HS code classification

The right commodity code is a lawful way to minimize duties. We select a code with a justification that withstands audits.

We register your company or sole proprietorship with customs from scratch — in 1–2 days, fully remotely.

Certification

Conformity assessment, declarations and sanitary certificates for goods that require them (toys, electronics, cosmetics).

Turnkey import

No foreign-trade entity of your own? We import the cargo under our contract — you receive the goods with full accounting documents.

Frequently asked questions: customs clearance

How much does it cost to clear goods from China through customs?
Mandatory payments: import duty (0–12% depending on the HS code) plus 20% VAT. The base is the customs value: goods price + shipping to the border + insurance. Add broker services from $100. Calculate the exact amount with our customs calculator.
What happens if I understate the value on the invoice?
Customs maintains price databases, and if it suspects undervaluation it reassesses duties at the "risk" price while your cargo sits stuck for 3–10 days. We declare the real value with the correct code — cheaper than fines and demurrage.
Does my product need certification?
It depends on the category: toys, electronics, personal protective equipment and cosmetics require conformity assessment. Send us a product description — we'll check which documents you need, free of charge.
Can you clear the cargo under your own company?
Yes — our turnkey import service: we import under our foreign-trade contract, pay all duties and hand over the goods with a delivery note. You operate without your own accreditation or currency transactions.
