Cheers.

Good morning Nika Bolokov,

I would be happy to assist you with this. Just bear in mind that there is no certaintity as to the rates from 01JUL onwards. Shipping lines have announced very significant increases and negotiations are still in full swing.

However, based on 50 units @ 60.5 x 18 x 27 cms / 15 kgs ( 1.48 cbm / 750 kgs), this would be my best estimate ;

Oceanfreight Us$ 162
Handling € 55.00
Agency € 50.00
Customs Clearance € 60.00

Delivery costs would depend on location.

If you can advise the commodity, we can have a look at what rate of duty would apply and calculate the Duty / VAT outlay. If this is the first time you import from outside the EU, you need to register for EORI.

Let me know if you need anything else

Cheers,

Hello relaxed,

Including the GRI implemented on the 1st July (yesterday) can confirm the following rates ;

Chinese Mainports (e.g. Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Yantian/Shenzhen, Hong Kong) to Dublin or Cork - Us$ 1500 per 20' container

Plus ;
Terminal Handling - € 135.00
Agency - € 68.00
ISPS - € 17.00
EHF/Lo-Lo - € 29.00

Exlcuding ;
Duty / VAT (**)
Customs Clearance
Delivery

Rates are based on current tariffs and rates of exchange and may be subject to change with or without notice.

All business is transacted as agents only, subject to the company’s standard trading conditions and the terms and conditions imposed by the carrier.

Goods are not insured beyond the limits of the carriers liability, which are subject to exclusion and limitation clauses. In any event the maximum liability of the carriers is often only a fraction of the value of the goods. We therefore strongly recommend to arrange all risks transport / marine cargo insurance and are happy to assist you to source the appropriate insurance cover.

(**) Please note I would be happy to review the customs tariff classification for your product to ensure you are paying the correct rate of duty

Also, if you are a VAT registered trader, we can structure your imports in such a way as to eliminate the cash outlay of VAT at the point of entry. Instead we can defer it your VAT return. Something that is likely to significantly improve your cash flow.

Let me know if you need any assistance

Hi Rudolf,

Thanks for that, what is the customs clearance charge likely to be? Is everythin else now included except the cost of a truck to get it from port to warehouse?

Thanks.

Hello relaxed,

the clearance cost is not included. If we clear the goods on arrival in Dublin, the charge is € 60.00 per customs entry. You would need to lodge the Duty/VAT outlay to Revenue prior to clearance of the container.

If you want us to structure that import, so at to defer the VAT to your periodic VAT return - and eliminate the cash outlay of VAT at the point of entry - we would charge € 110.00 including the additional filings of VAT/VIES and Intrastat returns.

Cheers,
