Short answer: BOM kitting is normally not charged per line as a service fee. Instead every line is quoted with a tax-inclusive unit price, lead time and minimum order quantity, and the sourcing service is usually already included in that price. Kewei Technology works this way — send your BOM and you get a formal quotation within 24 hours, even if we hold no stock for most of it.
There are three common pricing models in the market. First, a single quotation covering the whole BOM (the most common). Second, a buying-agent model where the supplier adds a service percentage on top of the goods value — always ask whether service, freight and customs are charged separately. Third, a long-term supply agreement with quarterly or monthly settlement and prices fixed for a period.
A usable quotation states clearly: in stock or backorder with expected weeks, date code, MOQ and packaging (full reel, cut tape or loose), tax-inclusive price with quantity breaks, and any pin-compatible alternative with its parameter differences.
Sourcing a whole BOM without stock comes down to three capabilities: pulling parts together from the spot market, proposing workable alternatives for short-supply lines, and checking what arrives — marking, packaging, date code, and third-party testing for critical parts on request.

Kewei's take: what this means for procurement
News like this has limited short-term price impact but does shape the medium-term supply landscape. Review it alongside your quarterly purchasing analysis.
