The import tariff rate for process molds will vary depending on the specific type, material, etc. of the molds. Generally speaking, the common import tariff rate for process molds is around 8% - 15%. For example, for injection molds or compression molds used for plastics or rubber, the tariff may be 8%; for metal casting flask, pattern plate, etc., the tariff may be 10% - 15%.
The formula for calculating the tariff is: Tariff Amount = Duty-paid Price × Tariff Rate. The duty-paid price here is usually the CIF price (Cost, Insurance and Freight).
In terms of agent imports, as long as the relevant regulations are complied with, there are no special tariff policies. However, if the molds meet specific tax reduction and exemption policies, such as meeting the import tax exemption policy for equipment related to industries encouraged by the state, the agent import can also apply for tariff reduction or exemption according to the regulations. It is recommended to consult professional agent import companies like Zhongshitong for specific situations, as they can accurately provide tariff information based on the actual situation of the molds.
