Computer chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is weighing a potential expansion in Japan as tensions between China and the West continue to create challenges for the company, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Global leaders have voiced concern about Taiwan"s continued independence from China. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi"s recent trip to Taiwan seemed to further inflame tensions, with China"s government launching military drills and halting some Taiwanese imports in response.

"The U.S.-China trade conflict and the escalation of cross-Strait tensions have brought more serious challenges to all industries, including the semiconductor industry," TSMC Chairman Mark Liu said at an industry group event on Wednesday, according to Reuters.

TSMC isn"t the only tech manufacturer shifting production to areas that may feel a less direct influence from China. Apple said some of the new iPhone 14 would be manufactured by Foxconn in India. Foxconn, which has a large presence in China, also moved some Apple product assembly to Vietnam, Reuters reported in 2020.

In August 2019 and August 2020, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., returned two separate indictments charging five computer hackers, all of whom were residents and nationals of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), with computer intrusions affecting over 100 victim companies in the United States and abroad, including software development companies, computer hardware manufacturers, telecommunications providers, social media companies, video game companies, non-profit organizations, universities, think tanks, and foreign governments, as well as pro-democracy politicians and activists in Hong Kong.

“The department of Justice has used every tool available to disrupt the illegal computer intrusions and cyberattacks by these Chinese citizens,” said Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen.  “Regrettably, the Chinese communist party has chosen a different path of making China safe for cybercriminals so long as they attack computers outside China and steal intellectual property helpful to China.”

“Today’s announcement demonstrates the ramifications faced by the hackers in China but it is also a reminder to those who continue to deploy malicious cyber tactics that we will utilize every tool we have to administer justice,” said FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich. “The arrests in Malaysia are a direct result of partnership, cooperation and collaboration. As the cyber threat continues to evolve larger than any one agency can address, the FBI remains committed to being an indispensable partner to our federal, international and private sector partners to stop rampant cyber crime and hold those carrying out these kind of actions accountable.”

“The scope and sophistication of the crimes in these unsealed indictments is unprecedented. The alleged criminal scheme used actors in China and Malaysia to illegally hack, intrude and steal information from victims worldwide,” said Michael R. Sherwin, Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.  “As set forth in the charging documents, some of these criminal actors believed their association with the PRC provided them free license to hack and steal across the globe.  This scheme also contained a new and troubling cyber-criminal component – the targeting and utilization of gaming platforms to both defraud video game companies and launder illicit proceeds.”

Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s push to “win the battle” in core technologies and bolster China’s position as a tech superpower could beseverely undermined by Washington’s unprecedented steps to limit the sale of advanced chips and chip-making equipment to the country, analysts say.

On October 7, the Biden administration unveiled a sweeping set of export controls that ban Chinese companies from buying advanced chips and chip-making equipment without a license. The rule also restricts the ability of “US persons” — including American citizens or green card holders — to provide support for the “development or production” of chips at certain manufacturing facilities in China.

“The US moves are a major threat to China’s technological ambitions,” said Mark Williams and Zichun Huang, analysts at Capital Economics, in a recent research report. The analysts pointed out that the global semiconductor industry is “almost entirely” dependent on the United States and countries aligned with it for chip design, the tools that make them, and fabrication.

Previously, the US government has banned sales of certain tech products to specific Chinese companies, such as Huawei. It has also required some major US chip-making firms to halt their shipments to China. But the latest move is much more expansive and significant. It not only bars the export to China of advanced chips made anywhere in the world using US technology, but also blocks the export of the tools used to make them.

US President Joe Biden meets with China"s President Xi Jinping during a virtual summit from the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC, November 15, 2021.

With its Made in China 2025 road map, Beijing has set a target for China to become a global leader in a wide range of industries, including artificial intelligence (AI), 5G wireless, and quantum computing. At the Communist Party Congress earlier this month, where he secureda historic third term,Xi highlighted that the nation will prioritize tech and innovationand grow its talent pool to develop homegrown technologies.

“China will look to join the ranks of the world’s most innovative countries by 2035, with great self-reliance and strength in science and technology,” Xi said in the party congress report, released on October 16.

Dong said the latest US sanctions will make it harder for China to advance in AI as well as 5G, given the role advanced chips play in both industries.

Dane Chamorro, a partner at Control Risks, a global risk consultancy based in London, said such measures are usually “only enacted against ‘rogue regimes’” such as Iran and North Korea. The decision to use this against China is “unprecedented,” Chamorro said.

So far it’s not clear exactly how many American workers there are in China’s domestic chip industry. But an examination of company filings indicates that more than a dozen chip firms have senior executives holding US citizenship or green cards. At Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment China (AMEC), one of the country’s largest semiconductor equipment manufacturers, at least seven executives, including founder and chairman Gerald Yin, hold US citizenship, the latest company documents show.

