Customs clearance requires EORI number, commercial invoice (including 8-digit HS code), packing list, original bill of lading, and brand authorization letter.

Germany is the largest clothing consumer market in the European Union, and the demand for branded bags and jerseys among fashion consumers in Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt has remained stable. But the compliance review of imported textiles by German customs is considered the most detailed in Europe - EORI is not bound to VAT, and freight forwarders cannot even submit declarations; The labels were not marked with German durability according to the regulations of 1007/2011, and the entire batch was required to rectify it; The brand authorization letter lacks notarization, and the customs directly deducts the goods for infringement. We pass these checkpoints for our customers before shipping.

1、 Shenzhen to Germany, sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight prices, timeliness

1. Shipping time from Shenzhen to German sub brand bags and jerseys by sea

We are rooted in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen for container loading, and can handle both FCL and LCL shipments. Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou or Dongguan Port, the direct flight to Hamburg and Bremen Port takes about 25-35 days. Door to door delivery for the entire container takes about 30-45 days (including customs clearance and delivery), and LCL takes about 35-50 days. During the peak season from June to September, cabin availability may be tight, so booking 3-4 weeks in advance is more relaxed.

2. Shenzhen to Germany sub brand bags and jerseys sea freight prices

The quoted price includes all costs, including sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, German customs clearance, customs duties, 19% value-added tax (VAT), and final delivery. It should be calculated clearly before signing the contract and no additional charges will be incurred thereafter.

3. Shenzhen to German sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight taxes and fees

Starting from July 1, 2026, there will be a change in the EU tariff rules that directly affects the cost structure: the tariff exemption previously enjoyed by imported packages under 150 euros will be officially cancelled, and a fixed tariff of 3 euros per tariff category will be levied, with a transition period lasting until July 2028. This means that regardless of the value of the goods, as long as they enter the EU customs, tariffs and a 19% VAT cannot escape. The basic tariff for German clothing (HS chapters 61-62) is about 12%. The standard VAT rate is 19%, calculated as (CIF price+customs duty) x 19%. The calculation formula for import value-added tax by German customs is: EUSt=(value of goods+freight+insurance+customs duty) x 19%.

2、 Shenzhen to German sub brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance documents and processes: four checkpoints, none of which can be relaxed

First level: EORI number and German VAT - entry ticket for customs clearance

German customs require all importers to hold a valid EORI number, with a declared value of ≥ 22 euros, and to provide the recipient's EORI code in the invoice. Without this number, customs clearance cannot be completed. EORI is the unified customs identification number of the European Union, in the format of "DE"+VAT number, which is commonly used in all EU member states. EORI can be applied for online through the German Customs portal, and registration must be completed using the enterprise ELSTER certificate. When using DDP double clearance and tax inclusive services, the freight forwarder acts as the importer to complete EORI related administrative work. EORI information must be confirmed in place before shipment.

Second level: German textile labeling - mandatory requirement of regulation 1007/2011

Germany implements EU Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 domestically through the Textile Labeling Act (TextilKennzG). This regulation requires textiles to be labeled with fiber composition in German, indicating the percentage of each fiber, and the labels must be durable and firmly attached. The label must include fiber composition, origin "Made in China", and manufacturer/importer information. Bag products containing leather components must be labeled as "containing non textile animal derived components". German law also requires manufacturers and importers to keep fiber composition related documents for two years for future reference.

Third level: Brand authorization - EU intellectual property customs protection

The EU Intellectual Property Border Enforcement Regulation allows German customs to proactively detain goods suspected of trademark infringement. German customs not only intercept counterfeit products, but also illegal parallel imported goods. Brand bags and brand jerseys must be accompanied by a brand authorization letter, which must specify the authorizing party, authorized party, product scope, and validity period. It is recommended to attach an English notarization to comply with the language requirements of German customs. The declared information must be consistent with the authorization document - any mismatch in brand name, category, or value of goods may trigger customs intellectual property inspection.

Fourth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port (our German cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):

German Customs follows the EU Uniform Customs Code, and import declarations are processed electronically through the ATLAS system (Automatic Customs and Local Clearance System).

