Estimate-only China to EU landed cost workflow with CN/TARIC candidate code, customs value, EU import duty, member-state VAT input, shipping, insurance, handling, and official verification.
EU landed cost requires product classification through CN/TARIC candidate code review and member-state VAT review.
Import VAT is member-state-specific and should be source-checked rather than hard-coded universally.
Shipping, insurance, handling, and clearance costs should be entered as seller assumptions and verified before shipping.
Use a candidate HS code, verify duty rate, verify additional tariffs, verify tax/VAT/GST where applicable, and keep a source-check required note. The result is estimate-only and not a filing result.
| Input | How to prepare it |
|---|---|
| CN/TARIC candidate code | Candidate code based on product facts. Verify in EU TARIC and any member-state notes. |
| Customs value | Value basis used for duty and VAT modeling. |
| EU import duty | User-entered duty rate after TARIC verification. |
| Member-state import VAT | VAT input source-checked for the destination member state and product type. |
| Shipping and insurance | Freight and insurance assumptions included in landed cost. |
| Handling/clearance fees | Carrier, broker, clearance, and destination handling fields entered manually. |
| Origin and documents | China origin, invoice fields, and product descriptions for review. |
EU landed cost = customs value + EU import duty + member-state import VAT + shipping + insurance + handling/clearance fees.
Use the connected calculator as a preparation aid. Enter only source-checked rates and keep the official source note with the estimate.
Scenario: A seller imports China-origin ceramic mugs into an EU member state. The seller prepares a TARIC candidate code, customs value, shipping, insurance, duty, VAT, and handling inputs.
EU landed cost can differ by member state because VAT and processing rules vary, so source-check required review is part of the workflow.
Written by the TariffCatalog Editorial Team for route-specific duty, landed cost, and DDP estimate preparation. The page uses the connected Import Duty or Landed Cost calculator within its coverage boundary, and source-check required review for rates outside that boundary.
Maintained by Ryan Cole, with review focused on ecommerce route assumptions, catalog inputs, and estimate-only calculation boundaries.
Within the coverage boundary, TariffCatalog auto-resolves duty rate, Section 301 additional tariff, MPF, and HMF from official tariff sources and the TariffResolver. Outside the coverage boundary or for complex scenarios, the page returns editable fields and prompts source-check required review. Each estimate is always marked estimate-only and not a filing result.
Use official sources for final classification, duty rate, additional tariff treatment, tax/VAT/GST where applicable, and document requirements. Route pages are estimate-only and not a filing result.

No. Import VAT is member-state-specific and product-dependent. Enter VAT as a source-checked input for the destination member state.
Yes. Shipping is part of landed cost when the seller pays or allocates it, even when customs value treatment differs by basis.
Verify the product code and duty treatment in EU TARIC and check destination member-state notes where relevant.
No. The output is estimate-only and not a filing result. It supports planning before official processing.
Yes. China origin can affect tariff treatment, trade measures, and document review, so origin should be recorded on the invoice and estimate.
Include duty, import VAT, shipping, insurance, handling, clearance, brokerage, and destination fees where applicable.
Verify TARIC code, duty rate, member-state VAT, customs value, origin, shipping, insurance, and handling before filing or shipping.
TariffCatalog route pages provide estimate-only calculation support, candidate HS code workflows, and source-check required notes. They are not a filing result and do not replace official tariff databases, carrier requirements, or destination authority review.