If these senior executives depart, “this will create a leadership and technological void within China’s chipmaking industry,” Dong said, as the country loses executives with years of chipmaking experience in an industry with “one of the most complex manufacturing processes known to mankind.”

While much of the world’s chip manufacturing is centered in East Asia,China is reliant on foreign chips, especially for advanced processor and memory chips and related equipment.

It is the world’s largest importer of semiconductors, and has spent more money buying them than oil. In 2021, China bought a record $414 billion worth of chips, or more than 16% of the value of its total imports, according to government statistics.

(ASMIY), the Dutch semiconductor equipment supplier, said Wednesday that it expected the export restrictions will affect more than 40% of its sales in China. The country accounted for 16% of ASML’s equipment sales in the first nine months of this year.

The party congress, which recently wrapped up, has slowed China’s response to latest US export controls, analysts said. But as Beijing starts assessing the significance of the measures, it might retaliate. Xi is “concerned” about US plans to bolster domestic chip production as his administration moves to restrict China’s ability to make them, said US President Joe Biden in a speech on Thursday.

Chamorro said the most valuable “card” in China’s hand might be the supply of processed rare earth minerals, which Beijing could embargo. Rare earth minerals are important materials in electric vehicle production, battery making and renewable energy systems.

The Biden administration, meanwhile, is also weighing further restrictions on other technology exports to China, a senior US Commerce Department official said Thursday, according to the New York Times.

Historically, the Chinese government required all cosmetics products to be tested on animals. Fortunately, Chinese cosmetics regulations have been modified to eliminate some of these requirements. In 2014, China allowed companies manufacturing so-called “ordinary” cosmetics (such as shampoo or mascara) within the country to avoid animal tests for their products, while still requiring animal testing for imported products. In 2021, China again amended its regulations making it possible for some companies to import ordinary cosmetics into the country without the need for animal testing. We are pleased with the progress, but there is still work to be done, as “special use” cosmetics (such as hair dye or sunscreens) still require animal testing and many non-animal test methods are not yet accepted by Chinese regulators.

You can also help expand the number of companies that meet the Leaping Bunny standard by urging companies to have their products certified as cruelty-free. If a brand you"re considering isn"t on the Leaping Bunny list, contact the company and ask if its products or ingredients are tested on animals at any stage in the manufacturing process. Also ask if the company sells its products in China, which requires animal testing for some cosmetics. Download a sample letter/email for ideas on how to word your request and check the product or the company"s website for contact information.

I plan to import POLISHED PORCELAIN FLOOR TILES from Fushan, China, to Pakistan. Will be grateful to know any export tax / FTA or some other tax and the rate of tax applicable to this item. Thanks.

We are having our supplier in India, ship an individual component to our supplier in China, who assembles the entire product using this Indian component, packages and ships the finished assembly to our company in the U.S.

I am an Australian boat builder who is looking to get our boats built in China and then shipped back to Australia to sell. My question is what amount of Import tax and duty do I have to pay if I buy and ship the aluminium material from Singapore to the boat building yard in China ? Do I get any refund when the boat produced from this material is shipped from China back to Australia ? Looking foward to your thoughts, Adam.

Thanks for your question. The duty payable in China on imported aluminium into China could be zero if the boat building yard is located in a export processing or bonded zone. In this way they can be shipped to China, worked on but as the product is not intended for the Chinese domestic market they do not ‘officially” enter China. So you need to find a boatyard located in such a site. Otherwise duty will be payable, and as the product is not meant for the China market this just adds an unnecessary – and avoidable – element to the end cost. Let me know if you need assistance with site location, we have clients in the boat building industry in China. – Chris

We are a boat building company based in Indonesia. We plan to export a newly built 32 meter luxury yacht into Hainan, China. We will cruiser her straight from Jakarta into Hainan. What sort of taxes will my customer come across with the importation of this yacht? Just keeping a heads up for my client.

@Astrid – There is a search function on the official website of China Customs and Import duties of various goods abd their respective HS codes that can be found here:

@Haluk: There are four different kinds of aluminum ingots listed under the China Custom’s Online Service Center. The site is in Chinese but does have a search function. It’s here: http://service.customs.gov.cn/default.aspx?tabid=9409

Anyway, exporting aluminum ingots from China is subject to both export duty and value-added tax. The tax rate of VAT is always 17%, while the export duty rate is 15% for such resources.

My company is starting business with importing goods to Europe from China. I have a regular discussion about export duties with my china suppliers. I would like to have some sort of credible source which would give me straight and clear information about real export duties which my china supplier is facing. Is there some credible government source like this in english language?

We are importing to EU mainly HS8443999090 and HS4811900000, HS3703900000. Can i ask about real export duties with these goods? Im especially interested if i had to pay 17% China VAT when im exporting these goods from China to Europe.

