Import from China to UK

[Mary K]

It's the first time I will import anything from China, I would like to know how much would be the container shipping and the vat and if it changes depending on what I will be shipping, and any websites I could get the quotes from?
Any other relevant information is also helpful.

Thank you in advance

Hello Mary, For the shipment cost, you should consult the forwarder. For the VAT, it is decide by what you buy.

To get quote shipping from China to UK, you should offer information such as what kind of goods you are import from China, goods weight and volume, then it is easier to get quote. As for the VAT, there has one formula for you as a reference. VAT= (declare value+shipping fee+ tax duty)*20%.

It depends from your forwarder and value added tax
