMBERS
Container Margin Calculator
Pick a line and a port. See landed cost, typical local wholesale band and your indicative margin, before you talk to us.
Per-unit economics (indicative)
—Units per 40’HQ
Enter your resale price locally — the margin line updates from landed cost
—Landed cost / unit (excl. duty)
—Typical duty + VAT band
—Typical local wholesale / unit
—Indicative gross margin
Planning estimates: freight bands from recent market rates, wholesale bands from typical destination-market ranges, both move. Verify resale against your own market and confirm duty with your broker. We publish current assumptions monthly.
Step 2 — lock real numbers for your port
The calculator uses planning assumptions. Send the request and we’ll return a firm per-unit loading list with that day’s freight, valid 7 days, in writing.
How your money is protected
- 30% deposit · 70% after you’ve seen the loading video. We don’t ask for balance on promises, you watch your exact units run first.
- Third-party pre-shipment inspection welcome — SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek at your cost (typically $250–400 in China). We load after, not before.
- Payment to a corporate trade account (XTransfer) matching our contract entity, never a personal account, never a different name.
- Title stays with us until full payment. Contract states it; the B/L release proves it.
