When it comes to the customs clearance of goods from China, and in particular the payment of value added tax (VAT) and customs duty, the procedure for Chinese goods is not very different from any other. What you need to bear in mind is that each type of goods has its own tariff code, which can be used to check what percentage duty it will be subject to on import. As for VAT, the tax rate is fixed at 20%. It is important to note that VAT is charged on the total aggregate value of the goods (this includes the invoice value of the goods + transport costs + insurance) and the duty already charged on it.
