Project judgments and procurement conclusions

Comparisons between different MOQs cannot only be based on factory prices. Small orders can lead to line replacement, packaging and packaging costs; large orders can also waste cabinets if the rolling diameter, single roll weight and mix order are unreasonable. It is recommended to compare the cost of landing on the coast of an effective area with coal and to list tariffs, destinations and local transportation, avoiding direct cross-comparisons between different offers of trading terms.
