Your Supplier Raised Prices. Should You?
Your next order costs more. Raising your selling price seems obvious—but first check what changed and what customers are choosing.
Recalculate the cost of one sale, including materials or stock, inbound freight, applicable import charges, packaging and selling fees. Spread shipment-level costs across the items they relate to.
For imports, confirm product classification, country of origin, customs value and applicable charges for the shipment. A supplier’s shipping country alone does not establish the duty.
Compare three options: keep your price, raise it, or change the offer. What remains per sale? How many sales would cover your ongoing costs and income goal?
Test customer response with a small batch. A calculator can show the price your business needs; it cannot tell you what buyers will pay.
Explore quantities, packaging, suppliers or product mix before committing to a rebrand. Higher prices need a reason customers value.
Our free Product Pricing & Batch Planner helps recalculate one product’s costs. Enter applicable costs yourself; it does not determine tariffs or predict demand.
