Please excuse my cynicism. Perhaps someone knows the proper answer to your question.

when you say taxes, I presume you mean import duties.
details can be found here.

It depends.... for example, how you bring the goods in?, by post such as DHL, UPS, FED ex etc, it will usually be about 20% of value, plus couriers handling fees, by boat it's much more expensive and not worth the hassle unless you bring in a containers worth.

All I will say is that a british supermarket is now charging 2 euros to the pound sterling on its prices so an item that cost 1 GBP in UK is priced at 2 euros here. When challenged they blame import tax..........seems like profiteering to me.....

I hope these 'goods' are not some you plan to purchase from a website offering cheap electrical goods.

This contains a virus/worm and would have come via one of your msn contacts - be careful. I got caught, my Spanish solicitor passed it to me via messenger.

Some months on a friend's computer got it and a message came from him - I was ready this time! Warned him to tell his friends not to open link.

Hopefully your proposed goods are kosher.....

There will be Customs duties on all Chinese imports, in common with all EEC countries.
There will also be IVA payable, all on importation before customs clearance.
These import duties will vary according to commodity, and in the case of perishables will vary according to season. I would suggest trying to contact a Customs Broker / Freight agent either at Malaga airport or Malaga port. They have import tariffs they use regularly.
