A closer look at Carry China Price Check

A free browser calculator for comparing a purchase in China with the same item at home, using the prices, exchange rate, fees, refund, and extra costs you enter.

The shelf price is only the start

A purchase abroad can look cheaper until card fees and the trip home enter the calculation. Carry China Price Check puts those costs in one small browser form. Enter the Chinese price in CNY and the price at home, then add the exchange rate and any extra costs in your home currency.

The page is open without an account. It compares the cost of buying the same item in two places. It does not find products, arrange a purchase, or handle a refund.

Bring your own figures

The form has separate inputs for an expected net refund and a card or currency fee. Duty, baggage, and other costs go in a further field. The page explains that its estimate applies the card fee to the full purchase, then subtracts the expected refund using the same exchange rate.

There is no live-rate feed or automatic customs estimate. The refund field starts at zero, and the page tells readers to leave it there unless eligibility is confirmed. Different conversion rates or refund timing can change what someone ultimately pays.

Compare the same purchase

The accompanying checklist asks readers to match the model, specification, and regional version. It also raises warranty coverage and returns, which a cheaper price alone cannot settle.

That makes this a useful place to assemble a rough comparison before buying. The estimate depends on the inputs. Travel costs are excluded unless added to the extra-cost field, and a calculated saving does not resolve product compatibility or refund eligibility.
