Importing to China

Bigfoot (5 posts) • 0

Importing some goods to China and could use some advice regarding the best import method and related import taxes and restrictions.
Anybody familiar with a local consultancy office that offers these services?
Thanks!

I would suggest you use a shipping agent/import company. They charge fees, but will not see you wrong, as they do all the paperwork.

I think the larger ports also have bilingual websites with some information on customs duties. Shanghai, Shenzen, Dalian, Beijing.

Local consultancies are 10 a penny, and most are not worth 2 cents. Many will just take your money and give poor advice. Possibly based on an Ebay purchase they once made, that was delivered by UPS. I jest not. I would suggest caution if approached in response to your classified add. But would accept referrals from other expat companies that import.

It might help to know what you are thinking of importing, in what quantities, from where, by what mode of transport, and through what port?
