Regarding tariffs, the most - favored - nation tariff is 15% and the value - added tax is 9%. The specific tariff needs to be determined according to the place of origin. If the preferential tariff rate is applicable, the tariff may be lower.

A large import volume will affect the cost. If the volume is large, some fees, such as the customs declaration fee, will be less when averaged out. And a large volume may also enable the negotiation of a more favorable price in transportation.
