Tools

• check_anti_dumping

  Check whether a UK anti-dumping or countervailing measure applies to goods from China on a commodity code, from the live UK Trade Tariff. Deliberately gives no rate, because it depends on the exporter.

  shallow
• check_export_market

  For a destination country, say what actually decides whether an import from China can happen there: a standards regulator, a bank through exchange control, a local trade licence, the tax authority, a risk-based check at import, or the buyer's own choice of where conformity is checked. Also says whether a missed requirement can be put right on arrival. Returns status not-verified, with no guess, for countries Cambridge China Bridge has not researched from primary sources. Call with no country to list the researched markets.

  shallow
• compare_sea_and_air

  Compare air and sea freight on total landed cost rather than on the freight quote: includes duty charged on the freight itself, the cost of capital tied up in transit, and profit lost while stock is unavailable. Also returns the weekly lost profit at which the two routes cost the same.

  shallow
• estimate_container_space

  Estimate CBM, shipment weight and volume-only 20ft/40ft/high-cube container counts from one carton line. Useful for full-container RFQ planning; not a loading simulation or a freight quote.

  shallow
• estimate_landed_cost

  Estimate customs value, UK import duty, import VAT and the total for goods imported from China, with the same arithmetic as the site's import duty calculator.

  shallow
• find_duty_rate

  Find the UK commodity code and import duty rate for a product from China, from a product description (English or Chinese) or a commodity code. Also flags codes where China-specific anti-dumping or countervailing duty exists.

  shallow
• find_uk_compliance

  List the UK regulatory regimes (UKCA, WEEE, PSTI, toy safety, food contact, REACH, packaging EPR and others) that apply to a type of product imported from China, with what to ask the supplier for. Call with no product_type to list the product types.

  shallow
• plan_around_chinese_new_year

  Work backwards from the date stock is needed to the date a China order must be placed, against the real Chinese New Year factory shutdown rather than the statutory holiday. Says whether the plan collides with the closure, and gives the latest order date that avoids it.

  shallow
• search_guides

  Search Cambridge China Bridge's guides to importing from China to the UK (duty and VAT, shipping, Incoterms, suppliers, quality, compliance, sectors). Returns each guide's one-sentence answer and URL.

  shallow
• submit_enquiry

  Send the user's sourcing enquiry or quote request to Cambridge China Bridge by email; they reply to the user directly. Only call this when the user has asked to contact them, after showing the user exactly what will be sent and getting their agreement. Every field must come from the user; never invent contact details.