I have some issues with my commercialization strategy, your article was really useful but I wonder if there is any chance to email you with some doubts. I am planning on exporting menswear to china,

Our China site has been importing goods from different countries. We had encountered an issue where in the China Customs is taxing us base on a higher value. We bought the goods from Singapore for like .05/unit. China customs is taxing us base on 0.162/unit. They do not accept that the real price for the item is just 0.05/unit.

I am administrating an international school in mainland china, and I want to order some textbooks from America. The American textbook publisher requires me to provide my customs registration number before I can complete the order, but I’m finding it very difficult to find out how to get such a number.

@Herbie: You need to provide proof to China customs that the goods were purchased at the amount you said. However they do keep a database of prices on gloablly traded products to ensure the correct amount is being declared, and they can and do impose what they feel is the correct dutiable value on the goods if they wish. You need to negotiate with them and provide hard evidence of proof of the true cost. – Chris

@Nathan: Bringing in school textbooks from overseas can be very difficult as the Chinese government monitor very carefully the publications that can be brought in. It’s not just a matter of customs, it’s also a matter for several other Government departments as well, including the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Propaganda. You will need professional assitance with this. I have sent you a personal email to discuss. – Chris

@Kian – this China Ministry of Customs website lists all the applicable duties on HS codes for goods imported into China: http://www.customs.gov.cn/publish/portal0/tab9409/

Could you please help me check what are the HS codes of quartz-based engineered/artificial/man-made stone and natural stone (marble/granite) exported to China? Is it 68101100 or 68101910 or any number else?

@John Scott: According to China’s customs regulations, gold, silver and the products made from them are duty-free and do not need to be declared if they are less than 50g (2 ounce) in weight. If the amount exceeds the limitation, you should declare it, and duty will be payable. On another note, I wouldn’t be sending gold or valuables through the post or even courier to China. It would be far safer to collect in UK and bring it back in personal luggage.

I intend to import to the Philippines some stuffed toys (animals – dog, cats, etc.) coming off from a plant in China. My supplier intends to impose their local taxes on top of my acquisition cost. We are willing to accept this term. My question is: how would I know if proper taxes were really levied on the goods? I would like to know how it is calculated and their Tariff rates for such. Reason here is I would like to be fair and have a check & balance protocol for this “at-my-cost” field. Thank you!!

Our company is supplying business partners in China with special metal goods of purpose for car industry produced and developed in EU. Just recently custom in a way blocked one of last shipment and making complete due diligance of supplier and importer and finialy asking for paying of waranty fee, extra duty tax.

I propose exporting rooibos tea(indigenous to South Africa) to China.As part of the BRICS’s trading block what are the import and or customs duties from South Africa to China?

@Rob Read: There are over seven kinds of HS codes for tea in China, however, none of them are specifically for the ‘Rooibos tea’ you enquired about. Overall, tariff duties for various kinds of tea are the same in the country. Specifically:

@Bryan Horridge: In China, tariff duties for a boat vary a lot depending on the size, engine and intended purpose of each boat. We need more information on the boats you intend to manufacture so we can provide detailed tax rates. You can email to tax@dezshira.com to get in touch. We’d also need to know the place of manufacture in China.

If you decide to make the boats in China and use the available materials in the country, the purchase of such materials and the sale of the finished boat is subject to value-added tax and consumption tax.

We are planning on making large quantities of copper imports from US to China. Much of the material may be raw, unprocessed scrap metal. What would be the tariffs I am looking at?

There’s no tax due when you buy product from China, just the purchase amount and the shipping costs which your supplier should be able to advise. However you may face import (customs) duties in the US.

My company imports from China. What are the tax rates, and how do we get VAT back? From where do I get the information about logistic, foe example what roots are the shortest how much the prices are, what are my benefits from importing from China etc..

@Miss T: You can only claim back VAT in China if you have a legal presence there. However, your supplier should be deducting part of this from your invoices as they can claim VAT back when they export to you. If they are charging you the full 17% VAT then that is a mark up on your invoice that should be questioned.

We are exporting boats (luxury yachts) from China to HongKong, Europe and USA. We are looking for the exact types of certifications we need as it seems it is different if the boat is shipped by cargo or sailed on her own bottom.

@Em: When exporting boats from China to other countries, the enterprises need to apply with the Chinese customs and submit all the required materials, including the application form, information of the ship and names of the crew. If such application has been approved, the customs will issue a certificate that allows the boat to exit the Chinese port. In terms of the type of the certification, it depends on the imported country of the boat. For example, CE certification is required for all recreational boats entering or sold in the European Union, while CCS certification may be required for importing boats to China.

This is quite a complicated procedural process. If you need assistance please contact one of our China offices for professional assistance with customs: china@dezshira.com

@James – There are six kinds of HS codes for watches in China, and tariff duties vary a lot depending on the materials and brands of the watches. Specifically:

As China and Hong Kong have signed a series of CEPA deals, watches recognized by Chinese government as “Hong Kong’s Own Brand” can enjoy zero import tariff treatment when exporting to China. A full list of Hong Kong’s own watch brands can be found here:

@Nuno: I will send you a back issue of China Briefing magazine on the subject, also please use our ‘search’ function on this website at the top of the page, Just type in “VAT” and it’ll provide you with all our articles on the subject.

