Hello,

I would like to start importing PC tablets from china in small quantities and have no idea about the import fees or legal papers etc?

I was just wondering if someone could make me a checklist of what I need and how I would do it (thats if its not obvious)

It would help alot, thanks.
 
When I say small quantities I mean small quantities and could be as little as 3 tablets working out just under 300 GBP, I've found chinese companies offering these types of quantities though..

For example we will say its DHL..

now it all is dependant on how they mark the products.

Yes I understand the buying of the products but I am unsure about when the products arrive at England.. and the fees involved for importing. Can anyone help me understand the importation of the tablets?

For example,
If they mark the products at true value i.e £300 you would be charged roughly

£9.95 Admin Fee
20% V.A.T - £60
15% Duty - £45

So you would be looking around an addition £100

However if they mark the items at 50$ each, then your total value would come in at £96 therefore

V.A.T & duty on £96 = £30 + Admin fee

Right I understand more now and does that Duty change on different things or does it stay the same with everything? and also how is this feed paid and who too? (all the fees above)

I think online business trading websites helps you. Websites like alibaba.com & tradekey.com helps you to find out proper procedure of importing from china.

Why would you suggest a PC and accessories as well? When a company clearly mentions MOQ is 1, then handling 3 pcs should not be a great task.

MOQ is 1? if so, then I suppose they are not manufacture at all, are they?

i dont know if you are import and then retail, if yes, i think accessories is much for profitable. that's why i mentioned accessories.

I haven't imported my own tablet from China yet, but I understand that there's a real danger of some items being seized by customs due to trademark and patent disputes by Western brands, particularly the likes of Apple.

Hi,

Why Import Directly if Small Quantities?

I have been involved in a few electronics' businesses (acer/sony) if you're looking at small qts, is it not better to get one of the vanilla produced products from someone already doing the hard bit in bulk sea shipping?

Have you looked at gemini devices?

cheers

We manufacture and import from China.

Duty (if applicable) and VAT are payable on entry to the UK, to your shipping company (if they are clearing the goods through customs.)

Buying a quantity of three may seriously not be worth it as the economies of scale for shipping can often make small runs prohibitive.

You will also be paying cash up front to China for your goods so you will need to look at transit insurance.
