The tariff rate for agented textile imports varies depending on the specific type, composition, and use of the textile products.
Take common pure cotton fabrics as an example. If it is pure cotton woven fabric, the general tariff rate may be around 10% - 16%, and at the same time, a 13% value-added tax may also be required to be paid. For chemical fiber fabrics, like polyester fiber woven fabrics, the tariff rate is approximately 5% - 10%, and the value-added tax is also 13%.
The formula for calculating import duty is: Duty amount = Dutiable value × Tariff rate. Here, the dutiable value is generally the CIF price (cost, insurance, and freight) of the goods. To accurately know the amount of duty, it is necessary to first determine the detailed commodity code of the textile products. The corresponding tariff rate can be queried on the customs official website through the commodity code. When finding an agent for import, an agent company like Zhongshitong will assist in determining the commodity code and the accurate tax rate to ensure the smooth progress of the import process.

The import duty of textile products is also related to the place of origin. If it is from a country with a free trade agreement with China, the tariff may be preferential, or even zero. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the place of origin situation before import.
