How much cheaper is overseas cosmetic manufacturing compared to domestic?

Factory unit prices overseas can be 60–80% lower than domestic rates, but landed cost—including ocean freight, customs duties, third-party QC inspection, and longer sample cycles—narrows that gap significantly. For runs under 5,000 units, total cost difference is often under 20% once all fees are counted. Use the AJ Cosmo Labs app to collect competing quotes and calculate true landed cost.
