Those pesky TAXES!
October 8th, 2006It seems that one of the most misunderstood facets of importing from China is the question of Taxes !
It’s certainly the most common question we get asked…
For the Record : We don’t add Taxes, VAT, GST or other charges. Your order is for the cost of the goods and shipping.
In most countries in the world you have to pay taxes on imported goods, and that’s the care and concern of you, our customer, NOT US !
That said, we will help our customers in any way we can that is legal. If you have information which will minimize or eliminate the taxes you have to pay regarding the labelling or declaration on your goods, please just advise at ordering time.
But… please keep in mind, that if your instructions are for a reduction in declared value, then that instruction will ALSO be your maximum insured value, should the goods become lost or damaged.
Consult your country’s government web site, and in the likely event of finding a mass of confusing information, don’t be backward in getting on the phone to the appropriate department and grill them. Then try and get the results in writing, whether mailed or by email. (This will work in some countries, believe it or not, others you may have to visit the particular department in person)
