A low unit price on an industrial component means very little if your total cost of ownership is bloated by hidden logistics risks. As a procurement leader, you know the true number is never just the sticker price.
The pain point we see most often in Canadian manufacturing is the unpredictable drain from international shipping and customs. This isn't just about freight bills; it’s about Total Procurement Spend (TPS).
Where International Logistics Hides Your Profit
When sourcing overseas, the following costs often get overlooked until the invoice arrives:
- Customs Brokerage Fees: Administration costs for every border crossing.
- Tariffs and Duties: These fluctuate based on trade agreements and can change without notice, eroding your margin.
- Expedited Freight Fees: The cost of panic-shipping components when a vessel is delayed—the highest cost of all.
- Inventory Carrying Costs: Holding excess buffer stock "just in case" that ties up capital.
