What moves the price
| Cost driver | Effect on landed cost |
|---|---|
| Brand vs generic | Quality generic Azithromycin typically lands far below the Zithromax originator. |
| Pack size | Larger packs cut per-unit primary packaging and handling cost. |
| Order volume | Tiers begin at 100 units per SKU and improve with consolidation. |
| Incoterm | EXW, FOB, CIF and DAP shift freight, insurance and duty between parties. |
| Cold chain | Ambient shipping keeps packing cost low. |
| Documentation | Regulator-ready paperwork avoids costly clearance delays. |
Key takeaways
- Compare landed cost, not unit price: freight and duty change the ranking.
- Consolidating multiple SKUs into one consignment lowers cost per unit.
- Azithromycin is quoted in USD, GBP or AUD on request.
- Quotations include lead time and documentation scope.
