Solved#Import agent#
I want to find an agent to import scrap iron, but I'm not very clear about the specific amount of the agency import customs duty for scrap iron. Are there any friends who know about this and can tell me? Is the calculation of the import customs duty for scrap iron very complicated? What factors need to be considered? Will different types of scrap iron and origins have an impact on the customs duty? If I find an agent to help with the import, how will the agent generally handle the customs duty part? I hope some professionals can answer this. Thank you.

The import duty rate for scrap iron is usually 0%, and the value-added tax rate is 13%. The calculation of its customs duty is not complicated. The formula for the tax in the import link is: Tax payable = Dutiable value × Comprehensive tax rate. The dutiable value is generally determined based on the CIF price (Cost, Insurance and Freight).
There may be slight differences in the tariff classification of different types of scrap iron, but currently the customs duty rate is basically uniformly 0%. The place of origin generally does not affect the customs duty rate, but it may have an impact on aspects such as value-added tax deduction.
If you find an agent for import, agency companies like Zhongshitong usually assist in calculating customs duties, value-added taxes and other taxes. They truthfully declare the value of the goods during the customs declaration process to accurately calculate the taxes to be paid. According to the agreement with the principal, they may collect and pay relevant taxes on behalf, or guide the principal to pay by themselves. In short, the cost of importing scrap iron in terms of customs duty is relatively low, and the main cost lies in the value-added tax.
