| 8537 — Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with electrical apparatus, for electric control or distribution of electricity (commonly used for EVSE in CN → EU trade; final classification is decided by Polish customs at declaration) | EU Common Customs Tariff → TARIC Poland | 2026-09-21 | PENDING — lookup |
- Customs duty (EU TARIC, Poland):
PENDING — lookup. Confirm against the EU TARIC consultation page for the exact 10-digit TARIC code, MFN duty rate, and any preferential treatment (e.g. GSP, EU–China agreement in force). | Official portal: European Commission TARIC | URL: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/taric/taric_consultation.jsp | accessed 2026-09-21. - VAT (Poland, KAS):

8 · Payback & sensitivity (arithmetic shown, ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE)
Inputs disclosed (illustrative):
- Retail sell price to end-user in Poland (excl. VAT, incl. installation margin): PENDING — lookup
- End-user electricity tariff (residential, PLN/kWh): PENDING — lookup
- Alternative cost per km (ICE baseline or public DC tariff): PENDING — lookup
- Utilisation (kWh delivered per month per unit): PENDING — lookup
- Installer labour & materials for residential 7 kW wallbox: PENDING — lookup
Worked formula (illustrative — plug buyer-confirmed values in):
Annual gross margin per unit
= (Retail − Wholesale landed cost) × annual units sold
Payback (years) on first installation
= Installation + CapEx(landed)
÷ (Annual gross margin + Annual service / energy revenue share)
Sensitivity grid (illustrative — replace placeholders with buyer inputs):
| Utilisation (kWh/month) | CapEx landed (EUR/unit) | Retail (EUR/unit) | Payback (years) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PENDING | PENDING | PENDING | PENDING |
| PENDING | PENDING | PENDING | PENDING |
| PENDING | PENDING | PENDING | PENDING |

11 · FAQ
Q1. What is the typical landed cost of a 7 kW residential EV charger imported from China to Poland?
Landed cost = FOB unit price + allocated international freight + marine insurance + EU customs duty (per TARIC) + VAT + customs broker + inland haulage. Duty and VAT must be confirmed against the EU TARIC portal (see §7).
Q2. Do I need CE marking to import 7 kW EV chargers into Poland?
Yes. CE marking, issued by the manufacturer (or its authorised representative), is mandatory for EVSE placed on the EU market under the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS directives, plus RED if the SKU has radio. | Src: European Commission — CE marking | URL: https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/ce-marking_en | accessed 2026-09-21.
Q3. Which Incoterm® 2020 is most common for EVSE shipments from China to Poland?
FOB and CIF are common for sea freight into Gdansk / Gdynia; DAP and DDP are used when the seller arranges final delivery or cleared status in Poland. Select based on who controls customs clearance and freight risk.
Q4. How long is the payback on a residential 7 kW charger?
Payback depends on CapEx (landed), installation labour, utilisation in kWh/month, retail margin and revenue share from charging services. The illustrative sensitivity grid in §8 must be populated with buyer-confirmed numbers. It is not a quote.
Q5. What is the MOQ for the EVSE-AC-7KW?
OEM export MOQ is SKU / firmware / colour dependent and is confirmed in the PI returned against the RFQ. Typical AC EVSE export programs start at 100 units per SKU.
Q6. What documents ship with each order?
Commercial invoice, packing list, CE Declaration of Conformity, applicable test reports (per directive), HS / origin declaration for HS 8537, and (on request) certificates from the issuing Notified Body or test laboratory.
