• Budget tier: Low unit cost, but expect minimal documentation. You'll spend more time verifying compliance yourself.
• Mid tier: Moderate cost, but you get a compliance pack with the order—PMTA status, testing, and a contact person.
• Premium tier: Higher cost, but the supplier does the vetting for you, providing a compliance dashboard and ongoing updates.

Your budget shouldn't just cover the product. Factor in the hours you'll spend on due diligence. Sometimes paying more upfront saves you a headache later.
