A Mexican buyer comparing Tepito, San Juan de Dios or a Chinese factory needs the cost of an equivalent, usable order at the chosen destination. A low overseas unit price is only one input. This guide provides a comparison structure, not a current Mexican tax calculation, local market price survey or promised saving.

Match the offer before comparing the price

Record the exact bra construction, size range, color split and packaging in both offers. Check whether the products are actually available and whether the quoted price applies to the same quantity. A dozen locally available units and a larger import are not equivalent cash commitments. Avoid assuming that local stock is unbranded, counterfeit or incapable of customization.

Complete the landed-cost input sheet

Obtain the full destination classification and applicable import procedure from a qualified customs professional. Do not reuse a percentage or value threshold from a generic article. Record each amount with its currency, quotation date and included services so exchange-rate or fee changes can be traced.

Compare delivered units and cash exposure

For a planning comparison, divide the consistently defined shipment cost by the units the order is expected to make available for sale, showing any quality-loss assumption explicitly. Do not assume an industry defect allowance. Distinguish gross profit from contribution after marketplace, delivery, advertising and return costs; neither is automatically final business profit.

Choose for the order you actually need

An urgent small replenishment and a planned own-brand range can justify different sourcing decisions. At LXSC, existing catalog styles have a minimum of 100 pieces per model; color and size splits and availability are confirmed for quotation. Original new designs start from 10,000 pieces. Branding or packaging feasibility and charges must be agreed separately before comparing the final offers.
