Luxembourg has a small land area, but as the location of the European Court of Justice and several financial institutions, its commercial compliance standards are not low. Goods are usually transshipped through Antwerp or Rotterdam and then transported by truck into Luxembourg. The real headache for exporters is often the customs clearance process - EORI is not bound to VAT, and the declaration cannot be submitted; The commercial invoice is required to be accompanied by a French or German translation, and the supplementary documents have been delayed for several days; The fiber composition labeling method of the label does not comply with the EU 1007/2011 standard, and the entire batch is required to be rectified. We pass these checkpoints for our customers before shipping.
1、 Shipping prices and delivery time of sub brand bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Luxembourg by sea
1. Shenzhen to Luxembourg sub brand bags and jerseys shipping time
Luxembourg does not rely on the sea, and sea transportation requires transit through Antwerp, Belgium or Rotterdam, the Netherlands, before entering Luxembourg by truck or rail. We are rooted in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen for container loading, and can handle both FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou, or Dongguan Port, and then transferring to basic ports in Europe, the full container load (FCL) delivery time is about 35-50 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL delivery time is about 40-55 days. The standard clearance time for Luxembourg customs is about 1-2 days, and express goods are usually faster. During the peak season from June to September, cabin availability may be tight, so booking 3-4 weeks in advance is more relaxed.
2. Shipping price of sub brand bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Luxembourg by sea
The quoted price includes all costs, including sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Luxembourg customs clearance, customs duties, 17% value-added tax (VAT), and final delivery. It should be calculated clearly before signing the contract and no additional charges will be incurred thereafter.
3. Shipping taxes and fees for sub brand bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Luxembourg
Luxembourg's value-added tax is the lowest in the European Union, with a standard tax rate of only 17%, calculated at (CIF price+customs duty) x 17%. In terms of tariffs, the tariff rate for clothing and textiles (HS Chapters 61-62) is 12%, calculated based on the CIF value (value of goods+freight+insurance). The footwear tax rate ranges from 8% to 17%. Children's clothing can enjoy a super low value-added tax rate of 3%, which is relatively rare within the European Union.
Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union officially cancels the tariff exemption for imported packages below 150 euros. During the transition period from July 2026 to July 2028, low value goods will be subject to a fixed tariff of 3 euros per product category. Goods of different categories in the same package are taxed separately - for example, if there is one T-shirt, one pair of jeans, and one pair of shoes in one order, which belong to three categories, the tariff is 9 euros; If there is 1 T-shirt and 2 pairs of jeans in a single order, the T-shirts and jeans are classified into 2 categories and the tariff is 6 euros. After the transition period ends in July 2028, the fixed tariff of 3 euros will be abolished and will be classified into five tax rates: 0%, 5%, 8%, 12%, and 17%. All commercial goods entering from non EU countries, regardless of their value, are subject to customs duties and a 17% VAT.
2、 Shenzhen to Luxembourg sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: four checkpoints, none of which can be relaxed
First level: EORI number and Luxembourg VAT - hard threshold for customs clearance
Luxembourg Customs requires all importers to hold a valid EORI number. Luxembourg has a convenient place for exporters - the EORI number is exactly the same as the VAT number. As long as you hold a Luxembourg VAT number, the number can be used as EORI without the need for a separate application. Any import declaration must have both EORI number and Luxembourg VAT number or tax representative. When using DDP double clearance tax service, the freight forwarder acts as the importer to complete EORI and VAT related administrative work. EORI information must be confirmed in place before shipment.
Second level: Commercial invoice - must be in English, customs may require French or German translation
Luxembourg Customs requires all cross-border goods to provide commercial invoices, which must include: the names and addresses of the buyer and seller, invoice number and date, detailed description of the goods (including HS code), quantity, unit price and total price, transaction conditions (such as DDP or CIF), and country of origin. Invoices must be filled out in English, handwritten invoices are not accepted. The Luxembourg tax authorities have the right to request that invoices be translated into French or German during inspections, which is a special requirement that distinguishes Luxembourg from other EU member states. Prepare all invoice information before shipment to avoid delays in customs clearance due to translation and delivery. Commercial invoices should avoid vague descriptions and should be specifically labeled as "100% pure cotton women's T-shirt".
