How much does a sauna tent with wood stove cost landed in the UK from China?
A Standard 210 insulated sauna tent with a full-size 304 stainless wood stove costs about £464–£467 per set landed in the UK, for an order of 100 sets shipped in one 20ft container. That is our quoted price of US$565 EXW China (£419.89), which includes our sourcing margin, plus £19.86–£22.49 per set of ocean freight and £24.18–£24.32 per set of import duty. It is before China-side haulage to the port, UK port, customs clearance and delivery charges, and before import VAT, which VAT-registered buyers can normally reclaim.
Quoted on:17 September 2026, EXW China, in US dollars. Duty rates checked on 7 October 2026.

Container basis
- Freight is priced on a full container (FCL), not a shared one. From the confirmed cartons (tent 0.065 m³ plus stove 0.1138 m³, about 0.18 m³ per set), a 20ft container holds about 140–155 Standard sets.
- This example ships 100 sets in one 20ft container. Filled to 140–155 sets, ocean freight falls to about £12.81–£16.06 per set.
- Value and Premium need final stove carton data before the container size can be confirmed.
What buyers miss
- Sauna stones: buy them in the UK. They could not go in the sea shipment on the route we were quoted, and 20 kg packs are readily available in the UK.
- Ask which component each CE certificate covers. A certificate for the stove says nothing about the tent, and the reverse.
- The MOQ is set by the component with the highest MOQ, so check the tent and the stove separately before you plan a mixed order.
