Freight is an input, not a quoted figure: the calculator starts at a placeholder $0.40/kg — replace it with your forwarder's quote.

Same shipment, three Incoterms. The total you end up paying barely moves; what changes is how much sits on the supplier’s invoice and how much lands on you later as freight, duty and tax.

Import VAT / GST is usually reclaimable if you are registered — it is a cash-flow cost, not a margin cost.
About this lane
For years ceramic mugs from China carried EU anti-dumping duties that could exceed the price of the mug itself. TARIC shows those measures (Regulations 2019/1198 and 2023/711) ending on 8 October 2025, and none were in force on 1 October 2026. Stoneware tableware in 6912 00 83 00 now pays only the 5.5% third-country duty.
That changes the sourcing maths for German retailers and promotional-goods buyers who moved to other origins to avoid the duty. It can also change back, so re-check TARIC before a large order in case a new investigation opens. Porcelain mugs are a different heading (6911 10 00) and were not checked. Import VAT is the standard 19%.
FAQ
Is there still anti-dumping duty on Chinese ceramic mugs in the EU?
Not on the check date. TARIC shows the measures under Regulations 2019/1198 and 2023/711 ending on 8 October 2025; stoneware mugs (6912 00 83 00) pay 5.5% (checked 2026-10-01).
Stoneware or porcelain: does it matter?
Yes. Porcelain and china fall under 6911 with different rates; this page covers stoneware only. Ask the factory for the body type and water absorption if unsure.
Can the anti-dumping duty come back?
Only through a new investigation published in the Official Journal. Check TARIC for the exact code shortly before you place a large order.
How does volumetric weight (CBM) affect landed cost for Chinese Stoneware Mug Import Calculator (Germany)?
Volumetric weight converts box dimensions (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 5,000 into chargeable kilograms. Ocean LCL and air freight bill on whichever is higher between actual gross weight and volumetric weight, so low-density bulky goods inflate landed cost even when light.
How is landed cost and recommended retail margin calculated?
Landed cost = (FOB unit cost × MOQ) + chargeable freight + (FOB + freight) × duty rate. Retail price for an X% margin = landed cost ÷ (1 − X/100). At 45% margin, every $1 of landed cost requires $1.82 of retail price.
What is the standard volumetric divisor and when does it change?
Default is 5,000 cm³/kg, used for general air freight consolidation and ocean LCL. Some express airlines use 6,000; domestic couriers use 4,000–5,000. If your forwarder applies a different divisor, manually adjust the chargeable weight.
What's the difference between Incoterms FOB, CIF, and DDP?
FOB (Free On Board): the seller delivers to the origin port; the buyer pays freight and insurance. CIF (Cost Insurance Freight): the seller covers freight and insurance to the destination port, but you handle customs clearance and last-mile. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): the seller delivers to your door with all duties paid — most expensive but simplest.
Which payment method is safest for a first international B2B order?
Small orders (under $10K): T/T 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy. Medium ($10–50K): L/C (letter of credit) with the bank as escrow. Large (over $50K): escrow via Alibaba Trade Assurance or pre-shipment inspection (PSI). Never pay 100% upfront on a first transaction.
