Import duties China
China is an attractive country to import products and goods from. The production costs are low and the various transport possibilities and routes are excellent. If you import products and goods into China, you will have to deal with import duties, VAT and customs clearance charges from China.
It is important that you have the right documents, do not pay too much for the import duties and do business with a reliable Chinese supplier or manufacturer. Your product must comply with European and national requirements and regulations and be safe and usable. As an importer you are responsible for this.

Import tax China
If you import products and goods from a non-EU country like China, you will have to pay VAT. The VAT is calculated on the price of the goods, the shipping costs, any insurance costs and import duties.
As of July 1, there are new VAT rules. Previously, VAT was charged on an entire shipment above a certain amount, but now VAT is charged on all shipments from China to the Netherlands.
You pay VAT at customs with the so-called import declaration. If you are entitled to a VAT deduction, then you deduct the import tax in your VAT declaration form. You can do this by applying for an article 23 permit at your tax office. The processing of the application takes approximately 5 to 6 weeks. This permit can be seen as an exemption: you do not pay VAT at customs. You do have to mention the VAT in your VAT return. Article 23 is not necessary for the import of bulk goods from china, but it does have a positive effect on your casfhlow.
In addition to import duties and VAT, you will have to pay customs clearance costs. These are the costs the carrier incurs to deliver your shipment to your desired destination. The clearance costs differ per transport option and carrier.
Thanks to our up-to-date knowledge of possible import duties, VAT rules and customs clearance, we can help you prepare the right documents, deal with Dutch customs and other administrative tasks.

In addition to import duties, you will have to pay Dutch VAT on the products and services you import from China. If you import on a regular basis and are entitled to a VAT deduction, we advise you to apply for a permit under Article 23 from the Dutch Tax Administration (Belastingdienst). With this permit you will receive VAT exemption on your imported products and services.
