HS code 73042990 Import data and product(s) under 73042990 HS code is collected from Indian customs, ports, and other reliable authorities in India. This customs import shipment data report helps traders to analyse up and down in the Indian market, price of products under Hs code 73042990, demand for products, and top importers in India.

The items to be imported are referred to as pup joints and C&C hoses. A pup joint is a seamless cold-drawn alloy steel pipe that is threaded on one end and fitted on the other end with a wing union nut. The function of the pup joint is to connect two pieces of high-pressure equipment. A C&C hose is comprised of two pieces of seamless cold-drawn alloy steel piping connected by a wing union nut and swivel joints. Though in the form of a loop when in the closed position, the nut can be undone and the pipe can be rotated to the desired direction. Like the pup joint, the C&C hose is used for connecting high-pressure equipment. In addition, this loop can be used as a means of connecting either two pieces of pipe or two valves together in high-pressure applications.

The applicable subheading for the pup joints will be 7304.51.5060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, seamless, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel, other, of circular cross-section, of other alloy steel, cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), other, other, other. The rate of duty will be free.

In your letter, you suggest classifiying the C&C (cementing and circulating) hose as a pipe/tube under subheading 7304.51.5060. This hose is not merely lengths of pipe with fittings attached. Rather, this fabrication is made up into a specific identifiable article which can be folded up for transportation and storage. As such, it would be excluded from classification under any of the pipe/tube headings in Chapter 73.

Pursuant to subsection 31(1) of the Special Import Measures Act, the President of the Canada Border Services Agency initiated investigations on September 12, 2011, respecting the alleged injurious dumping and subsidizing of oil country tubular goods pup joints, made of carbon or alloy steel, welded or seamless, heat-treated or not heat-treated, regardless of end finish, having an outside diameter from 2 3/8 inches to 4 1/2 inches (60.3 mm to 114.3 mm), in all grades, in lengths from 2 feet to 12 feet (61 cm to 366 cm) originating in or exported from the People"s Republic of China.

On July 22, 2011, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) received a written complaint from Alberta Oil Tool (AOT), a division of Dover Corporation (Canada) Limited of Edmonton, Alberta, (hereafter, “the Complainant”) alleging that imports of certain pup joints originating in or exported from the People"s Republic of China (China) are being dumped and subsidized and causing injury to the Canadian industry.

The Complainant provided evidence to support the allegations that certain pup joints from China have been dumped and subsidized. The evidence also discloses a reasonable indication that the dumping and subsidizing have caused injury and are threatening to cause injury to the Canadian industry producing these goods.

On September 12, 2011, pursuant to subsection 31(1) of SIMA, the President of the CBSA (President) initiated investigations respecting the dumping and subsidizing of certain pup joints from China.

Of the other producers certified to produce the like goods in Canada, only Tenaris Canada (Tenaris), of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, confirmed to be currently manufacturing them. Tenaris produces like goods which are premium pup joints in relatively small quantities and provided a letter supporting the complaint filed by Dover Corporation (Canada) Limited.

Oil country tubular goods pup joints, made of carbon or alloy steel, welded or seamless, heat-treated or not heat-treated, regardless of end finish, having an outside diameter from 2 3/8 inches to 4 1/2 inches (60.3 mm to 114.3 mm), in all grades, in lengths from 2 feet to 12 feet (61 cm to 366 cm) originating in or exported from the People"s Republic of China.

Pup joints are oil country tubular goods (OCTG) made from carbon or alloy steel pipes used for the exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gas. These pipes may be made by the electric resistance welded (ERW) or seamless production method, and are supplied to meet American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications 5CT or equivalent standard.1

Pup joints are primarily used for the purpose of adjusting the depth of strings or down hole tools, particularly where exact depth readings in a well are required for any given purpose, such as setting valves, packers, nipples or circulating sleeves. Pup joints are also used with down hole pumps. The number and lengths of pup joints may vary widely from well to well, depending on the various equipment and performance requirements established by engineers of the purchasing end users.

Pup joints may range from 2 feet to 12 feet in length with a permitted tolerance of plus or minus three inches. The sizes are generally 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 feet in length.

The pipe is produced in accordance with API 5CT, and may be produced using either seamless or welded (ERW) OCTG. While pup joints may be made with ERW, the Canadian market employs predominantly seamless OCTG. All pup joints produced by the Complainant are seamless products.2

Theoretically, subject pup joints may be supplied to meet any grade including and not limited to, H40, J55, K55, M65, N80, L80, L80 HC, L80 Chrome 13, L80 LT, L80 SS, C90, C95, C110, P110, P110 HC, P110 LT, T95, T95 HC, and Q125, or proprietary grades manufactured as substitutes for these specifications. The most common demand in the Canadian market is for J55 or L80 specifications.

