Reference
A landed-cost reference for procurement teams planning a metal gift program.
This page documents the import duty environment, shipping timelines, and Free Trade Agreement coverage for the destinations we currently ship to. It is intended as a planning reference — actual landed cost varies by HS classification, quantity, port pair, and prevailing freight rates, and is confirmed line-by-line in formal quotations.

Duty rates above apply to qualifying metal gift goods correctly classified under their applicable HS tariff codes. Final classification is determined by customs in the destination country.
FTA Certificates of Origin enable the duty-free preferential rate. We arrange through CCPIT or Chinese Customs and include in standard shipping documents at no additional charge.
General Certificates of Origin serve as proof of Chinese origin for customs and statistical purposes. They do not confer any duty preference where no FTA exists.
Local sales tax, VAT, or GST (e.g. Australian GST 10%, NZ GST 15%, UK VAT 20%) applies independently of import duty and is generally recoverable by registered importers.

How We Quote
We quote on three Incoterms. Choose the one that fits your team's logistics capability and your client's pricing expectations.
FOB China
Includes
Goods + export packaging + delivery to Chinese port + export clearance
When to choose
You have a freight forwarder you trust and want full control over shipping and customs.
CIF [Port]
Includes
FOB + sea freight + insurance to destination port
When to choose
You want a single price to destination port but plan to clear customs yourself.
DDP [City]
Includes
All-in price including duty, freight, clearance, and inland delivery to your client's door
When to choose
Your client expects a fully-landed price and you don't want to handle customs at all.
For destinations where FTA coverage applies (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland), DDP pricing reflects the zero-duty advantage. For non-FTA destinations, DDP includes the applicable import duty calculated on your specific HS classification. We do not mark up customs duty or freight in DDP quotes — line items are visible in the quotation so you can verify each cost.
FTA Process
The duty-free rate under an FTA does not apply automatically. The preference is claimed by the importer at the time of customs entry, supported by a valid Certificate of Origin issued in the exporting country.
Step 1
You order, we produce
Normal production cycle. No FTA action needed at this stage.
Step 2
We arrange the Certificate of Origin
Once the shipment is ready, we apply for the relevant FTA Certificate of Origin through CCPIT or Chinese Customs. Processing time: 1–3 working days.
Step 3
We ship with full documentation
Original Certificate of Origin is sent with the shipment alongside the Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Bill of Lading or Airwaybill.
Step 4
Your customs broker claims the preference
At destination, your customs broker presents the Certificate of Origin during entry. Duty is assessed at the FTA preferential rate.
