The import tariff rate of quartz sand may vary depending on the tax number of the specific product. Generally, the most-favored-nation tariff rate for ordinary quartz sand import is 3%, and the general tariff rate is 40%. If the country of origin of the imported quartz sand belongs to a country or region that has signed relevant trade agreements with China, it can enjoy the corresponding agreement tariff rate, which may be lower than the most-favored-nation tariff rate.
Besides the tariff, a value-added tax also needs to be paid. The value-added tax rate for quartz sand import is usually 13%. The type, quality, etc. of quartz sand generally do not directly affect the tariff rate, but different types may correspond to different tax numbers and thus affect the rate. And the place of origin will determine whether the agreement tariff rate can be enjoyed according to whether it meets the provisions of the preferential trade agreement. Before importing, it is recommended to accurately determine the commodity code of quartz sand so as to clarify the situation of related taxes and fees such as the tariff rate.
When finding an agency to import, it is also necessary to ensure that the agency can accurately handle matters related to tax declaration, etc.

You can query the specific quartz sand tariff rate on the official website of the Chinese Customs. You can find the approximate range by entering relevant product information. Besides the tariff and value-added tax, there may also be some miscellaneous fees involved, such as port fees. However, port fees are not taxes and fees, but the fees charged by the port operation.