Level 3: French or German Labels - Language Requirements of Regulation 1007/2011
Luxembourg implements EU Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, which requires textile labels to be durable, clearly readable, visible and accessible, indicating fiber composition and percentage, using standard fiber names specified in EU regulations, arranged in descending order of weight, and the labels must be firmly fixed to the product. According to the regulation, labels must be written in the official language of the member state where the product is intended for consumers. The official languages of Luxembourg are French and German, and the label language must be French or German (or both). The label must also indicate the name and address of the manufacturer/importer, as well as the country of origin "Made in China". If the product contains non textile components of animal origin, it must be indicated on the label.
Fourth level: Brand authorization - Luxembourg Customs may proactively detain infringing goods
According to the EU Intellectual Property Border Enforcement Regulation, Luxembourg Customs has the authority to proactively detain goods suspected of infringement. The number of counterfeit goods seized by Luxembourg Customs has significantly increased in recent years, from 6661 in 2022 to nearly 91000 in 2023, indicating a significant strengthening of law enforcement efforts. After the customs detain the goods, they may notify the trademark owner, who will decide whether to take legal action. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter, which must specify the authorizing party, authorized party, product scope, and validity period. Unauthorized goods are at risk of destruction after being seized.
Fifth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port (our Luxembourg cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):
1. EORI/VAT confirmation (before shipment): Confirm that the importer's EORI and VAT numbers are consistent and the status is valid. In DDP mode, the freight forwarder acts as the IOR to complete the registration
2. Pre review of documents (during transportation): Submit the complete set of customs clearance documents to the agent for early review, complete the French or German compliance check of label content, and complete the invoice information
3. Electronic declaration (before arrival): Import declaration must be submitted through the Luxembourg Customs electronic system, and EORI number must be provided
4. Customs valuation and inspection: With complete documentation, customs clearance is usually completed within 1-2 working days; In case of inspection, reserve 3-5 days
5. Tax payment release: payment of customs duties on behalf of others+17% value-added tax, compliant release
6. End of line delivery: Delivery throughout Luxembourg City, Esch sur Alzette, and Diquich
Sixth level: List of customs clearance documents
Customs clearance document list: original/electronic bill of lading, commercial invoice (in English, with French or German translation if necessary), packing list, brand authorization letter, importer EORI and Luxembourg VAT number, certificate of origin (if applicable), fumigation certificate for wooden packaging (if applicable).
3、 Shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Luxembourg with six red lines, even touching one would be troublesome
1. EORI is not bound to Luxembourg VAT - customs clearance is directly stuck
Luxembourg Customs requires import declarations to have both EORI number and Luxembourg VAT number or tax representative. EORI and VAT numbers are the same in Luxembourg, and their status must be confirmed to be valid before shipment.
2. Commercial invoice not prepared for translation - delayed submission during inspection
The Luxembourg tax authorities have the right to request the invoice to be translated into French or German during inspection. This is a unique invoice language requirement in Luxembourg, and failure to prepare in advance may result in customs clearance delays.
3. Non compliant label language - either French or German is indispensable
According to EU Regulation 1007/2011, labels must be written in the official languages of Luxembourg (French and German). The pure English label may be required to be rectified, and non-compliance with the label will trigger a compliance review by the Luxembourg ILNAS market supervision department.
4. Missing brand authorization letter - Customs actively seized goods
Luxembourg Customs has the right to proactively detain suspected infringing goods based on its authority. The number of counterfeit goods seized by Luxembourg Customs has significantly increased in recent years, and law enforcement efforts have been significantly strengthened. The authorization letter for brand bags and jerseys must be complete.
5. New tariff policy in July 2026- cancellation of small exemptions
Starting from July 1, 2026, the tariff exemption for packages below 150 euros will be officially cancelled and replaced with a fixed tariff of 3 euros per product category. Even if the value of a single item is very low, as long as it enters the EU customs territory, tariffs and 17% VAT need to be paid.
6. Wooden packaging without IPPC logo - Luxembourg implements strict standards
Luxembourg implements the EU ISPM 15 standard. Wooden packaging must undergo heat treatment (HT), with the core temperature of the wood reaching 56 ℃ for at least 30 minutes, and marked with IPPC (including country code LU, processing enterprise number, and processing method code HT). Wooden packaging must be peeled, IPPC markings must be durable, non transferable, and red or orange colors cannot be used as they are used to label hazardous products. Enterprises in Luxembourg that handle wooden packaging on their own must be inspected and approved by ASTA (Agricultural Technology Services Administration). It is recommended to prioritize using plywood fumigation free pallets or plastic pallets.
