About importing from China

Parcels from China (AliExpress, Shein, Temu) usually go through postal customs clearance and can take 1-3 weeks; duty is assessed on the actual value, not the value printed on the paperwork.

China is covered by an EEA/EFTA free-trade agreement with Iceland, meaning goods with valid proof of origin can carry reduced or zero duty โ€” VAT is still always charged.
