Is it legal to buy goods from China and import them?

Yes. Buying goods abroad and importing them is ordinary trade in every country we serve. What is illegal is under-declaring value, mis-describing goods to avoid duty, importing counterfeits, or importing restricted items without a permit. The obligations fall on the importer — you — which is why the invoice and the declaration have to be accurate. We ship with real values and real descriptions, and we tell you when an item needs a permit or cannot legally enter your country. If you are importing commercially, you may need an EORI number in the EU or UK, a resale certificate in the US, or an importer number in Brazil. We can point you at the requirement, but the registration is yours.

• Importing is legal; mis-declaring is not
• Counterfeits and restricted goods are refused
• Commercial importers may need an EORI or importer number
