What is the import tariff for scrap iron agency? Come and find out!
Solved#Import agent#
I want to find an agency to import scrap iron, but I'm not very clear about the situation of import tariffs. I would like to ask how much the tariff is usually when importing scrap iron through an agency. Is there any standard for calculating this tariff? Will there be differences due to different types and origins of scrap iron? In addition, besides the tariff, are there any other related taxes and fees that need to be paid together? I hope to get a professional and detailed answer. Thank you!

The import tariff rate for scrap iron is usually 0%. However, it should be noted that although the tariff is 0, VAT still needs to be paid during the import process. The VAT rate is generally 13%.
The calculation method is based on the dutiable value of the imported goods. The dutiable value refers to the price determined by the customs through valuation after examination or assessment of the imported and exported goods according to relevant regulations. It is the basis for the customs to levy tariffs. For example, if the declared price of imported scrap iron is 1 million yuan, then the VAT to be paid = 100×13% = 130,000 yuan.
The type and origin of scrap iron usually do not affect the tariff rate as the tariff rate does not distinguish between them. But in actual operation, factors such as the quality of scrap iron from different origins may affect its declared price, thus affecting the amount of VAT paid. When looking for an agency to import, make sure the agency clearly understands the calculation of these taxes and fees to avoid problems later.
