Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Paris

Step 5: Estimate your tax liability for importing goods from China to France. French customs will apply a 22% value-added tax,(including 0-17% customs duties and 4.2% general tariff). Other taxes and fees may apply depending on the type of items you're shipping.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.

Goods from China reach Europe through the so-called New Silk Road, which enables delivery to Central Europe in approximately 12 days. Transport orders on the Central Europe-China route can be carried out by sea, rail, air, and road. It's important to remember that shipments from China have a long way to go.