The grade numbers define the minimum yield strength required of the grade in kilo-pounds [force] per square inch (“ksi” or 1,000 pounds per square inch). Pup joints may also be made to proprietary specifications. The Complainant makes or has the capability to produce pup joints in any of these grades.

As with all OCTG, a standard pup joint must be able to withstand outside pressure and internal yield pressures within the well. Also, it must have sufficient joint strength to hold its own weight and must be equipped with threads sufficiently tight to contain the well pressure where lengths are joined.

There is a small market segment for perforated pup joints. These are pup joints with holes in the body of the pup joint (usually 3/8 inch though they may have holes or slots of various sizes in the body). The product is produced with API 5CT tubing, though once perforated the product no longer conforms to an API 5CT specification, since it no longer meets the yield strength requirements. Perforated pup joints are employed to allow fluids to enter the production tubing. They can also be used to create a mud anchor. Perforated pup joints are included as goods subject to these investigations.

On March 23, 2010, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (Tribunal) excluded ‘pup joints" as part of its finding in Inquiry No. NQ-2009-004 on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods. In that finding, the Tribunal stated:

“The Tribunal hereby excludes pup joints, seamless or welded, heat-treated or not heat-treated, in lengths of up to 3.66 m (12 feet), from its injury finding.”3

Pup joints are manufactured in Canada by the Complainant using plain end tube as an input. For J55 grade pup joints, a length of J55 OCTG tubing is employed. For L80 grade pup joints, the input is an A-519 mechanical tube with the appropriate steel chemistry for L80 OCTG. The L80 input tube does not qualify for the API 5CT designation until it has been tested in accordance with API requirements. The Complainant performs the testing required.

The production process of the input pipe itself is virtually identical to that employed for OCTG tubing and casing. There are, however, significant subsequent costs associated with transforming the input tubing into pup joints including: cutting to length, end finishing, threading, and testing to meet the certification required.

For J55 pup joints, the Complainant produces an upset end by heating (upset forging) and butting to thicken the end of the pipe diameter for threading. J55 tubing is cut 8 inches longer than the required pup joint length to accommodate this process. In the case of L80 pup joints, the production process uses profiling rather than upset ends, and accordingly only 1/4 inch of additional length is needed to accommodate finishing. Profiling refers to machining the pipe towards the ends of the pipe so it is thicker at the far ends. This process is used instead of upsetting because upsetting a pipe with steel chemistry for an L80 grade would require the producer to heat-treat the pipe again.

Testing includes drift testing which is an assessment of the straightness within the hollow part of the tube, to ensure no bends or kinks exist after the pup joint was forged, and hydrostatic testing which assesses the pup joint"s ability to withstand internal pressure.4

The listing of HS codes is for convenience of reference only. The HS codes listed may include non-subject goods. Also, subject goods may fall under HS codes that are not listed. Refer to the product definition for authoritative details regarding the subject goods.

Pup joints produced by the domestic industry compete directly with and have the same end uses as the subject goods imported from China. The goods produced in Canada and China are completely substitutable. Therefore, the CBSA has concluded that the pup joints produced by the Canadian industry constitute like goods to the subject goods. Pup joints can be considered as a single class of goods notwithstanding that the subject goods may be further differentiated in terms of seamless or welded.

All pup joints sold by the Complainant are sold to oilfield supply distributors who in turn sell the products to end users. The Complainant makes some sales directly to large volume end users and specialty manufacturing companies that require the product in conjunction with their own manufactured products (i.e. down hole pumps and wellheads).6

The Complainant estimated the import portion of the Canadian market using the best information available to them, recognizing that there is no publicly available information which segregates pup joints from the larger category of products which are oil country tubular goods.

The Complainant"s commercial intelligence indicates that China and the United States are the only countries that export commercially significant quantities of pup joints to Canada.

The Complainant provided estimates respecting the Canadian market for pup joints. These figures are based on their own domestic sales reports and on publicly available import data.

Detailed information regarding the volume of subject imports and domestic production cannot be divulged for confidentiality reasons. The CBSA has, however, prepared the following table to show the estimated import share of certain pup joints in Canada.

The Complainant alleged that subject goods from China have been injuriously dumped into Canada. Dumping occurs when the normal value of the goods exceeds the export price to importers in Canada. The Complainant provided information to support the allegation that the OCTG sector in China, which includes pup joints, may not be operating under competitive market conditions and as such, normal values should be determined under section 20 of SIMA. This included reference to the CBSA"s previous section 20 determinations in respect of its Certain Seamless Steel Casing and Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods final determinations on February 7, 2008 and February 22, 2010 respectively.

The Complainant provided information supporting a request that a section 20 inquiry be initiated in investigating their allegation of injurious dumping of the subject goods. Due to the lack of available information and because they believe that the conditions of section 20 exist, the Complainant did not provide any analysis regarding the domestic selling price of pup joints in China.

