How Do Businesses Handle Unexpected Trade Costs?

    I recently started thinking about how unexpected costs can affect a B2B order. A deal may seem profitable at first, but shipping, customs, packaging, currency changes, or other charges can change the final cost. I’m curious how businesses using B2B Trade Services plan for these situations. Do you calculate all possible costs before agreeing to a deal? What methods help you avoid surprises? I’d appreciate honest experiences and practical suggestions from anyone who has faced this issue.
