# Importing into the EU: TARIC, anti-dumping and import VAT

EU duty comes from the 10-digit TARIC code and is charged on the customs value. Anti-dumping measures on Chinese goods can be much larger than the duty. Import VAT is national and is not in TARIC.


## What you need

An EORI number, commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, and any certificate the measure requires.

## How the duty is calculated

1. Customs value, usually CIF to the EU border.
2. Third-country duty for the 10-digit code.
3. Origin-specific measures for China: anti-dumping, countervailing, safeguards.
4. Import VAT at the rate of the member state, on value plus duty.
