How much does it cost to buy an imported product directly from a foreign website? This reporter has experienced the whole process of online shopping abroad to help you figure out this account.

More than a month ago, reporters saw a leather bag on the website of the British Cambridge Satchel company.

The current price of this trumpet schoolbag is 71 pounds (750 yuan), plus 20 pounds (210 yuan) postage for mail to China.

So the reporter bought the bag from the British website for 91 pounds, but was told that the order was too large and it would take 1-2 months to send it.

A few days ago, a reporter received a phone call from Shanghai FedEx.

The package purchased from Britain will arrive in Shanghai in second days.

If you want to get this package, the recipient needs to find a custom brokers company to declare it to the customs.

After the declaration is successful, the Federal Express will pay the customs tax and fee, and finally send it to Hangzhou.

Spend more than 40% of the money.

It seems that if you want to get this foreign online shopping product, you have to go through at least three processes -- first contact the agent custom brokers company, then entrust to pay the customs taxes and fees, and finally pay the receipt.

In the process, how much does it cost? Let's calculate.

The first step: the reporter contacted an agent custom brokers company recommended by FedEx, which first paid 100 yuan agency fee (according to the other party's offer, the goods value was less than 1000 yuan RMB 100 yuan; the goods value was more than 1000 yuan RMB 200 yuan; the surcharge of the goods value was more than 10 thousand dollars).

The second step: after 2-3 working days, customs declaration is successful, FedEx advances customs duties and charges.

The third step: a few days later, the reporter finally got the bag from England.

At this point, FedEx sent a member to ask reporters to pay the taxes and charges paid in a total of 10%: import tariffs and 17% value-added tax on the basis of the duty paid price.

The two taxes and fees add up to nearly 250 yuan.

In this case, a British local sells 750 yuan RMB bag, Hangzhou people need to add 210 yuan postage, 100 yuan customs agency fee and 250 yuan customs tax.
