Shipping policy

The European Union has strict regulations on customs duties and value-added tax (VAT) on imported goods, requiring all imported goods to go through a customs declaration when entering the EU market, and to pay the corresponding duties and VAT according to the category and value of the goods.

Tariff: The duty rate of a product depends on its HS Code and the origin of the product. For goods imported from non-EU countries, such as China, import duties are usually payable. The calculation of the tariff rate is based on the declared value of the goods.

Value Added Tax (VAT): The European Union requires most imported goods to pay VAT, which is usually 20%. Different VAT rates may apply to certain product categories, depending on the type of goods and the country of import.

Duty-free limits: For low-value goods (usually less than €150), the EU offers a certain amount of exemption from customs duties, but VAT still applies.

Key takeaways:

All imported goods must pay customs duties and VAT, unless they qualify for exemption.

Taxes on products are calculated based on the category of goods and the declared value.
