DHgate Tariff Calculator
DHgate import calculator — duty, VAT, and total landed cost.
What is DHgate, and why do tariffs apply?
DHgate is a long-established cross-border B2C and small-B2B marketplace from China. It targets the wholesale-retail crossover — single items are fine, but pricing rewards bulk. Strong in apparel, accessories, electronics, and replica-style items.
Tariffs on DHgate follow standard cross-border parcel rules in your country. Watch out for valuation challenges on apparel and electronics where DHgate sellers sometimes under-declare to dodge duty — you will be the one liable if customs adjusts the value.
Tariff specifics for DHgate
- 1
DHgate sellers occasionally under-declare invoice value — be careful, your courier will charge re-assessed duty.

Same de-minimis rules apply as any cross-border parcel from China.
De-minimis status: Limited — your country may still grant relief; check the calculator.
