For cost control, import-expertise organizations choose FOB (Free on Board) or EXW (Ex Works) so they do all the customs and duties handling in-house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mars-pro\" data-o=\"Cost Breakdown and Total Cost of Ownership \">Cost Breakdown and Total Cost of Ownership <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mars-pro\" data-o=\"Manufacturing and Materials Costs \">Manufacturing and Materials Costs <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mars-pro\" data-o=\"There are multiple cost elements that contribute to per-unit cost of a throttle position sensor (TPS).
