Importing from China to UK

[mb450]

Hi folks,

I need some advice on the tax when importing clothing (nothing special just dresses) from China to the UK for resale.

I've got a for the shipping which after haggling seems reasonable; but I'm confused about the taxation of the dresses when they come into the country. My limited understanding is that they are taxed - but I'm struggling to find out at what rate etc.

Anyone got any experience or can help point me in the right direction.

Cheers

I don't know the detailed amounts but you will be charged the following:

import duty
VAT at point of entry (currently 15% on adult clothing)
handling charges by the import agent (if there is one)

If you are VAT registered, you will be able to reclaim the VAT at point of entry.

For classification of how much import duty, ring HMRC on 01702366077. They will tel you exaclty how much.
