    My previous Thread:
    I am ordering 10 pcs of Football Jerseys from China.
    They are being posted by DHL at 60USD and the jerseys at 80USD, in all 140USD.

    Just got a call from DHL saying that I would need to pay 12% clothing charge and and on top of that 23% customs(which I am fine with) and on top of that 2% carrying charge by DHL.
    The 12% clothing charge I do not get why I have to pay that. I just ordered 4 jerseys 1 month ago, via china post and I had to pay nothing.
    Are they right to charge me the clothing charges.

    Goodmorning,

    The 12% "clothing charge" is an import duty rate on clothing, the 23% you mention is VAT.

    Have a look at the following thread ; http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055862554

    That should explain at which values you become liable for duty and taxes. Obviously the 4 jerseys from China stayed under the threshold at which duty and VAT becomes payable.

    Hope this clarifies

    Cheers,
