I've done this once because the client had duty free concessions, he had to have the manufacturer's invoices. I quoted him Cost plus 20 for the materials plus a labour fee and a management fee. He took the quote and I never heard from him again, guess he tried to buy the goods at the same cost. One way around this is to explain that you have confidential pricing and giving that to them would break that agreement. On the other hand, I work with a large company that handled the shipping and brokerage, so they had to get my supplier invoices. But, and this may work for you, I first signed a Per-Watt contract with them, so what they seen afterwards didn't make any difference. You can always edit the invoices to make them higher.
