Customs and VAT for China
China is outside the EU with a complex customs regime. The recipient pays VAT (13% standard rate), customs duty (0–100% depending on category), and in some cases consumption tax. The Chinese CBEC (Cross-Border E-Commerce) system has specific thresholds — for direct postal shipments, standard import rules apply where the value and type of goods determine the duty rate. Commercial shipments require a licensed Chinese importer. Exact limits vary by CBEC channel — verify current rules with the Chinese customs authority. Postal tracking typically ends in Beijing; last-mile delivery is handled by China Post or SF Express.
