Here's the deal: the closer the countries, the more viable road transport becomes. For businesses, it's like picking a sturdy van over a flashy jet - closer, easier, and often more cost-effective.

It balances cost while providing the opportunity to ship goods as needed without the need for storage.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example: <\/strong>Say you're exporting handmade glassware. Even securely packaged, your product only occupies 12 CBM. Rather than paying for a half-empty full container, you consolidate your LCL shipment with other goods going to the same destination: Slovakia.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications: <\/strong>With LCL freight, you pay only for the container space you use. This makes it affordable for smaller volumes. However, remember that there may be additional charges at the destination for deconsolidation, the process of separating your goods from others in the container.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-8997-7-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-8997-7-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"13\" ><div class=\"custom-colors featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-8997-7-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span>FCL: Full Container Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> FCL, or <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/sea-freight-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Full Container Load<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, is a type of ocean freight where one shipper solely occupies a container. This option is typically used for larger shipments and allows you to seal your goods at the point of origin till they reach their destination, increasing safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> FCL shipping is best utilized when you've got substantial cargo, typically more than 13\/14\/15 CBM. That's because, unlike with LCL or 'Less than Container Load', you're not sharing space with others. This not only reduces the risk of potential damage but also potentially speeds up delivery.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Consider a UK-based furniture manufacturer exporting a large order of chairs to Slovakia. Using a 20'ft or a 40'ft container, they could ship their assembly in one go, ensuring the safety of their merchandise and a quicker, more reliable delivery.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> FCL may seem costlier initially when you obtain an FCL shipping quote, but it's more economical for larger shipments. The rate is charged per container, not per cubic meter of goods. Therefore, the more you're shipping, the cheaper your cost per unit becomes. It's important to factor in these specifics when evaluating FCL versus LCL. Remember, securing an FCL container also means fewer customs issues and faster clearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-8997-8\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-8997-8\" ><div id=\"pgc-8997-8-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-8997-8-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-8997-8-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Facing a dilemma between consolidation or a full container from the UK to Slovakia?

For instance, if all your goods and their packaging weigh 45kg (approximately 99 lbs), then this is the gross weight of your shipment.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">The volumetric weight, in contrast, is calculated using a formula: the length (in cm) by the breadth by the height of the package divided by the industry standard divisor. For air cargo, the divisor is usually 6000. Therefore, if you have a box with dimensions 60cm x 50cm x 40cm, your volumetric weight will be (60x50x40)\/6000, which equates to 20kg (approximately 44 lbs).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">In Express Air Freight services, the divisor used to calculate the volumetric weight is typically 5000. Hence, the same box will have a volumetric weight of (60x50x40)\/5000, around 24kg (about 53 lbs).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It's crucial to understand these calculations because freight charges are often determined by the higher of the two weights - gross and volumetric weights. This ensures that carriers are compensated for both the weight and space a shipment consumes in their aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-8997-16\"