We have been offered a MGO manufacturing plant in Nanjing in an ordinary manufacturing zone, not an export zone that I am told holds an export licence, Need advice we wish to purchase PC items out of China doors windows and produce our own MGO board in china for our own use back in Australia for housing construction, First is the export licence an advantage?

What is the China Customs duty rate for the importation by individuals (entering at the airport with said items in possession not intended for sale) for gold and silver coins and bullion that exceed 50 grams. And, how is the dutiable value determined on the coins, by their face value or weight??

@Mr. G: Gold and silver coins and bullion that exceed 50 grams in weight being brought into China are required to go through custom declaration. Chinese customs will determine how many quantities of gold and silver exceed their “reasonable range for self-use” based on relevant criteria. For excess self-use they items may be subject to import duties at 10% on their recent market value.

recently some of my competitors have tried to contact my custom agent in china and tried to get the information of the invoices i submit for custom clearance of my goods

We are looking to export Centrifugal fans to China and are keen to know how duties and taxes would be calculated and if there is a different rate if the fans are assembled or shipped as components.

@Yuni – You need to find out the HS code for the product. This is an internationally recognized code that customs officials worldwide use to identify specific products. If you don’t have this you will be unable to export it from China or import it into Indonesia as no-one will be able to identify what it is. So you need to find this out. I suggest you visit http://www.hscode.org to help identify the relevant number.

@Bill – The common rate and minimum rate for import duty of Centrifugal fans are 30 percent and 8 percent respectively, and 50 percent and 0 percent for fans with power less than 125w. Tax rate is usually lower for importing components and then assembling in China. However, the customs of China will assess the value of the components, and if the total price of the components accounted for more than 60 percent of the price for a complete equipment, tax rate for complete equipment will be applied.

I’m working on a cost simulation for selling Lithium Carbonate ( it seems that HS 28369100 covers both technical/industrial grade and battery grade) to countries in the Asia Pacific block and eventually Europe. As far as what I’ve learned from your different answers, exporters would get the VAT back on one side and the Chinese company wouldn’t pay duties if it reimports a purified product within 6 months assuming the company exports a product concentrate to Vietnam (for instance) where it gets purified (No HS# change though).

We are a rope manufacturer in the US. We are exporting some cordage to a manufacturer in Qingdao China that will add them to sport bags they are making for us. They will ship the finished product back to us in the States. Will there be taxes and duties placed on this item in China ? Should I place any special wording on the commercial invoice to eliminate taxes since this will be used for manufacturing and shipped back to us. Thanks

hi , I have export out good frequently to china, and every time I stuck with china custom, due to import licence in china, how should we go about applying for this licence, and as for custom duty is there any bench mark or how percent charge ??

@Sharim: You can get an Import-Export license by setting up your own Trading Company in China. Our China Briefing magazine issue “Trading With China” details this and can be downloaded here: http://www.asiabriefing.com/store/book/trading-with-china-398

I am curious about the taxes and duties I would have to pay if say I purchased tobacco products, more specifically, 100 Cuban cigars, from Hong Kong to China mainland (Shandong province). I am having a difficult time attempting to figure this out (new to the system).

I never import such items into China anymore, even for personal use as sometimes things have just gone missing. I’d certainly never rely on China Post, who have a 50% failure rate of delivery whenever I’ve had things sent in from overseas. I’d encourage you to ship to Hong Kong and then hand carry in.

@Adeleh: The VAT rate for both SD cards and Roots Blowers are 17%, and the rate is the same for the same products in all cities of China. The VAT is included in the price you paid to the suppliers. After the export, you could file export refund at local tax bureau. Currently, the VAT rebate rate for both of these products are also 17%, so all of the VAT paid will be paid back. The process will take months though.

I have to say that roots blower is not manufactured in China. It is going to be imported from France to China and then to be re-export from China. Please confirm if 17% VAT rat and 17% VAT refund rate is still applicable or not??

Could I ask if I export brass parts made in Australia to China for processing and then shipped back to Australia, I understand that there will be duties and VAT etc that is unavoidable on the import transaction into China, however as I am not actually selling anything to China, can I declare a nominal value – for example 5000 parts would in reality cost say $20,000 – can I declare $1 per part – so just $5000. No actual payment is made for the parts – the only transaction is a payment from Australia to China for the reprocessing and return shipping. Thanks in advance.

