Kitchen cabinetry

At the standard rates, wooden kitchen cabinets from China pay 50% (75% from 1 January 2027) plus anti-dumping and countervailing duties of about 270%, so most kitchens cost more landed than buying locally. A few factories have their own lower anti-dumping rate, which changes the sums: send us the factory or the design and we'll check its rate and confirm the landed cost in writing before you order. Stone benchtops, tapware and lighting can come from Foshan either way.

What a typical piece costs landed

At the standard duty rates, 10 metres of kitchen cabinets that sells for about $38,000 at luxury retail would land at about $46,188–$63,493 from Foshan, delivered: more than buying locally. That includes our sourcing, inspection and service fee (about 35% of the factory price), every duty at the China-wide rates, and its share of a 40′ container to your door through our logistics partner, priced from a SVIKARR client's full 40′ to Dallas in October 2026. A factory with its own lower anti-dumping rate changes the sums: we check it and confirm the landed cost in writing before you order.

What US customs and inspectors will ask for

  • Anti-dumping and countervailing cash deposits
  • Formaldehyde label for composite wood (TSCA Title VI)
  • Lacey Act declaration

Lead time and packing

Production takes 7–10 weeks after the deposit; made-to-order pieces need 4–6 weeks first for samples and sign-off. Carcasses flat-packed or assembled and crated; about 1 m³ per metre of cabinets. In Foshan we source them in the custom cabinetry factories (foshan).

Work it out for your home

How we work it out

For each category we take a typical piece (a sofa, a 10-seat dining table, 10 metres of kitchen cabinets…) at the retail level you choose, the price a Foshan factory charges for comparable materials and build, and land it properly: our sourcing, inspection and service fee (about 35% of the factory price), its share of a 40′ container (to a US home through our logistics partner, priced from a client's real shipment to Dallas in October 2026, adjusted to Los Angeles; to Sydney at index freight rates), insurance, every duty and tariff for the category, customs and port charges, GST in Australia, and delivery to the house.

The verdict also weighs things that don't show in the price: anti-dumping orders, bans (engineered stone in Australia), and certifications a plumber, electrician or inspector will ask for. "Usually buy locally" means the duties or rules make it a poor bet for most homes, not that it is impossible. "Check before buying" means the standard duties make it a poor buy, but a factory with its own lower rate or a different construction can change that: we check the factory and the classification and confirm the landed cost in writing before you order.
