CKD assembly saves you money on tariffs and freight — but those savings only become profit if you price your finished stoves correctly. Underpricing eats your margin; overpricing stalls sales. Here is a practical framework for pricing locally assembled gas stoves.
Your true cost per stove is not just the kit price. Add freight, import duty (now lower because you import parts), port and clearance fees, and any financing cost. Many CKD operators underprice because they forget the duties and clearance line items that still apply to parts. Build a complete landed-cost worksheet before setting any price.
Assembly has real cost: labor per stove, factory rent and utilities, equipment amortization, testing consumables, and a defect-and-rework allowance. Divide your monthly overhead by realistic output to get a per-unit figure. A common mistake is pricing on direct labor alone while ignoring overhead.
Your stove is not an import — it is locally made. That carries real value: warranty and service you can actually honor, "locally manufactured" branding, and government goodwill. Price a premium for that position rather than simply undercutting imported stoves.
Target a gross margin that covers your operating costs and leaves room to reinvest in equipment and scale. Revisit pricing quarterly as volume and costs change. THREEMI supplies CKD kits with factory-direct pricing and helps you model assembly costs and equipment investment, so you can build a pricing structure that stays profitable as your operation grows.
