VAT & EORI setup for importing from China

The two things that stall a first shipment aren't the product — they're your VAT position and an EORI for customs. Latynex sets both up with the company, and clears the goods under DDP, so nothing waits at the port.

What importers actually need

VAT, EORI and clearance — set up before the goods move

Getting these in the right order is the difference between a clean first import and inventory sitting at customs.

VAT position

EU sellers above certain thresholds need VAT. Getting your VAT position right for your markets is what keeps listings and payouts running — coordinated as part of the company package.

EORI for customs

EORI is required for customs operations when importing into the EU. Without it, your first China shipment can stall — so it's registered alongside the company, not after the container has sailed.

DDP clearance

Under DDP, import duties and VAT are pre-paid and Latynex Logistics handles clearance at the destination — the compliance and the freight run on one timeline.

What makes this different

The company that owns the EORI also clears the goods

Most agents register an EORI and leave you to find a customs broker. Latynex registers it against your company and clears the freight itself — one operator, one timeline.

FAQ

VAT & EORI for China imports — common questions

Do I need VAT and EORI to import from China?▾
It depends on your business model, volumes and markets. EU sellers above certain thresholds need VAT, and EORI is required for customs operations. We coordinate VAT/EORI setup as part of the company and Amazon FBA package.
What is EORI and why does my shipment need it?▾
EORI is an identifier required for customs operations when importing into the EU. Without it, your first China shipment can stall at customs — so it's set up alongside the company, not after.
Can Latynex handle the customs clearance too?▾
Yes. Under DDP shipping, Latynex Logistics handles import customs clearance with duties and VAT pre-paid, so the compliance side and the freight are managed by one operator.
Do you provide tax or legal advice?▾
No. We provide business setup coordination and infrastructure planning. Tax and legal advice is provided through qualified partners.
How long does company setup take?▾
Estonia OÜ: 3–10 business days. US LLC: 1–4 weeks. UK LTD: 24–72 hours. Banking timelines depend on the provider.
