Price Breakdown by Carpet Type
Standard Geometric / Floral Prints
If you're ordering printed carpets with a design from the factory's existing catalog (geometric, Moroccan, diamond, floral, boho patterns), FOB Tianjin prices start at approximately $2.80 – $3.50 per square meter.
These are the most popular products for North American buyers because:
- Factory has ready-made production molds and color plates
- No setup fees or tooling costs
- Fastest production time (25-30 days)
- Lowest per-unit price
Custom Artwork / Your Own Design
If you want a print design that's unique to your brand, the factory needs to create new printing cylinders or screens. This adds:
- Tooling setup fee: $200-500 one-time
- Per-sqm price: $4.00 – $6.50 depending on complexity
- MOQ: Usually 200-500 pieces per design
- Sample lead time: 2-3 weeks before bulk production
Custom Logo and Branding
For retailers and Amazon sellers who need their own brand on the carpets:
- Hang tags: Factory can produce custom hang tags with your logo — add $0.05-0.15/piece
- Custom packaging boxes: $0.20-0.80/piece depending on box size
- Woven labels: $0.03-0.08/piece
- Custom backing: Some factories offer custom carpet backing with your logo woven in — prices on request
OEKO-TEX certificates are available for branded orders — typically included at no extra charge from reputable factories.
How to Calculate Total Landed Cost to Canada
FOB Tianjin is only the product cost. Here's how to calculate what you'll actually pay delivered to your warehouse in Canada:
| Cost Component | Estimated Cost (per sqm) |
|---|---|
| FOB Tianjin (standard print) | $3.00 |
| Sea freight Tianjin → Vancouver | $0.40 – $0.60 |
| Port handling & documentation | $0.05 – $0.10 |
| Canadian customs duties (~8% for carpets) | $0.25 – $0.30 |
| GST/HST (Canadian tax) | $0.39 – $0.45 |
| Final delivery to your door (optional) | $0.15 – $0.25 |
| Estimated total CIF your city | $4.25 – $4.70 |
Compare this to buying through a traditional importer at $6.00-7.50/sqm — that's where the 25-35% savings comes from.
Minimum Order Quantities
The minimum order quantity for printed carpets from Tianjin factories depends on whether you're using existing designs or custom designs:
- Factory catalog designs: 50-100 pieces per design (most factories flexible on first order)
- Custom artwork: 200-500 pieces per design
- Sample orders: 1-5 pieces available — typically 2-3x the wholesale price but deductible from bulk orders
Tip: If you're unsure about a product, order 1-2 samples first. At $8-15/sqm for samples, it's a small investment before committing to 100+ pieces.
