    Is there any procedures you must go through before you import from China?

    No, just the standard customs and freight documents, bill of lading etc.

    So basically just pay the import duty, grand so. Keep the invoice too. I'm considering purchasing some clothes to open an online shop. Was just wondering if 100+ t shirts/jackets would be heavily charged.

    Hello paddyg91

    A couple of things to bear in mind.

    1) Shipping from China. Make sure you know all the costs you are going to incurr. If you leave the shipping (seafreight) to your supplier in China, ask them to confirm the details of the agent in Dublin the goods will arrive with. Ask them not to ship the goods untill you have spoken to this agent and have the arrival charges. For shipment by Air I would suggest the same. Unfortunately there are many posters on Boards.ie that have had very heavy (unexpected) bills. The alternative is to arrange the shipping yourself, let me know if you need any assistance with that
    2) Import Duty and VAT. The import duty for clothing is 12%. The duty is calculated over the cost of the product plus freight plus cargo/marine insurance. The VAT is charged over the cost, plus freight, plus cargo/marine insurance plus the duty. If you are a VAT registered trader, the VAT paid on imports is a deductible input in your periodic VAT returns.

    I attach an overview that you may find helpfull when starting out importing or exporting.

    Feel free to post again or contact me if you require any further information or assistance

    Cheers,
