The import tariffs for brand - new plastic raw materials will vary according to the specific commodity code. First of all, it is necessary to accurately classify the plastic raw materials. For example, different materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene have different codes. Generally speaking, the tariff rate is around 6.5% - 10%, but this is not absolute and should be based on the actual goods.
The calculation method of import tariffs is: Tariff amount = Dutiable value × Tariff rate. The dutiable value is usually determined based on the CIF price (Cost, Insurance and Freight).
As for agent imports, there are no special preferential policies on tariffs. Agents mainly assist in handling customs declaration and other procedures to ensure the compliance and smoothness of the import process. However, professional agents like Zhongshitong can accurately classify goods based on experience, avoiding over - payment or under - payment of tariffs due to misclassification, and can also help enterprises reasonably plan logistics and other costs.
