What's the cost of Shipping from China to U.K?

[Zuhayb Raja]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie in this industry, and I was hoping if anyone can help and advise me.

I am looking to buy 40 pieces of certain car modifications gauges from China. Can anyone tell me the exact costs of shipping, and whether or not I will need to pay any taxes? This will be on going, meaning I will be importing car based modifications parts from China.

you'll need size and weight data. Your supplier for this kind of quantity can probably give you the exact price, and arrange it for you. You will probably pay 3.5% duty and 20% VAT on the declared price. (I used car parts - suspension items for the rate) on this calculator http://www.dutycalculator.com/popular-import-items/import-duty-and-taxes-for-car-parts/

The declared price will probably be less than you actually pay.

Thanks for the advice, I have contacted the supplier so waiting for a response. I will ask the dimensions and size of the box they will come in.

If I ask further advice then I will post it on this thread.

Hi Zuhayb,

Not problem, soon as you have the above, I can give you a rough price on the whole import cost for you.

Hi Philip,

I just wanted a rough estimate of the costs. I have contacted the supplier via email, once I receive a response then I will specifically ask for the dimensions and weight. The goods in total are 40 pieces.

China is a big place..........................What's the departure city?

What's the destination city?

Both important factors which seem to have been overlooked.

Departure City Zhejiang, China

Destination City is Bristol, U.K
