Solved#Import agent#
I plan to import aviation molds through an agency and would like to know what the tariff is in this regard. I haven't been involved in the import of such products before and don't know on what basis the tariff rate is determined. Will there be significant differences in the tariffs for different types of aviation molds? Also, is the calculation method for the import tariff through agency complicated? I hope friends who are knowledgeable in this area can give me a detailed explanation.

The import tariff rate for aviation molds is not fixed. It mainly depends on the specific customs code of the molds. Aviation molds with different uses, materials, and functions have different corresponding customs codes and different tariff rates. For example, for some simple molds for aviation components, the tariff may be between 5% - 10%, while for complex high-precision molds, the tax rate may be higher.
To calculate the import tariff through agency, the formula is: Tariff Amount = Duty-paid Price × Tariff Rate. The duty-paid price is generally determined based on the CIF price (Cost, Insurance, and Freight). If the declared price is deemed reasonable by the customs after review, it will be used as the duty-paid price. In addition, besides tariffs, value-added tax may also be involved, which is generally 13%. It is recommended that you first clarify the specific information of the aviation molds and consult professional agencies such as Zhongshitong to obtain the accurate customs code and tax rate for better cost accounting.

For import tariffs, it also depends on whether there is a relevant trade agreement signed with our country. The products from some agreement countries may have preferential tariffs. You need to first determine the country of origin of the molds.

You can go to the official website of the customs to check the relevant tariff schedules. Enter the approximate mold category, and you can find the corresponding tax rate range. However, to be accurate, you still need to determine the customs code.

Don't forget that when calculating the tariff, if the freight, insurance premiums, etc. are not included in the declared price, the customs will adjust it according to the law before calculating the tariff.

Different technical parameters of aviation molds result in different tariffs. For molds with special processes, the tariff is different from that of ordinary molds.

Sometimes there are disputes over the determination of the duty-paid price by the customs. You need to have relevant price basis to support your declared price.

In the import process, besides tariffs and value-added tax, there may be consumption tax in individual cases. However, aviation molds are generally rarely involved.
