What products cost to make in China
Factory price bands from public listings retrieved 2026-10-30, and what the same classes sell for at US retail, retrieved 2026-11-01. Every figure is a published price on a linked listing.
One page per product class. Each page lists the factory listings behind the band, the retail listings behind the multiple, and the date each set was retrieved, so you can re-check any figure. The bands are published asking prices, not estimates: a listing’s price is taken as the midpoint of its published band at that listing’s own minimum order quantity.

A band answers one question: is this number inside the range the market publishes, or outside it. It does not answer whether the product is good, whether the supplier is reliable, or whether the specification matches what you asked for. If you only have a number and no listing behind it, the price checker places it against the band for its class in one screen, with no signup and nothing sent anywhere.
