As of July 2026, the first number to build is a landed-cost budget: product cost + China domestic freight + QC + packing + international freight + duty/tax + contingency. JTLGO's fee is USD 10 up to USD 500 product value, then 3% above USD 500. That helps you plan cash timing, but it does not guarantee final freight, duty, or tax advice.
Separate each cost line before you compare quotes.
Check which parts are firm and which are only estimates.
Match payment timing to production, shipping, and clearance.
| Cost line | Use this when | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Product cost | You need the base value for the JTLGO fee and the order itself. | Unit price, MOQ, and whether packaging is included. |
| China domestic freight | The supplier is not shipping free to the export point. | Pickup city, pallet needs, and handoff point. |
| QC and packing | You want inspection and export-safe packing as separate lines. | Inspection scope, rework risk, carton strength, and packing materials. |
| International freight | You need the move from China to the destination lane. | Mode, chargeable weight, fuel, and route assumptions. |
| Duty, tax, and contingency | You need a planning buffer before money moves. | Estimate range, clearance timing, and reserve for surprise fees. |
Suppose your product cost is USD 420, China domestic freight is USD 28, QC is USD 35, packing is USD 18, international freight is USD 120, duty/tax is USD 44, contingency is USD 30, and the JTLGO fee is USD 10. Your planning total is USD 705. If the product value rises to USD 820, the JTLGO fee becomes USD 24.60. That is a budget model, not a promise that freight or tax will land at that exact number.
JTLGO can help you model cost, but it does not promise final freight, customs duty, or tax treatment.
The fee rule is based on product value only; shipping does not change the JTLGO fee.
A quote is planning input, not a landed-cost guarantee.
Cash timing depends on supplier terms, transfer timing, and clearance timing.
Use product cost, China domestic freight, QC, packing, international freight, duty/tax, contingency, and the JTLGO fee.
It is USD 10 up to USD 500 of product value, then 3% above USD 500.
Yes. Separate packing shows where the budget can move if carton strength, inserts, or labels change.
No. Use estimates or ranges and confirm the final treatment with the carrier, broker, or local authority.
