How is the tax rate of import customs declaration agency fees calculated? Does anyone know?
Our company recently has a batch of goods to import and plans to find a customs declaration agency company to handle the customs declaration matters. But we are not very clear about how the tax rate of import customs declaration agency fees is calculated. We want to know whether the calculation of this tax rate is related to the type of goods or if there is a unified standard. In addition, will it be affected by the region where the customs declaration agency company is located? I hope that friends who know the ropes can answer in detail. Thank you!

The calculation of the tax rate of import customs declaration agency fees is relatively complex. First of all, customs declaration agency fees do not fall within the category of the tax rate of goods or labor services. It belongs to the brokerage and agency services in modern service industries. The applicable tax rate for general taxpayers is 6%, and the applicable levy rate for small-scale taxpayers is 3%.
As for the tax rate related to goods, it varies greatly depending on the type of goods. For example, common food items may be subject to a tax rate of 13%, and some agricultural products are 9%. Moreover, different commodity customs codes are different, and the corresponding tax rates are also different. The accurate tax rate needs to be determined according to the HS code of the specific commodity.
The region where the customs declaration agency company is located usually does not affect the tax rate, because the tax rate is determined by the unified national tax policy and will not change due to different regions.