First, you need to gather crucial information such as the country of origin, the<span style=\"color: #920b13\"><strong> HS code<\/strong> <\/span>of your goods, the customs value, and the applicable tariff rate. You may also need to find out about any additional taxes or fees that may apply to your specific products.<\/p>\n<p>The kick-off point of this process is pinpointing the country where your goods were originally manufactured or produced. This is essential as it can impact the rules and regulations that apply to your shipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"48\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 1 - Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3>\n<p>No doubt you're keen on figuring out those tricky import costs. The first thing you need to lock down is the country of origin. It may seem straightforward, but there are five reasons why this is crucial even before you wrestle with the<a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/customs-clearance-services\/#Step_1_%E2%80%93_Obtain_the_HS_Code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Harmonized System (HS) code<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, it sets the stage for the correct calculation of duties. Secondly, it brings clarity on the applicable trade agreements. In the case of UK to Slovakia, the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA)<\/span><\/strong> ensures no tariffs on goods, provided they meet the 'rules of origin\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly, knowing the country of origin helps you understand import restrictions which, for Slovakia, include specific agricultural products from the UK. Fourthly, some duties vary depending on the product\u2019s origin. Lastly, certain privileges are accessible under bilateral trade agreements, reducing your overall cost.<\/p>\n<p>Trade rules can seem as confusing as a busy shipping yard, but getting on top of the details will save you time, hassle, and unnecessary costs.<br \/>\nSo, take a deep dive into this step, and soon, you\u2019ll navigate the high seas of international trade like a seasoned captain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"49\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 2 - Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Harmonized System (HS) Code<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, developed by the World Customs Organization, is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It\u2019s used by customs authorities around the globe to identify products and implement appropriate tariffs.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Now, if you're wondering where to find the HS Code for your product, the easiest approach is typically to ask your supplier.<\/strong><\/em> Given their familiarity with the goods they're importing and the associated regulations, they should be able to provide you with the code.<\/p>\n<p>But, if for some reason this isn't possible, not to worry. We've laid out an easy step-by-step process to find it:<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">1. Visit the Harmonized Tariff Schedule on the United States International Trade Commission site.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">2. In the search bar, simply type in the name of your product.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">3. Take a look at the 'Heading\/Subheading' column. This is where you'll find the HS code associated with your product.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It's important to note that accuracy is crucial when choosing your HS Code. An incorrect or imprecise code can lead to shipment delays and even possible customs fines.<\/p>\n<p>And if you're curious about understanding the HS code system in more depth, here's an infographic showing you how to read an HS code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"50\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-987 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png\" alt=\"hs code uk\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png 640w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-5\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"51\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 3 - Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3>\n<p>Understanding the concept of customs value is crucial as it's not simply about how much you paid for your products. Think of customs value as the total cost you incurred to have your goods delivered at Slovakia's door, all expressed in USD. It's different and often higher than the product value because it also encompasses the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">CIF - Cost, Insurance, and Freight<\/span><\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>For instance, if you bought a furniture item for $1,000 from the UK, and paid $200 for shipping, with an insurance cost of $50, your customs value isn't $1,000 but $1,250. This amount will be used to compute any duties or taxes you owe. Remember, accurately calculating your goods' customs value aids in a smoother customs clearance process in Slovakia.<\/strong><\/span> It's the small details that sometimes make the biggest difference!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"52\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 4 - Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3>\n<p>An import tariff is a tax levied by the importing country on the foreign goods entering its borders, primarily to regulate trade and protect domestic industries. In Slovakia, as an EU member state, they use the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) which applies to all goods imported from outside the EU.<\/p>\n<p>To identify the applicable import tariff for your goods, you should use the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><a style=\"color: #0e465f\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/taxation_customs\/dds2\/taric\/taric_consultation.jsp?Lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TARIC System - European Customs<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Enter the previously identified <span style=\"color: #0e465f\">HS code<\/span> and the country of origin, which is the UK, and it will provide the duties and taxes applicable to your product.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">Let's take a practical example. Imagine you are importing PVC handbags (HS Code 42022210). Assume the CIF (Cost, Insurance &amp; Freight) to Slovakia is $10,000. Enter these details into the TARIC consultation tool and it provides a tariff rate of 3%. Your import duties would be 3% of $10,000, which is $300.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember that import tariffs add to the cost of importing goods and are usually passed on to the consumer. Therefore, accurately identifying and calculating your import tariffs is key to financially efficient cross-border trading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-7\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"53\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 5 - Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>In your import journey from the UK to Slovakia, be aware of more than just the standard tariff rates. There might be extra import duties, specific to the country of origin and the type of product.<\/p>\n<p>One such fee is the excise duty, often levied on goods like tobacco, alcohol, or energy products. For instance, a batch of whisky may call for extra charges; but remember, this is just an example, actual rates may vary.<\/p>\n<p>You should also be ready for <span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>anti-dumping taxes<\/strong><\/span>. If your imported product is priced substantially lower than a similar Slovak product, you may incur this cost.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966\"><strong>Finally, don't forget the VAT (Value Added Tax). In Slovakia, the standard VAT rate is 20%, but some goods may have a reduced rate of 10%. As an example, if your product has a customs value of $5000, your VAT could be $1000 (standard rate), that's $5000 20% (again, this is an example).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Remember these additional import charges can have a significant impact on your budget. Stay one step ahead by factoring them into your transportation costs from early stages, ensuring a smoother import process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-8997-20-0-8\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"54\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 6 - Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3>\n<p>In step 6, understanding how to calculate Customs Duties is critical for your import process from the UK to Slovakia. The customs duties are derived from the 'customs value' of your goods, which is generally based on the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) price.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">Consider these examples: In Scenario 1, you have goods valued at $1000 with a duty rate of 5% but no VAT. Your customs dues would therefore be $50. In Scenario 2, suppose the same goods also carry a 20% VAT rate. You'd pay $50 in duties and $210 in VAT (since VAT applies to the total of goods value plus duties).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #339966\">Lastly, in Scenario 3, let's say anti-dumping taxes of 10% and an Excise Duty of 15% apply. You'll need to pay $50 for customs duties, $315 in VAT (including the anti-dumping and Excise Duty), $100 for anti-dumping taxes, and $150 for Excise Duty.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Customs duties can seem complex.

The UK contributed significantly, solidifying its position as one of Slovakia's top investors.
