Free tools for importing from China to the UK
Calculators and checkers for the questions that come up before an order: what it will cost to land, whether anti-dumping duty or a compliance regime applies, how to ship it, and when to order around Chinese New Year. Free, no account, nothing to install.
UK Import Duty & Landed Cost Calculator
Estimate what your goods from China will really cost to land in the UK — customs duty, import VAT and the total — in seconds.
Customs Value Builder (official HMRC rate)
Duty is charged on the customs value, not the invoice. Build it up correctly — including the tooling most importers forget — and convert it at the rate HMRC actually uses.
UK Anti-Dumping Duty Checker (China origin)
Anti-dumping duty is charged on top of normal duty and can be many times larger. Check whether a measure applies to your product before you commit to an order.
UK Compliance Requirements Finder
Pick what you are importing and see which UK regimes attach to it, what to demand from the factory, and where to read the detail.
Sea vs air freight calculator
Air always looks dearer on the freight quote. This counts what the slower sea route costs while your goods are on the water — money tied up in stock, sales lost while the shelf is empty, and the duty charged on the freight itself.
Shipping Volume & Container Load Calculator
Work out the CBM of your cartons, how many fit in a 20ft or 40ft container, and whether you should ship LCL or book a full container.
Incoterms® 2020 chart: who pays what, and who carries the risk
Pick the term on your supplier's quote to see who clears export, pays the freight, unloads, clears UK customs and pays duty and VAT — where the risk becomes yours — and what the term does to a UK importer's VAT position.
Chinese New Year 2027 Production & Shipping Planner
Factories close for far longer than the public holiday. Enter the date you need stock in the UK and this works backwards to the day you have to place the order.