@Ian: This type of processing service is characterized as “processing with supplied material” (PSM) by the Custom and the Tax bureau. Under PSM, no tariff, VAT, or consumption tax will be imposed as long as the quantity of the parts imported match the export quantity of the processed parts. The relevant information of the parts will be put into a manual issued by the Custom when the parts coming into the country. Also the processing company in China must have the qualification approved by relevant government authorities to conduct PSM.

Thanks for all the information on this page. I’m trying to find out what regime applies to Chinese export of rolled aluminium. Is there a rebate, and if so does it apply to both the export tax and VAT, or just VAT. I am trying to work out the price of exported aluminium from China, if you have any information on internal pricing within China or links to where I can find that information that would be excellent.

@Faye C: The Taishan factory will pay VAT for purchasing the packaging, and this amount of VAT is included in the price of the packaging paid to the Shenzhen factory. For example, if the original price of the packaging is 100, then the final price that Taishan factory will pay for will be 117 (100 plus 17% VAT). If the buyer of the packaged products produced by the Taishan factory is a company in China, then this amount of VAT can be passed to this buyer (again included in the selling price, which will be 117 plus 17% VAT = 136.89).

Your website is very helpful and I thought I would trouble you with a question since you all have been so willing. We are importing engines to China from the United States in order to attach them to lawn machinery that will then be immediately exported to the United States. In other words, the engines are only in China long enough to be assembled into a machine and then exported back to their country of origin. Will the engines be taxed by the Chinese government on either end of this transaction? I greatly appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

If the assembly is taking place after the engines are imported into China then this is inefficient – you are paying import duty on the engines and then have to wait to complete the assembly to claim that – and any VAT – back.

@Debra: Importation of educational material in China isn’t just a matter of import duties, its also a matter of having them approved by the Ministry of Education. China also has a monopoly on all imported books, magazines and so on and this is a very difficult area to make any headway. Publishing and selling books to China is not a viable business, take my word on this.

We are looking to export scrap copper millberry from China to Australia can you advise all tax and duty we will encounter in China. Thanks. Barry Eadie.

We are looking to import slate into china for use in producing product which will be exported to North America. What is tax and duty on slate from India to China

@Doug: Depending on the material of the slate (e.g. marble, granite) and the process procedure (e.g. polished, unpolished), the common import rate ranges from 70 percent to 90 percent. If the tax treaty applies between India and China, the minimum import rate could apply, which ranges from 0 percent to 10.5 percent. Import VAT rate is 17%.

We must provide our specialised woven polyester textiles to the clothing maker so need to know what rate of import duty would be payable in China on this type of textile.

@Manolis: To report tax fraud in China, you could call (86) 10 6354 3714, being the report line of China’s State Administration of Taxation (SAT). You could also write a letter to them at the following address:

To make an online tip-off, you need to register on the SAT website by providing your legitimate personal information, then report the details. Here is the link to make an online report: http://hd.chinatax.gov.cn/jzxx/jicha.jsp#

@Gary North: In terms of the woven polyester textiles, the common import rate is 130 percent, but the minimum import rate to China could be 10 percent with relevant tax treaties. VAT rate is 17 percent.

We are planning to export of papers and paper board from China to third countries. Please let us know the rate of Import duty and other taxes in china.

The common import rate for feldspar powder is 50 percent. Minimum import rate of 3 percent could apply if there is a relevant tax treaty between India and China. The VAT rate is 17 percent.

I want to export device from europe for mould trial to china, after trials this device will be sent back to Europe, How looks taxes with temporary export

Can you kindly advice what procedures I have to do to apply for tax exemptions? Recently purchased a LCD monitor from China and it arrived faulty. Seller informed to send it back but I have checked and the cost to send it back plus the duties and taxes already outweighs the cost of the item. Is there a term that returned goods can be exempted? I only received the item about a week ago. Any documents I can provide to help? The third party courier did not hand me any invoice from the seller in the first place.

I don’t think there will be any taxes imposed on the LCD monitor as long as the customs are convinced this product is for personal use instead of sales purpose.

We are purchasing fashion jewellery items from suppliers in Qingdao, China. The jewellery will contain components that have been imported to China from Austria and the price of these components includes 17% VAT. When the supplier exports the jewellery can they claim back any of the VAT on the components used? If yes what % can they claim back?

We are a company based in Boston, MA. We ordered crude oil lab analysis from Shanghai, China. The invoice we received contains VAT tax. Do we have to pay VAT taxe in this case? We are no a Chinese company, and we are not importing/exporting goods. If our activity can be classified as anything it would be more along the lines of services exporting.

@Tina: Generally speaking, Chinese companies providing consulting or authentication services to foreign companies should be VAT exempted unless the subject matter (the products or goods) for which the services are provided for are located or produced in China.

