What duties and taxes apply when importing into Denmark?
Imports into Denmark are assessed by the national EU customs authority. The applicable regime is: Import VAT 17–27% by member state; duty 0–12% by TARIC code. The duty-free / de-minimis position is EUR 150 (duty-free threshold). Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
How long does shipping from China to Denmark take?
Door-to-door transit to Denmark: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days, and rail 18–28 days. On arrival, allow roughly 3–6 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Denmark?
the national EU customs authority typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (CE marking + IOSS for low-value B2C parcels). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
What is DDP shipping to Denmark and what does it include?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Denmark means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to the national EU customs authority, and last-mile delivery to your door. The EUR 150 (duty-free threshold) de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
In what currency are rates to Denmark quoted and paid?
Freight to Denmark is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is EUR. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
Should I use FCL or LCL sea freight for 300 KG to Denmark?
For 300 KG to Denmark, LCL through Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg is usually right unless cargo exceeds ~5–6 CBM or ships regularly. FCL becomes economical above roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by the national EU customs authority.
How is chargeable weight calculated for Denmark shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 300 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