1. EORI/VAT confirmation (before shipment): Confirm that the importer EORI is bound to German VAT, and in DDP mode, the freight forwarder acts as the IOR to complete the registration

2. Pre review of documents (during transportation): Submit the complete set of customs clearance documents to the agent for early review, and complete the German compliance verification of the label content

3. ATLAS electronic declaration (before arrival): To submit an import declaration through the ATLAS system, an EORI number must be provided

4. Customs valuation and inspection: Conventional goods are automatically compared with declaration information and databases through the system, and over 90% can be cleared within 1-2 hours; High risk categories trigger manual inspection, reserve 3-5 working days

5. Tax payment release: payment of customs duties on behalf of others+19% value-added tax, compliant release

6. End delivery: Delivery throughout Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Hamburg

Fourth level: List of customs clearance documents

Customs clearance document list: original/electronic bill of lading, commercial invoice (including complete project description and EORI code), packing list, brand authorization letter (with English notarization), importer EORI and German VAT number, certificate of origin, fumigation certificate for wooden packaging (if applicable).

3、 Shipping bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to Germany via sea with six red lines, even touching one would be troublesome

1. EORI is not bound to German VAT - customs clearance is directly stuck

German customs require all importers to hold a valid EORI, with a declared value of ≥ 22 euros to be provided on the invoice. EORI must be bound to a German VAT number and its status must be confirmed to be valid before shipment.

2. The label does not comply with 1007/2011- German labeling is indispensable

The fiber composition must be labeled with percentages in German, and the labels must be durable and sturdy. The leather components of the bag must be labeled as "including non textile animal derived components". Non compliant labels will trigger compliance review by the German Trade Inspection Agency.

3. Brand authorization letter lacks notarization - Customs does not recognize it

German customs require authorization letters to clearly define the scope of authorization, and it is recommended to attach English notarization. Unauthorized goods are at risk of destruction after being seized.

4. New tariff policy in July 2026- cancellation of small exemptions

Starting from July 1, 2026, the tariff exemption for packages below 150 euros will be officially cancelled and replaced with a fixed tariff of 3 euros per tariff category. Even if the value of a single item is very low, as long as it enters the EU customs territory, tariffs and 19% VAT need to be paid.

5. General description of commercial invoices - common reasons for customs inspection

Commercial invoices must have a complete line item description, including product description, HS code, country of origin, unit price, and currency. Vague or vague descriptions are common triggering factors for German customs inspections.

6. Wooden packaging without IPPC logo - EU unified standard

Germany implements the EU ISPM 15 standard, which requires solid wood pallets and wooden boxes to undergo heat treatment (HT). The core temperature of the wood must reach 56 ℃ for at least 30 minutes and be marked with IPPC. Germany currently does not allow the use of bromomethane fumigation for wooden packaging. Suggest prioritizing the use of plywood fumigation free pallets.

3、 Shenzhen to Germany sub brand bags and jerseys sea freight packaging requirements: three-layer protection, according to brand standards

1. Three layer protection: Brand bags and jerseys have a high value, can float on the sea for 30-40 days, and the packaging can withstand it.

|First layer: Inner packaging | football jersey cover with dust-proof bag folded up; Put the brand dust bag in the bag, with paper balls stuffed inside to support the shape of the bag. Don't damage the hang tag washing label|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | the box is filled with enough cushioning materials (foam, bubble film, pearl cotton), and the goods cannot be shaken in the box|

|Third layer: outer box reinforcement | cardboard box, do not use soft packaging. Single box should not exceed 30kg, and single side should not exceed 150cm. The box should be sealed with a "worker" shape and the tape should be ≥ 5cm

2. Wooden packaging: Solid wood must undergo ISPM 15 heat treatment (at 56 ℃ for at least 30 minutes) and be labeled with IPPC (including treatment company number, treatment method code HT, and country code). Germany does not recognize bromomethane fumigation and requires heat treatment. Suggest using plywood fumigation free trays or plastic trays directly to save time and money.

3. Special requirements for German/EU labeling:

-German label fiber composition, percentage must be indicated

-Origin landmark "Made in China"

-The leather part of the bag must be labeled as "containing non textile animal derived components" (if applicable)

-The washing instructions must be clear and readable
