CUSTOMS & IMPORT

Customs clearance from China to Germany

Customs clearance is part of transport planning, not a final formality. The goods description, tariff classification, customs value, origin and importer must be clarified before arrival.

01

The importer remains central

The Incoterm and contractual structure must establish who acts as importer, which EORI is used and who bears duties and import VAT. Not every arrangement is suitable for every product.

02

Documents for clearance

Typical documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, tariff code and, where needed, origin or product evidence. The exact requirements depend on the goods.

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Bill of lading or air waybill
  • EORI, HS code and product information

03

Classification is product-specific

General guidance does not replace binding classification. Duty rates and tax treatment must be determined from the actual product and applicable rules.

PRICING & PROCESS

Customs and document charges

Service-provider fees, official charges and import duties are three different cost types. Customs duty and import VAT are never silently included in a service flat rate.
