Supplier quotation comparison
Worked example · fictional data

100 pieces of the same 24 cm matte-white stoneware vase. CNY. EXW Guangzhou. Product and protective packing only.
What this tells you
B is CNY 100 lower than A for this quoted scope. C cannot be compared yet because its packing cost is missing.
Not landed cost. Freight, duties, taxes and other unquoted costs are excluded. Price alone does not approve a supplier.
