The import tariff rate for environmentally friendly timber agency may vary due to factors such as the type of timber and the country of origin. First of all, different types of timber have different corresponding customs codes, and the tariff rates are different. For example, there is a large difference in tariffs between rosewood and ordinary softwood. Secondly, the country of origin is also a key factor. If the country has signed a free trade agreement with China, it may enjoy a lower or even zero tariff. For example, for radiata pine from New Zealand, the import tariff may be relatively low.
Generally speaking, the calculation method of the tariff is: tariff amount = dutiable value × tariff rate. The dutiable value is usually determined based on the CIF price (cost, insurance and freight). For actual operations, it is recommended that you consult a professional agency import company like Zhongshitong. They can accurately calculate the tariff based on the specific type of timber you want to import, the country of origin and other detailed information.

Besides the type of timber and the country of origin, the import volume also matters. Sometimes, if the volume is large, there may be a slight adjustment in the tariff policy, but the range is generally not large.
