The taxes and fees involved in the agency for imported furniture mainly include tariffs and value-added tax. The tariff rate varies according to the material and use of the furniture. Generally, the tariff rate for solid wood furniture is around 0 - 10%. For example, wooden furniture imported from countries that have signed preferential trade agreements with China may enjoy a 0% tariff. The current value-added tax rate is generally 13%.
When calculating taxes and fees, Tariff = Dutiable value × Tariff rate, and Value-added tax = (Dutiable value + Tariff) × Value-added tax rate. The dutiable value here usually refers to the CIF price (Cost, Insurance and Freight) of the goods.
For example, for a batch of solid wood tables and chairs with a CIF price of 100,000 yuan, if the tariff rate is 5%, the tariff is 100,000 × 5% = 5,000 yuan, and the value-added tax is (100,000 + 5,000) × 13% = 13,650 yuan. The total taxes and fees are 5,000 + 13,650 = 18,650 yuan. The specific taxes and fees may vary depending on the actual situation of the furniture and the determination of the customs. It is recommended to consult professional agency companies such as Zhongshitong in detail before import.

In addition to what was mentioned above, the tax rates for different types of furniture vary quite a bit. For furniture made of special materials or with special craftsmanship, the tariff may be higher. And if the declared price is unreasonable and the customs re-evaluates it, the taxes and fees will also change.

It also depends on the quantity of imports. If the quantity is large, the overall taxes and fees will be more. In addition, sometimes consumption tax may be involved, but generally, common furniture rarely has consumption tax.

The place of origin also has an impact. If it is originally from a most-favored nation, the tax rate is relatively fixed and may have preferential treatment. The tax rate for non-most-favored nations will be higher.

Agent import may also involve agency fees. Although not taxes and fees, they are also part of the import cost, and different agents charge differently.
