The import duty rate for plastic mold agency import is not fixed and will vary depending on the specific classification of the mold and the country of origin. Generally, plastic molds have specific tariff number classifications in the Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China. For example, for common plastic injection molds, if they originate from countries or regions that have signed most-favored-nation treatment clauses with China, the tariff rate may be around 8%. However, if it is a plastic mold for special purposes, with a different classification tariff number, the tax rate will also be different.
In addition to the tariff, VAT also needs to be paid for imports. The VAT rate is usually 13%. When calculating the tax payable in the import link, the tariff amount = dutiable value × tariff rate; the VAT amount = (dutiable value + tariff amount) × VAT rate. It is recommended to confirm the specific tariff rate with the customs through professional agencies like Zhongshitong based on the detailed information of the mold before import to ensure accurate cost accounting.
