The tax rate of the import tariff for electromechanical agency is not fixed and may vary greatly depending on the specific category and use of the electromechanical products. Taking common electromechanical equipment for industrial production as an example, the general tax rate is around 0 - 20%. When calculating the tariff, it is usually the dutiable value multiplied by the tariff rate. The dutiable value is generally the CIF price (cost, insurance and freight) of the goods.
In addition to the tariff, value-added tax is also involved, generally 13%. If the electromechanical product is a consumer tax taxable product, consumer tax also needs to be paid. However, most common industrial electromechanical equipment is not subject to consumer tax. You can accurately query the specific tax rate through the "Commodity Information Inquiry" section on the official website of the General Administration of Customs according to the commodity code, or consult a professional customs brokerage company like Zhongshitong, who can provide more accurate and detailed information.

Indeed, the import tariff for electromechanical products depends on the specific commodity code, and each code corresponds to a different tax rate. You can first determine the commodity code of the product, so that the tax rate can be queried more accurately. Some electromechanical equipment may have tariff preferential policies, and you need to understand them in advance.

In addition to the tariff and value-added tax, there may also be some miscellaneous fees, such as port construction fees, terminal handling fees, etc. But these fees account for a relatively small proportion compared to the tariff and value-added tax. First, determine the accurate information of the product, and the tariff can be calculated more precisely.

The key to calculating the tariff is to determine the dutiable value. In addition to the CIF price, some additional costs such as packaging fees and royalties, if meeting the conditions, also need to be included in the dutiable value. Pay attention to this aspect.

If you import electromechanical products from a country with a free trade agreement, you may enjoy the agreement tax rate, which is even lower than the most-favored-nation tax rate. Check if there is a relevant agreement with the supplying country.
