Duty here is a % of customs value, which this country assesses on FOB value (international freight excluded). The calculator below applies the duty % to goods + freight, so it errs on the high side.
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
Australia completes a striking comparison. The same Chinese yoga mat pays 24.6% in the United States and 2% in the UK, but 0% in Australia: the China–Australia FTA (Schedule 12) has every rate at free outside a short exception list, and 9506.91.00 is not on it.
To use it, keep a ChAFTA certificate of origin from the Chinese exporter; the general rate is 5% without one. GST is 10% of the value of the taxable importation, including international freight and insurance.
FAQ
Is there import duty on yoga mats from China into Australia?
Not with a ChAFTA certificate of origin: Schedule 12 rates are Free. Without it the general rate for 9506.91.00 is 5% (checked 2026-10-01).
What GST applies?
10% on customs value plus duty plus international freight and insurance.
How does Australia compare with the US and UK?
For the same mat: 24.6% in the US, 2% in the UK and 0% in Australia under ChAFTA.
How does volumetric weight (CBM) affect landed cost for Chinese Yoga Mat Import Calculator (Australia)?
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.
