Short answer
Key takeaways
- Freight is cheapest per unit in FCL
- Many surgical items attract low or zero duty
- Ask for CIF pricing to compare like-for-like
- Annual contracts stabilise price
The five cost components
- Product price (EXW/FOB India)
- Freight to Tanjung Priok
- Marine insurance (≈0.3–0.5%)
- Import duty and VAT/GST where applicable
- Clearance, port charges and inland delivery
How to lower landed cost
Consolidate categories into one container, order on a quarterly schedule and buy CIF so freight is negotiated at volume.
India vs other origins
Compared with Europe, Indian products are typically far cheaper for equivalent certified quality; compared with other Asian origins, India offers stronger instrument craftsmanship and English-language documentation suited to the Kemenkes (Ministry of Health).

Costs buyers often forget to ask about
- Demurrage if customs clearance is delayed at Tanjung Priok
- Local currency conversion spread on international payments
- Inland transport from Tanjung Priok to the final warehouse
- Bank charges on L/C or wire transfers
Comparing two quotes fairly
Always compare CIF-to-CIF or FOB-to-FOB, never a CIF quote against an FOB quote. Ask both suppliers for the same Incoterm, the same packaging standard and the same certification set before comparing numbers.