@Hamish: The normal import rate for importing dried fruit into China is 70 percent, but it could be reduced to 25 percent if there are tax treaties applied between Australia and China. The import VAT is 13 percent.

perhaps you can help here: we may export artworks temporarily from China. I know that after 6 months it is possible to request an extension for another maximum 6 months, right? After that, what happens if:

2)When they apply to temporarily export artworks, they are required to pay a deposit fee that is equivalent to the amount of export duties for exporting the artwork. The deposit fee will be returned if the artwork is reimported to China within the stipulated period. But if the artwork is not returned to China within the period stipulated, the deposit fee will automatically be converted into export duties and paid to the Customs, regardless of whether the work has been sold, returned late, or not returned at all.

@Julia: The normal import duty rate for HS code 39129000 is 45%. The minimum import duty rate of 6.5% will apply if there are certain tax treaties between the export country and China. The product will also be subject to 17% value added tax.

Planning on importing a food additive from US to china. The additive will be used in the processing of the food and then the food will be exported back to the US. Does this fall under PSM thus no VAT or duties?

I present Yarmarka Company Russia, we’re producing brand packaged cereals beans (and mixtures with them with no flavoring agents and even salt) and would love to start collaboration with China. I’d be very grateful if you could answer which certificates and documents are necessary for us in Russia to successfully export our products (grocery) to China ? Thank you in advance!

My email in April used the wrong terminology. The food additive I am exporting to China will be PIM, not PSM. I plan on shipping product to bonded warehouse wherein the food processor will receive product. I am advised that the processors have the Processing Trade Agreeement “handbook” on file with customs. Is any VAT or Duty the responsibility of the processor to have them exempt? Do I need a Trading License is it unnecessary? Thank you.

Could you please help me check what are the HS codes of dairy product? we want to export sunflower cooking oil and Milk to china. By the way please how much tax costs and tariffs.

@Simon – we don’t source suppliers – we’re tax lawyers. We do have an office in Hong Kong but it does company formation, accounting, China business planning, that sort of service.

3. Are the above Duty and Tax (VAT) subjected to products imported to China for domestic consumption? If I were to import raw materials to China for reprocessing and export, do I have to pay for the Duty and Tax (VAT)? Or do I have to pay upfront first and collect them back when I export?

@Joshua: According to the “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Import and Export Duties”, if an Interim Duty (Temporary duty) applies to import goods which are also subject to MFN Duty, the duty should be paid based on the Interim Duty rate. Therefore, you only have to pay 2 percent instead of 10 percent. But you still have to pay VAT of 13 percent. The products imported to China for domestic consumption should be subject to VAT. If you were to import raw materials for the purpose of re-export, the raw materials imported to China should be exempt from import VAT or consumption duty. The “Tax Exemption Certificate for Processing of Supplied Materials” shall be provided for the exempt of VAT and consumption duty of the re-export goods.

My company is based in Singapore and we are planning to export electronics components (Capacitors, resistors etc) to a new China customer in Beijing. Assuming the value of the goods is worth USD$10,000 what is the import taxes and other costs of importing into China?

@Jeremy – Your product should be subject to a value-added tax rate ranging from 15 per cent to 17 per cent (this depends on the materials used and the exact kind of electronic components). The import tariff rate should be zero based on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) signed between China and Singapore. Best wishes – Chris

We purchase goods from China as components for a product we assemble in Canada, and we sometimes need to send samples of these same components back to our supplier for quality review.

@Gerald: For this question, I think we will need more information/description from you on the specific component you are sending to China and that is being returned in order for us to find the harmonized code that applies. I have emailed you about this directly.

We import chemicals and intermediates from China. I heard that the export rebate for chemicals and intermediates used in antibiotics is reduced from July ’14. Is this information correct. if so, let me know the rebate allowed for antibiotic intermediates.

@Graham Smith: As China granted MFN (Most-Favoured-Nation) status to Belgium, preferential tariffs can be applied to items imported from Belgium to China. Basically, there are six different tax rates of the import duty for children’s garments: 14%, 16%, 17.5%, 19%, 20%, and 25%. To make sure which rate is applicable, more detailed information such as the type of materials and percentage used in the finished garment, plus the type of product (coat, pants, underwear, etc.), and style (jacket, cloak, etc.) also need to be provided. You can email us for further details at china@dezshira.com with specifics if you wish.

@AV: This question is regulated by “Provisional Administrative Measures on Cash in Foreign Currencies Brought into and out of China” (Hui Fa (2003) No.102). Both coins and bank notes (paper) are regarded as “cash”. Consequently, whether you take bank notes or coins, it does not make any difference. Additionally, please note that according to Chinese regulations:

•If the foreign currency you take does not exceed the amount of declared in your last entry into China, you shall not be required to apply for the Permit for Bringing Foreign Exchange out of China and the Customs shall refer to the records of the amount of cash in foreign currencies declared by you for your last entry into China and allow exit.

– Where the amount of cash in foreign currencies to be brought out of China is US$5,000 equivalent or below, you shall be allowed exit without having to apply for the Permit, unless you make multiple trips within a day or within a short period.

