The Complete Guide to Importing Components from China: Customs, Duties, and Compliance for Romanian Manufacturers
You've spent three months sourcing the right supplier in Shenzhen. The per-unit cost is 40% lower than domestic options. The quality looks solid. You sign the contract, place your first order for €80,000 in components, and book the shipment for next month. Then it hits: a customs invoice arrives showing €12,400 in duties and VAT. Your shipment sits in the bonded warehouse for six days waiting for paperwork. A tariff classification question holds up release by another two days. Your production schedule slips.
