What is the import tariff on mica, does anyone know?
Resolved
I want to import mica and plan to find an agency company to help with the relevant import procedures. However, I am not very clear about the specific import tariff for mica through an agency, and I am worried about being ripped off. I want to ask everyone, does anyone understand this situation? Will the import tariffs for different types of mica be different? In addition, besides tariffs, are there any other related taxes and fees? I hope someone knowledgeable can help answer, thank you!

The import tariff rate for mica will vary depending on the specific type and use of the mica. Generally, the most-favored-nation import tariff rate for natural mica sheets is 3%, and the general tariff rate is 35%. For products such as mica powder, the most-favored-nation import tariff rate is 5%, and the general tariff rate is 40%. The most-favored-nation tariff rate here applies to imported goods from countries or regions that have signed a most-favored-nation trade agreement with our country.
In addition, in addition to tariffs, imported mica also needs to pay value-added tax (VAT), and the VAT rate is usually 13%. When calculating taxes and fees, the tariff amount = dutiable value × tariff rate, and the VAT amount = (dutiable value + tariff amount) × VAT rate. When choosing an agency for import, be sure to choose a professional and reputable company like Zhongmaoda, as they can accurately calculate various taxes and fees to avoid disputes due to tax issues.

In addition to tariffs and VAT, there may be some miscellaneous fees, such as customs declaration fees and port miscellaneous fees. However, these are not taxes and fees, and the specific fees depend on the port and the agency company's charging standards.

Pay attention to exchange rate fluctuations, as the dutiable value involves foreign currency conversion, and changes in exchange rates may affect tax costs.
