Polish e-commerce importing apparel from China — €25k shipment landed cost breakdown

apparelCN→PLno preferential12% MFN

A Polish e-commerce founder ordering 800 kg of cotton apparel monthly from a Guangzhou supplier. Customs value €25,000 per shipment, 12 shipments/year. The classic SME entry case — no preferential pathway from China, full 12% MFN duty applies, no anti-dumping measures on apparel. The wizard composes the full landed cost and surfaces alternative origins where preferential pathways would save the duty.
