Hungary is located in the heart of Europe, with Budapest serving as an important inland port along the Danube River and a hub for China Europe freight trains, connecting the markets of East and West Europe. The clothing and textile industry cluster in the Pearl River Delta is continuously transporting ready to wear, fabrics, and home textile products to this consumer market in Central and Eastern Europe. But the tax cost of exporting branded clothing and textiles to Hungary far exceeds that of most European countries - Hungary's value-added tax rate is as high as 27%, ranking first in the European Union. Starting from July 1, 2026, the European Union has officially abolished the tariff exemption policy for imported packages with a value not exceeding 150 euros, and a fixed tariff of 3 euros per category will be levied on low value packages. Branding, compliance, and formal customs clearance have become the only options.

We provide full container load/less than container load (FCL), double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door one-stop services to help you go global in compliance.
