In most markets you pay both a customs duty and a VAT or GST on porcelain imports. Rates follow the HS code and destination, so confirm locally.
In most countries, importing porcelain from China triggers two charges: a customs duty and a value-added tax or GST. The duty is set by the HS code for ceramic tableware, which is 6911 or 6912. VAT is usually calculated on the total value, including freight and insurance.
Exact rates differ by country and can change, so check with your local customs authority or broker before you order. Some markets have no VAT but apply a sales tax instead, and duty levels vary widely.
If you would rather not handle the payments yourself, choose DDP terms. We can handle duty and tax payment so the goods arrive with nothing further to settle.
