Im gona do my first import, i would someone answer me to a simple thing.
The shipping cost, calculated by supliers its only from china to specific country port (in my case Portugal) right?
When the merchandise arrive to the custom in my country, i will to pay the custom clearance tax and Vat and more?
My question is: Does the shipping cost already includes the transportation from suplier to my company door? And i will just have to pay the vat and product Tax?
OR
In total i will have to pay: Shipping cots (from china to portugal) + Product tax and VAT + Custom clearance stuff ( like documents and port stuff) + Transportation from port to my company door...?
Really help would be apreciated, because the supliers i want to buy, are not used to ship to portugal, and they are sayng that the cost of shipping includes everything except the product tax and Vat.
Someone experieced in import that could some knowledge would be lovly
thanks in advance
Hi, I suppose your shipping is by LCL to Portugal, which port? If your address is far away from the port, do you need someone send the goods to your address? If so, can do DDU, usually it's better that you pay Tax and VAT by yourself.

What's your delivery terms? DDP or DDU? If DDU, the supplier will pay all freight cost from factory to destination, but the buyer still need pay all cost involved on importing custom duty and VAT. For DDP, the supplier pay all cost from factory to destination.
Actually most supplier doesn't like DDP or DDU, they like EX-Works or FOB loading port better.
