Denmark is a high consumption market in Northern Europe, with mature routes to Copenhagen and Aarhus ports. But the export of branded clothing and textiles to Denmark will face three hard rules in 2026- the EU will cancel the 150 euro tariff exemption, Denmark has no threshold for 25% value-added tax, and labels must be in Danish. The link of "low declaration and small package" has been completely terminated, and branding and formal customs clearance 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 seize the Nordic clothing market.

1、 Shenzhen to Denmark branded clothing and textile sea freight prices and delivery time: Copenhagen/Aarhus dedicated line

Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen/Nansha in Guangzhou/Dongguan Port, the direct journey to Copenhagen Port or Aarhus Port in Denmark takes about 30-40 days. The full container load chain takes about 35-50 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 40-55 days. The efficiency of electronic customs clearance in Denmark is relatively high, with a standard lead time of about 1-3 days. During the peak season (June September), cabin availability is tight. It is recommended to book 3-4 weeks in advance.

1. One fixed price package: ocean freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+Danish import customs clearance+12% import tariff+25% value-added tax (Moms)+final delivery. The HS codes for clothing and textiles are classified under Chapter 61 (Knitted) and Chapter 62 (Woven).

2. Key points of Danish clothing and textile taxes and fees:

-Import tariff: Implementing the EU unified common external tariff, the most favored nation tariff rate for clothing and textiles (HS Chapters 61-62) is 12%, calculated based on the CIF value (value of goods+freight+insurance).

-Value added tax (Moms): Denmark's value-added tax rate is 25%, which is one of the highest levels in the European Union. Denmark has no VAT threshold and no reduced tax rates. All imported goods, regardless of their value, are subject to a 25% value-added tax. Value added tax is calculated at (CIF price+customs duty) x 25%. Holding a Danish VAT number can apply for deferred import value-added tax, and there is no need to actually pay taxes during customs clearance. Instead, quarterly declaration and deduction are required.

-Starting from July 1, 2026, the EU will cancel the 150 euro tariff exemption, and low value packages sent from non EU countries to Denmark will be subject to a fixed tariff of 3 euros per tariff category (with the same HS code). Multiple items in the same category will be charged as one category (3 euros), while different categories will be taxed separately. Transition period until July 1, 2028.

>Cost warning: The comprehensive tax and fee for Danish clothing and textiles is about 37% (tariff 12%+VAT 25%). Taking CIF value of € 10000 as an example: customs duty of € 1200, VAT calculated as (€ 10000+€ 1200) x 25%=€ 2800, total tax of € 4000. Danish VAT has no threshold and the tax rate is as high as 25%. It is recommended that exporters include all taxes and fees in the quotation cost in advance.
