Generally speaking, you can expect tooling for production runs in China to cost 1/3 to 1/2 as much as in the US or Europe.  Expect savings in the 25% - 40% range on tooling built for production runs in N. America or the EU. Generally, the more expensive the tooling back home, the greater the savings that can be expected in China.

During the Request for Quotation (RFQ) phase, it is essential to pay close attention to the tooling costs in addition to the unit price. It is not uncommon for “tooling hustlers” to give a great unit price to get your business, only to find out later that the tooling cost has been inflated. Proper research will identify not only the best unit price at a national level, but also what is the going rate on the required tooling.
