Overview: Ireland, as a member of the European Union, applies the Common External Tariff to all imports originating from China. SME importers must classify their goods using the TARIC system to determine the precise duty rate based on the product's HS code. The total cost of importation generally includes the customs duty calculated on the CIF value, followed by the application of Irish VAT on the total landed cost.
- Ad Valorem Duty: The most frequent duty type, calculated as a percentage of the total customs value of the goods including insurance and freight.
- Antidumping Duties: Protective measures applied to specific Chinese products, such as certain steel or bicycles, to counteract trade distortions and protect EU manufacturers.
- Import VAT: A consumption tax levied at 23% on the sum of the customs value, the duty paid, and any other taxes or costs incurred.
- Excise Duty: A specific tax applied to certain categories of goods like mineral oils, alcohol, and tobacco products upon entry into Ireland.
