TopToolsAiEstimate the import duty payable on goods brought into China, based on the declared value and the applicable duty rate for that product category. Goods declared at ¥5,000 in a category carrying a 10% duty rate would owe ¥500 in import duty before VAT is even applied on top, which is why checking both the duty rate and VAT rate together matters for landed cost.

Frequently asked questions
Is the duty rate the same for all products?
No — China applies different duty rates depending on the product category (HS code), so check the specific rate for your item.
Does this include VAT as well?
This estimates import duty specifically — VAT on imports is typically calculated and charged separately.
What is an HS code and why does it matter?
It's a standardized classification code for traded products — customs authorities use it to determine exactly which duty rate applies to your specific item.
Are there duty-free thresholds for small shipments?
Some countries exempt low-value personal shipments below a certain threshold — check current customs rules, as thresholds and exemptions can change.
