Specification that changes the comparison
- Alloy, temper, dimensional tolerance, and controlled drawing revision
- Die cost, ownership, maintenance, and minimum extrusion quantity
- Powder coat, anodizing, wood effect, colour tolerance, and certificates
- Bar length, bundle/crate dimensions, weight, and loading plan
- Sample, tooling, production, and replenishment lead time
Route logic into Romania
| Origin | Planning strength | Questions to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Turkey | Road and short-sea options can shorten replenishment and simplify smaller repeat orders. | Named delivery point, truck/equipment fit, border/customs process, tooling and finish evidence. |
| China | Supplier depth and scale may improve factory pricing for stable, higher-volume profiles. | Container utilization, long-length approval, ocean/destination costs, inventory cycle, and claims execution. |
Romania cost model
Compare both origins to the same Romanian delivery address. Keep the current duty, import VAT, origin evidence, customs valuation, broker, and local-delivery assumptions visible and source-dated. Do not copy a generic rate from another EU destination.
Decision gate
Request an identical RFQ and packing-data set from every candidate. Then compare in the cost estimator or request a source-backed supplier report.
Primary sources
Official sources used to frame the guidance. Check the current product and transaction before acting.
Make the next decision explicit
Compare your real specification and destination
Use a transparent cost model, or request a source-backed supplier and route comparison for one construction product.
