Useful for
Common use cases
- Shortlisting comparable supplier bids

Model notes
Assumptions and limitations
Assumptions
- Duty is calculated as a percentage of normalized goods value.
- Freight and other charges are already in the comparison currency.
- Other charges are applied once per quote.
Limitations
- No exchange-rate, tax, Incoterm, or tariff data is looked up.
- The lowest total is not necessarily the best supplier.
- Quoted lead time is displayed but not monetized.
Questions
Frequently asked
Does this fetch live exchange or duty rates?
No. Every charge and rate is entered by you, so the evidence remains visible and auditable.
How is the recommendation chosen?
It is the row with the lowest calculated total cost. Lead time and supplier risk still require judgment.