– Where the amount of cash in foreign currencies to be brought out of China ranges from US$5,000 equivalent to US$10,000 equivalent, you shall be required to apply for the Permit with a bank and be allowed exit upon presentation of the Permit bearing the seal of the bank. However, if you present several Permits and the total amount of such Permits exceeds US$10,000 equivalent, you shall not be allowed exit.

– Where the amount of cash in foreign currencies to be brought out of China exceeds US$10,000 equivalent, you shall be required to apply to a branch of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange at the location of the account opening bank of foreign currency deposit or the bank selling such foreign currencies to you. The Customs shall allow exit upon presentation of the Permit bearing the seal of the SAFE bureau.

I would like to import the pigment (this is in a powder form) from China to the UK. Is this considered as importing raw materials? How much tax will I have to pay? Is there a difference if the pigment is in a liquid form?

@Georgie: First, as a buyer and exporter, you have no import duty to pay tax to China tax authorities. But you do need to fulfil any import tax in the UK and will need to search for a UK firm to advise you on this.

how is it, to import sheet music into China? Does I only have to pay the VAT (13%) or is there a special Tax? I heard all book have to cecked of the Ministary of Probaganda and you have to pay 15% extra Taxes. Is it right?

@Andreas: The importation of sheet music into China falls under the category of import of books. The only tax imposed on it is VAT at the rate of 13%. There are no other direct taxes. However, all imported manuscripts must go through preliminary reviews, while the reviewer is not the Ministry of Propaganda, but the state-owned companies which have the exclusive right to import books. They typically ask for a 75% cut of the retail price, which usually renders the transactions deliberately unprofitable. – Best regards, Chris

As to the suggestion for location, it’s best you consult with one of our professional team to get a comprehensive report, including the analysis of price, market, transportation and policies – email for this to china@dezshira.com

In the next couple of weeks, I am looking to import a large quantity of women’s perfume from France into China. I need to choose whether to import packaged perfume in 50ml bottles, ready for retail, or bulk perfume to be bottled in China. I was told that the import duties on packaged perfume in bottles is extremely high, whereas in bulk it’s a lot less. Also, I heard that from July, there is a new 30% (?) tax on all imported perfume or cosmetics. Could you please give me some insight on this, or point me in the right direction to find all the information I need?

We propose to export water meters to China from Europe. Does the Chinese govt. provide any export incentives to manufacturers? Also, kindly let me know of the taxation structure (taxes & duties) with respect to water meters.

However our Shanghai office has told us that they are not able to reclaim VAT and Duty in China nad so the “transfer” price would be uplifted by *1.09 (duty)*1.17(VAT), without consider any transportation cost ( generally 1.03)..

May I seek for your advice ? Could you advise the export duty, VAT and Export refund rate for wire rope HS 7312100000 and anchor bolt HS 7318 (i don’t have 10 digit code). We are sourcing from china these two products

Hi, we are planning to import gasoline generators (85022000) and diesel generators (85021100) from China to Indonesia. How much is the tax % payed to bring these products from China to Indonesia?

@Sarah: There are no export duties payable when exporting from China. I contacted our Jakarta office who advise me that importing generators from China into Indonesia, and specifically

gasoline generators (85022000) and diesel generators (85021100), are covered under the China-ASEAN FTA, so accordingly the import duty rate is 0% into Indonesia.

We want to know the Duties and tax structure for Fuel Oil #180cst in China after FOB Prices, plese let us know the structure for FO is it different from diesel?

Re your kind reply of 4th Jan to my question about importing perfume (thanks a million!), well it’s still stuck in storage in Hong Kong because the customer ran out of money… Anyway things should move again in early April. The question I need to ask you is about the difference between general and preferential duties. I was led to believe by some locals that general was for finished products (ready for retail sales) and preferential was for bulk product (i.e. still to be bottled and packaged). I understand from your e-mail that this is not the case. Therefore, my question is: in what cases is the preferential tariff applied, particularly with reference to finished perfumes and raw materials to make perfumed and cosmetics in China?

This may change in December of this year. You can find more information here: https://www.china-briefing.com/news/2014/02/27/chinas-agreement-with-asean-what-it-means-for-china-based-foreign-manufacturers.html

We were unable to find a product listed under H.S. code 62052020 in China. The closest approximation we found, H.S.code 62052000, enjoys conventional tariff rates of 0% for imports into China from Vietnam. There were similar 0% duties listed for a number of products in the larger category of 6205, so we would expect this would hold true in your case as well.

Hello I’m A Project assistant of a company that would like to create a business in Shenzhen whether in FTZ area or others part in the city. our project is developping, manufacturing & exporting electronic equipments of a specific product but would like to ask if we pay VAT for export goods from China to abroad or not ? Thanks a lot for your support

I red on documentation in the internet that VAT is subject to 17% but I am not sure. the reason why I’m asking you as an export. normaly, it’s not fair as all our products will be manufactured in China.

