SIMPLE, BUYER-SIDE PRICING
Know what you pay—and what it covers.
The original supplier or disclosed export entity quotation remains visible, and TruNexo charges separately for defined sourcing work. Public prices are launch-stage guides in US dollars; the written scope and quotation govern each project.
START SMALL
Confirm the fit before committing
Every project begins with a free fit check. Paid work starts only after the product brief and deliverables are agreed in writing.
Supplier research
US$100per confirmed product brief
A defined search—not an open-ended promise. The fee is fully credited toward managed sourcing when the same confirmed product brief places an order within 60 calendar days after delivery of the research report.
- One SKU or closely related product family
- Up to three candidates matched to the written brief
- MOQ, quote, lead-time and basic background comparison
- One clarification round and one replacement under the rule below
MANAGED SOURCING
Progressive fees that scale with the order
Each rate applies only to the portion of net goods value shown on the approved original supplier or disclosed export entity quotation inside that band. Freight, duties, tax, testing, certification, tooling, samples, travel and other third-party costs are excluded. The minimum managed sourcing fee is US$150 per order.
Order-value portionRate
First US$3,0008%
US$3,001–US$20,000 portion5%
Amount above US$20,0003%
Example: a US$25,000 order is US$240 + US$850 + US$150 = US$1,240. It is not 3% of the entire order.

This is an estimate, not a binding quote. The percentage base is the net goods value shown on the approved original supplier or disclosed export entity quotation; freight, duties, tax, testing, certification, tooling, samples, travel and other third-party costs are excluded. The US$100 credit applies to the same confirmed product brief when an order is placed within 60 calendar days after delivery of the supplier research report.
COMMERCIAL & CUSTOMS RULES
The written scope settles the details before payment
A public price cannot describe every supplier, destination or field assignment. The project quotation records the operating and payment rules that apply.
THE SCOPE CONFIRMS
- The service-fee payment timing and any deposit or milestone
- Who bears transfer fees and any applicable service taxes
- Whether multiple suppliers, purchase orders or locations are one scope or separate scopes
- Approved travel, third-party and special-handling costs
- Cancellation, rescheduling, corrective follow-up and reinspection charges
CUSTOMS RESPONSIBILITY
- The supplier or disclosed export entity handles China export declaration directly if qualified, or through an appropriately registered customs broker; a freight forwarder may coordinate that process
- The buyer or importer normally handles destination clearance, permits, duties and taxes unless the goods contract expressly assigns them differently under an agreed Incoterms® rule
- TruNexo coordinates and cross-checks agreed documents but is not the exporter, importer or customs broker
- Final HS classification, legal advice and customs clearance are not guaranteed by TruNexo

Sample consolidation
Indicative from US$50 per accepted batch + actual costs
A batch is quoted only after the supplier count, expected packages, approximate dimensions and weight, holding period and dispatch method are agreed. Supplier charges, China delivery, outbound freight, customs-broker charges, duties, taxes and special handling are additional buyer or third-party costs; unapproved or restricted items may be refused.
LAUNCH CLIENT OFFER
Lower first-project risk—not lower standards
The first ten qualified B2B projects can join TruNexo's launch offer. Qualification requires a lawful product, a complete brief, realistic budget and timeline, and agreement to the written scope.
01
Creditable research
The US$100 research fee is credited when the same confirmed product brief places an order within 60 calendar days after delivery of the research report.
02
Written-output refund
If TruNexo, for reasons within its control, delivers none of the agreed written research output, the research fee is refunded. No automatic refund applies when the buyer changes the brief, rejects candidates that meet it, or the market cannot meet unrealistic requirements.
03
Rate stability
The agreed commission schedule is held for the first three similar-scope orders placed within six months.
The launch offer is limited to the first 10 qualified projects and remains subject to capacity. Any rate already confirmed in a signed scope remains unchanged for that project. The offer does not guarantee that a supplier will be selected, that an order will be profitable or that every manufacturing risk can be eliminated. Feedback or case-study permission is always optional.
