Assist you in going global in compliance and seizing the Nordic eyewear market!

Denmark, a representative of high welfare countries in Northern Europe, has mature and stable shipping routes to Copenhagen Port and Aarhus Port. However, there is a unique set of numbers that must be kept in mind when exporting glasses to Denmark: the tariff threshold of 1150 Danish kroner (approximately 154 euros), the value-added tax rate of 25% (one of the highest in the EU), and the value-added tax threshold of 80 kroner - these three sets of data together form the tax cost framework of the Danish market. A 25% value-added tax means an additional tax burden of 25 euros for every 100 euros of goods arriving at the port, which has a direct impact on the exporter's cash flow and pricing strategy. In addition, Danish customs is extremely strict in document review, commercial invoices must have a company seal, and labels usually need to be in Danish or a language with a high degree of spelling similarity to Danish. Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of sensitive goods from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan for many years. We provide one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load, double clearance with tax included, and door-to-door service to help you go global in compliance and efficiently seize the Nordic market.

Key points of Danish tariffs and value-added tax:

-Tariffs: Denmark applies the EU Common Customs Tariff, and the tariffs on most products imported from third countries outside the EU fluctuate between 3% and 20%. Imported goods with a FOB value not exceeding 1150 kronor (approximately 154 euros) are exempt from customs duties.

-Value added tax (VAT): The standard tax rate in Denmark is 25%, calculated as (CIF price+import tariff) x 25%. The value of goods (FOB) does not exceed 80 kronor and is exempt from value-added tax.

-VAT deferral: Importers with Danish VAT numbers can apply for deferral, and there is no need to actually pay taxes during customs clearance. Instead, quarterly tax deductions will be declared.

-Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union will officially cancel the tariff exemption policy for imported packages with a value of ≤ 150 euros, and it is recommended to switch to the full container load/less than container load DDP commercial customs clearance mode in advance.

2、 Shenzhen to Denmark Eyewear Shipping Customs Clearance Documents and Process: The "Three Musts" of Danish Customs

Danish Customs is under the jurisdiction of Skattestyrelsen, the Danish Taxation and Customs Administration. The customs clearance process consists of four stages: preparation, customs declaration, inspection and quarantine, and tax payment release. The following "three musts" are the key to ensuring smooth customs clearance.

Requirement 1: CE certification and nickel release testing

Sunglasses are CE certified according to the EN ISO 12312-1:2022 standard, with testing items covering lens transmittance, UV resistance, impact resistance (tested with 6mm diameter steel balls at a speed of 45m/s), sweat resistance, etc. The lens must be labeled with the filter category (0-4 categories).

The optical frame is CE certified according to EN ISO 12870 standard, and each material and design is tested separately.

The EN 16128:2025 nickel release testing standard will officially become a Danish national standard by the end of April 2026, with a nickel release rate not exceeding 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week. This standard is expected to become a coordinated standard for Annex XVII, Item 27 of the EU REACH regulation.

-Manufacturers can issue a Declaration of Conformity (DoC), and the testing report must come from a qualified laboratory

-The CE mark must be clearly printed on the product body, packaging or instructions

-Technical documents must be kept for at least 10 years for future reference

Requirement 2: Commercial invoices must have the company's signature and seal

Danish customs is extremely strict in document review, and commercial invoices must meet the following requirements:

-Language: English or Danish

-Essential information: company name, address, EORI number of both the buyer and seller; 10 digit HS code, product name, quantity, net/gross weight; Unit price, total price, and CIF price terms; Origin ("Made in China")

-Key requirement: Invoices must have the company's signature (lack of signature may delay customs clearance by 3-5 days)

-The accompanying invoice must be the original copy, and photocopies or scanned copies are not recognized

Requirement 3: Product labels must be in Danish or a similar language

Danish customs require that consumer product labels typically use Danish or languages with minimal spelling differences from Danish, such as Norwegian or Swedish. It is recommended to fill out commercial invoices in English or Danish to avoid Chinese documents.

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for glasses from Shenzhen to Denmark: shockproof, pressure resistant, moisture-proof, with three layers in place

Glasses are precision and vulnerable products, subject to rough shipping and high stacking pressure. In addition, unloading at Danish ports and inland transportation involve multiple loading and unloading processes, and packaging must be strictly protected from damage and deformation.

|First layer: Inner packaging protection | Each pair of glasses is wrapped in a soft cloth or glasses bag and placed in a lens box, which is securely closed. The lens is covered with a protective film to prevent scratches, and the vacuum box or sponge pad tightly adheres to the contour of the lens|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | The carton is filled with sufficient cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl wool) to ensure that all mirror boxes are fixed in the box and do not shake during transportation|

|Third layer: Outer box reinforcement | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard box is selected, sealed with "I" character, and the tape is ≥ 5cm. The outer box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|

Wooden packaging must have the IPPC fumigation label (ISPM 15). Single box ≤ 25kg; all products are labeled as "Made in China"; Place desiccant inside the box to prevent moisture; The batch number and specifications of each batch of lenses correspond exactly to the commercial invoice.

4、 Attention to Shenzhen to Denmark Eyewear Shipping: Four Tax and Compliance Red Lines in the Danish Market

1. 25% value-added tax - the highest tax cost in Northern Europe

The standard VAT rate in Denmark is 25%, which is one of the highest levels in the European Union. For example, for goods with a CIF price of 10000 euros and a customs duty of 5%, the value-added tax is 2625 euros, which is 10000 × 1.05 × 25%. This tax must be paid in one lump sum during customs clearance, which puts significant pressure on cash flow. Importers with Danish VAT numbers can apply for deferral and do not need to pay actual taxes during customs clearance. Instead, they can declare deductions on a quarterly basis. Our company can handle the payment without a local tax number.

2. Tariff threshold and new policy timeline

The starting point for Danish tariffs is 1150 kroner (approximately 154 euros), slightly higher than the EU's common standard of 150 euros. The threshold for value-added tax is 80 kronor. Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union will officially cancel the tariff exemption policy for imported packages with a value of ≤ 150 euros. At that time, Denmark's 1150 kroner threshold will also expire, and all goods, regardless of their value, will be subject to tariffs.

New nickel release standards will come into effect in April 2026

EN 16128:2025 will officially become a Danish national standard by the end of April 2026, and the old version of EN 16128:2015 will be abolished simultaneously. The new standard clarifies the distinction between coating testing and migration testing, and samples that fail coating testing must undergo migration testing on all components. Exporters must ensure that the metal mirror frame components pass testing and that the nickel release rate does not exceed 0.5 micrograms per square centimeter per week.

4. The strictness of documents is higher than that of most EU countries

The Danish customs have extremely strict checks on document consistency. Commercial invoices must have the company's signature; Must be the original document; It is recommended to fill in in English or Danish. Lack of signature or use of photocopies may result in a 3-5 day delay in customs clearance. LCL mixed goods must be separated into separate orders for each customer, specifying the product name, HS code, and weight of each item. All customs clearance document information must be completely consistent.
