handelspriset

Handelspriset, literally "trade price" in Swedish, is a term used in commerce to denote the price at which goods are bought and sold between businesses. It is typically the base or net price quoted in business-to-business (B2B) transactions and is usually exclusive of value-added tax (VAT). Depending on the contract, it may also exclude or include shipping, insurance, and other charges.

As a starting point in negotiations, handelspriset is influenced by factors such as order quantity, customer status, delivery terms, payment terms, currency, and current market conditions. Volume discounts, long-term agreements, and promotional offers can adjust the handelspris for a given customer or order.

Handelspriset is distinct from consumer prices and from retail list prices aimed at end consumers. In most cases it is used in procurement, wholesale, and business-to-business pricing and may be confidential between trading partners. It is common to see it specified in price lists, quotes, or contracts and then further itemized with any applicable taxes and transportation costs, depending on the agreed terms.

In Swedish and Scandinavian contexts, handelspriset remains a standard concept in wholesale trade, serving as the negotiable price basis for transactions between manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. See also net price, quotation, price list, and invoice.
