Help you go global in compliance and seize the Baltic clothing market!

Lithuania is one of the countries with the strongest market vitality among the three Baltic states for brand clothing going global. As the largest container gateway in the region, Klaipeda Port undertakes about 70% of Lithuania's sea freight volume and is a strategic springboard for Chinese goods to enter the Nordic and Baltic markets. There is a large amount of trade between the clothing and textile industry cluster in the Pearl River Delta and the Lithuanian market every day.

But the complexity of customs clearance for branded clothing and textiles exported to Lithuania is much higher than that of ordinary goods. As a member state of the European Union, Lithuania has an import tariff of approximately 12% on clothing and textiles, and a standard value-added tax rate of 21%. Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union officially cancels the tariff exemption policy for imported packages with a value of ≤ 150 euros, and a fixed tariff of 3 euros will be levied on each product category. Branding and formal customs clearance for FCL/LCL have become the only options.

Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of clothing and textiles from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan for many years. We provide one-stop services including full container load (FCL)/less than container load (LCL), double clearance with tax included, and door-to-door service to help you go global in compliance and efficiently seize the Baltic clothing market.

1、 Shenzhen to Lithuania branded clothing and textile sea freight prices and delivery time: Klaipeda special line

Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen/Nansha in Guangzhou/Dongguan Port, the direct flight to Klaipeda Port in Lithuania takes about 30-40 days, with a transit time of about 45-55 days through Hamburg and Rotterdam. The full container load chain takes about 35-50 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 40-55 days. Lithuania Customs processes customs clearance through the iMDAS intelligent electronic declaration system, with a standard lead time of 1-3 days. During the peak season (June September), cabin availability is tight. It is recommended to book 3-4 weeks in advance.

The price is negotiable, with a fixed price that includes all expenses: sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Lithuanian import customs clearance, customs duties, 21% value-added tax, and final delivery. The HS codes for clothing and textiles are classified under Chapter 61 (Knitted) and Chapter 62 (Woven).

Key points of taxes and fees for clothing and textiles in Lithuania:

Lithuania implements the EU Common Customs Tariff. The tariff rate for clothing and textiles is about 12%, while the tariff rate for industrial products is generally between 0% and 17%. Import value (FOB) ≤ 150 euros is exempt from customs duties (before July 1, 2026). The VAT rate is 21%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 21%, and is exempt for amounts ≤ 22 euros.

Important changes from July 1, 2026: The EU cancels the 150 euro tariff exemption and imposes a fixed tariff of 3 euros per product category on low value packages. For example, a package containing 3 pairs of pants (of the same category) has a tariff of 3 euros; If pants, sweaters, and jackets (3 different categories) are included, the tariff is 9 euros. It is recommended to switch to the full container load/LCL DDP commercial customs clearance model in advance.