VAT on goods is generally not applicable when sold to entities outside of Mainland China. Within Mainland China, the standard rate is 17% for goods. When exporting goods, exporters may apply for a VAT rebate that can refund a significant part of the 17% that was paid to suppliers by the exporter. It is important for the exporter however to receive proper VAT invoices from suppliers. Otherwise a VAT refund application will not be successful.

I would like to buy a hydroelectric turbine and generator from China for my personal use to be installed on my property. I have a quote that includes shipment to Port of NY. I have no experience dealing with the Chinese and no experience importing. If this unit is shipped to the Port of NY, I am concerned about customs, duties, tariffs, entry fees and whatever else I may not even know about.

@Mark Henson: Your question relates to import duties levied by the United States, not by China. You are best advised to contact a US Customs Agent in NY to assist with this type of question. There are several listed if you search google.

Most-favored-nation tariff rates shall apply to imports originating from any member country of the World Trade Organization that applies the most-favored-nation treatment clause, imports originating from a country or region that has signed a bilateral agreement with the People’s Republic of China which includes a clause on reciprocal granting of most-favored-nation treatment, and imports originating from the People’s Republic of China.

Conventional tariff rates shall apply to imports originating from a country or region that has signed a regional trade agreement with the People’s Republic of China which includes a clause on preferential tariffs.

Preferential tariff rates shall apply to imports originating from a country or region that has signed a trade agreement with the People’s Republic of China which includes a clause on special tariff concessions.

Specifically for your question, to apply the preferential tariff rates, the goods must be sourced from a country or region which has treatment contained preferential tariff rates clause with China, or sourced from a MFN country.

We are a Company from Mexico currently working on promoting Packed Tuna (minced I believe is HS: 160420) and we would like to know the Tariff duties and taxes to be paid, in order to sell this product into China.

Parallel we see the eventual need to set up a representation office of our company in China in order to facilitate our imports and our dealss with Chinese clients. Since we are new on the subject we would like your oppnioin on that matter. Do you think its a good idea?, (Pros and cons), how hard or viable is it to establish it?, and where or in wich instance can we find accurate information related to begin this process.

Based on section 61 of “Order 124 of General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China”, return imported goods and claim refund on the import VAT paid is possible under the following grounds:

We manufacture our systems in China, our system contains parts that literally come from all over the world. At this point, we have parts located in the USA and Canada that were made in China, they need to be sent to China and will be re-exported integrated into our systems (machines) within 6 months.

How can i go about getting these items into China without paying the taxes being that they will be exported within a few weeks? As mentioned previously, these items are made in China, and the reason for sending them there again is because of the reduced manufacturing costs in China – having to pay high taxes would deter my company from wanting to manufacture in China.

In addition, I am at a point where I need to rush items to China and I will be going there next week – is there a process where I can bring these items through the border and clear customer, or do I have to send them separately by courier?

I have been in talks with factories that I work with and have been told that there is something called the “book” in China which basically means that one does not need to pay import duties on raw materials that will subsequently be used on product that will be exported out of China. Do you know where I could find more information on the “book”? Please advise.

Hello Reed, sounds like the factories are referring to a Customs Handbook. This is required by PRC Customs for management what is called “processing trade” in China. Companies eligible for PTR (Processing Trade Relief) are allowed to import materials, parts, sub-assemblies, etc. that will be used in the manufacture of goods for export, with the customs duties/import VAT suspended. Such companies, which are under the supervision of PRC Customs, are required to maintain records to track the receipt of materials, storage, use and ultimate export of products manufatured from these imported materials. The “book” is what is used to record the in and out of the goods as well as to track the process.

Hi, I have machines made in china that are then exported out of china. All parts are sourced from within china with the exception of one part that needs to be sent from Germany to china, put into the machine so the machine can be completed and exported to USA. Is it possible for the factory I use in china to claim back the sales tax and duty on the imported part. If so, how is this done. Thanks in advance

This is G.Sarathy from India, our exporter have to export to China. So, kindly provide the duty structure of the below said commodity & if any duty exemption at china.

I am planning to export part-finished silver and brass jewellery into China, for my supplier to do some work on them and then return these still part-finished pieces of jewellery to the UK.

Great work helping so many here – thanks. I started a company in Cebu Philippines making melamine dishware. The original machines were made in Dongguan China. I have 4 melamine press machines I would like to ship back into China and relocate our Cebu factory to China. The machine ages range from 1 to four years old – all made by the same Chinese equipment maker. If I understand correctly there were be a VAT of 17% and then a duty rate of course. As a Chinese made product it would at least get MFN status. What would be the declared value for used equipment? Is shipping used equipment back into China frowned upon? My Chinese contacts are saying I would better off just selling the equipment and purchasing new again in China. Thanks

Thank you for your comment and questions. If I understand correctly, you with to import ma
