Your supplier's invoice is not your cost. Know the real number before you order.
The 2026 China Sourcing Survival Guide is the seller-written playbook for pricing around the new tariffs — landed-cost math, supplier renegotiation scripts, and the refund filings most importers don't know they're owed.
The $10 product that costs $16.67
| FOB price | $10.00 |

| True cost per sellable unit | $16.67 |
If you're still pricing off the invoice, this gap is your missing margin. The free calculator does this for every SKU you own.

Sellers doing $0–$500k/yr who import — Amazon FBA, Shopify, Etsy, resellers, and anyone about to place their first bulk order.
