We calculate duties
your company
Clearance in your name
Customs clearance is where an import either becomes predictable or turns into a surprise. We classify the goods, calculate duties before the cargo leaves China, prepare the documents and file the declaration — in your company name, so VAT is creditable and the goods are officially yours.
What we do
- Classification and HS code determination
- Advance calculation of duties and VAT, so the landed cost is known before shipping
- Contract, invoice, packing list and supporting documents
- Filing the declaration and dealing with the customs authority
- Certificates and permits where the goods require them
Three sources of overpayment
| Source | What happens | Cost |
|---|
| Wrong HS code | goods classified against the wrong characteristics | a different duty rate, sometimes several times higher |
| Inflated customs value | extra costs included, or customs adjusts the price | duty and VAT calculated on a larger base |
| Standing time | cargo waits because the document set is incomplete | storage, demurrage, missed selling season |
Legal ways to reduce payments
- Correct classification with an advance ruling — an official document fixing the code in advance, so customs cannot reclassify at will
- Origin preferences — reduced or zero rates for certain goods when origin is certified. The certificate must be requested from the supplier before shipping
- Contract structure — customs value includes everything that happened to the cargo before the border. How goods and logistics are split in the invoice changes the base
- The right customs procedure — temporary admission, inward processing or a customs warehouse, where they apply
Chinese export VAT refund
On contract shipments the Chinese supplier can reclaim up to 13% of the goods value as an export VAT refund. Many buyers never ask about it and simply lose the money. We prepare the documents that make it possible.
We do not understate values or misdeclare goods. That is not a saving, it is a deferred risk that lands on the largest and most urgent shipment.
Frequently asked questions
Can customs payments be reduced legally?
Yes: correct classification with an advance ruling, origin preferences, a properly structured customs value and the right customs procedure.
Do you clear in your name or ours?
In yours. That way VAT is creditable and the goods are officially your company's.
When should documents be collected?
Before shipping. While the deal is live the supplier issues export declarations and price lists without friction; a month after shipment it becomes a struggle.
