The following is the tariff threshold that Shanghai Topward International Logistics knows about the market. It is for reference only.
1, United States: 800USD
Note: The declared value of regular products is within 800USD, which is generally tax-free. However, it does not mean that all products priced below 800 USD will not incur tariffs. Therefore, special products and high-value products should be checked in advance. If there is no third party to clear customs on your behalf, tariffs need to be prepaid. Prevent unnecessary losses. If the goods are going to a third-party overseas warehouse and the third-party refuses to pay the customs duties, the express company will directly ask the consignor to collect them. The shipper has long-term business dealings with the express delivery company. As long as the tariff is reasonable and correct, he must pay the tariff. Otherwise, he will face prosecution by the express delivery company, fines for delayed payment, etc.
U.S. tariffs include: duty import duties , +tax, tax includes HMF and MPF

will also be levied. Generally, foreign customs brokers will charge a handling fee of 2-5% for paying duties on their behalf, and there will be penalties for late payment of taxes. If the express goods are not cleared in time, high warehouse rent will be incurred. Generally, the express delivery company will recover the taxes and warehouse rent together. Maritime goods must pay customs duties within 10 days after the goods are released, and the customs will deduct them directly from the payment account.
The United States has a ten-year retroactive period for customs declarations that conceal, misreport, omit, or deliberately avoid tax. Therefore, customers should pay attention. Even if you now cooperate with some companies that only make short-term profits, you can avoid paying a lot of tariffs. , but the US Customs is not a fool. It is possible that the ancestral graves of this customs brokerage company will be dug up in the future. Therefore, this is also a reminder to some tax-guaranteed freight forwarding colleagues in the market to abide by the law and develop in the long term.
2, EU
Peers in the market believe that the tariff threshold for the EU and the UK is 22-25GBP, EURO. However, in actual business, the customs determines that all COMMERCIAL goods are subject to DUTY and VAT, unless it is determined that the goods are small samplesSAMPLE without any commercial value.
The composition of European tariffs is DUTY+VAT
DUTY is the tax rate specified by the customs for the product H.S CODE * CIF value of goods
VAT = VAT tax rate * (CIF value of goods + import tariff + destination port/airport miscellaneous charges)
3. Canada: Canada Taxes=duty+GST (GOODS SERVICE TAX)
There is no threshold for normal import customs declaration. In terms of express delivery, usually items under 20 Canadian dollars can be treated as gifts/samples, etc., and there is no commercial value declaration. Note that what is mentioned here is that when the gift SAMPLE is reported, the tax in Canada is duty+GST. Duty is the import tax rate specified by Canadian Customs based on the H.S CODE of the goods *CIF value.GST is 5% of the CIF value.
PS , all shipments sent to Canada are transited through the United States, so FBA goods sent here should try not to involve infringement and insufficient certification. The United States has the right to seize and destroy infringing imitation goods that are in transit
4. Japan: Japan’s taxes and fees = duty+VAT
Japan’s import tariff threshold is USD130, which is limited to express goods with no commercial value. Seaborne goods are There are taxes. The tariff is based on the tax rate specified by H.S CODE *CIF VALUE
VAT=(CIF VALUE+DUTY)*8%
Japanese customs is very strict in product declaration. Like China Customs, all products must declare material, specification, use, brand, etc. for you has unexpected reporting elements for .
5. Australia: Australian import tax composition = import duty+GST
Customs is exempt from import tariffs and GST for products with no commercial value below 1,000 AUD.
Tariff = product import tax rate*invoice value
GST= (CIF VALUE+destination port miscellaneous charges+tariff) *10%
High-value products imported into Australia are generally duty free, such as computers and mobile phones. Phone, panal, etc.
The tariff on shoes, hats and clothing is about 5%
. Countries that do not use USD as the main circulation currency will convert the invoice value into the local currency when importing and tax duties. So there will be a problem of exchange rate difference. In addition, low-declared goods will be levied high punitive tariffs or delayed in release, resulting in warehouse rent. These express companies will ask the owner to pay the bill.
The last thing to say is that all e-commerce goods used in overseas warehouses must be borne by the seller. As for the taxes and fees of the importing country, this task requires the cooperation of the customer's freight forwarder. A conscientious freight forwarder will advance customs duties to customers in advance and then reimburse them with the tax receipt. The credit environment in European and American countries means that local freight companies do not worry about no one paying the tariffs (as long as they are reasonable), so even if you are far away in China, you still have to pay the tariffs when the goods arrive overseas. There is no escape at any time.