Estimated normal values were provided for models of pup joints that represent a major proportion of goods normally sold in Canada by the Complainant. The CBSA also noted that these products represented just over 50% of the specific products (i.e. matching grade, outside diameter and length) imported during the POI on a value basis.

The Complainant alleged that the conditions described in section 20 prevail in the OCTG sector in China, which includes pup joints. That is, the Complainant alleges that this industry sector in China does not operate under competitive market conditions and consequently, prices established in the Chinese domestic market for pup joints are not reliable for determining normal values.

With respect to the OCTG sector, which includes pup joints, the CBSA has information which demonstrates that the prices of OCTG products may be significantly affected by the GOC"s actions and as a result, prices of OCTG in China may not be substantially the same as they would be if they were determined in a competitive market.

Consequently, on September 12, 2011, the CBSA initiated a section 20 inquiry based on the information available in order to determine whether the conditions set forth in paragraph 20(1)(a) of SIMA prevail in the OCTG sector, which includes pup joints, in China. A section 20 inquiry refers to the process whereby the CBSA collects information from various sources so that the President may, on the basis of this information, form an opinion regarding the presence of the conditions described under section 20 of SIMA, in the sector under investigation.

As part of this section 20 inquiry, the CBSA sent section 20 questionnaires to all known exporters and producers of OCTG in China, as well as to the GOC requesting detailed information related to the OCTG sector which includes pup joints in China. In addition, the CBSA requested that producers in other countries, who are not subject to the present investigation, provide domestic pricing and costing information concerning pup joints.

In the event that the President forms the opinion that domestic prices of pup joints in China are substantially determined by the GOC and there is sufficient reason to believe that the domestic prices are not substantially the same as they would be if they were determined in a competitive market, the normal values of the goods under investigation will be determined, where such information is available, on the basis of the domestic price or cost of the like goods sold by producers in any country designated by the President and adjusted for price comparability; or the selling price in Canada of like goods imported from a designated country and adjusted for price comparability.

the government permits or directs a non-governmental body to do any thing referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) above where the right or obligation to do the thing is normally vested in the government and the manner in which the non-governmental body does the thing does not differ in a meaningful way from the manner in which the government would do it.

In accordance with subsection 2(7.3) of SIMA, notwithstanding that a subsidy is not specific in law, a subsidy may also be considered specific in fact, having regard as to whether:

The following 11 grant programs, which were identified by the Complainant and previously investigated by the CBSA, were found to not be relevant to the pup joints investigation. The reason for their lack of relevance is that none of the exporters identified for this investigation are located in regions that would allow them to qualify for these subsidies. The affected programs are as follows:

The above-mentioned programs will not be investigated by the CBSA unless sufficient information is provided to justify their investigation. In this respect, the CBSA may further examine location-specific subsidy programs in the event that such programs are found in the areas where the identified pup joints producers are located.

SIMA refers to material injury caused to the domestic producers of like goods in Canada. The CBSA has accepted that the pup joints produced by the Complainant are like goods to those imported from China. The CBSA"s analysis primarily included information on the Complainant"s domestic sales, with a focus on the impact of the allegedly dumped and subsidized goods on their production and sale of like goods in Canada.

The Complainant alleged that the subject goods have been dumped and subsidized and that such dumping and subsidizing has caused and is threatening to cause material injury to the pup joint industry in Canada. In support of its allegations, the Complainant provided evidence of increased volumes of dumped and subsidized goods, lost sales, price erosion, price suppression, lost revenues, reduced gross margins, reduced profitability, loss of market share, loss of employment, reduced returns on investment, and underutilization of capacity.

The complaint cited the increase in subject welded casing/tubing immediately following the Tribunal finding onCertain Seamless Steel Casing, which subsequently resulted in measures against those products under the Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods finding, as evidence that in the absence of protection, the threat of injury on accessory products like pup joints will persist.

The import volumes were difficult for the Complainant to estimate, given that the subject goods would normally be imported under the same HS codes as other OCTG products. Consequently, there is no way for the Complainant to take the publicly available information which is segregated by HS code and accurately assess the value and quantity of certain pup joints imported into Canada. However, given that the Complainant knows the volume of sales they typically made to customers who now buy from Chinese sources, they were able to estimate the volume of Chinese imports.

Import data generated by the CBSA made use of ACROSS statements, which typically specify when OCTG tubing are pup joints and is thus more accurate, indicating comparable trends to those provided by the Complainant in terms of the relationship of subject imports to the total share of imports and to the overall Canadian market.

The CBSA"s analysis of Chinese pup joint imports in Q1 and Q2-2011 supports the Complainant"s position that subject goods are taking an increasing share of the Canadian market, as subject import volumes in that period increased to more than what was imported for the entire 2010 period.

The increase in Chinese imports is particularly noticeable in Q4-2010, where according to the data from FIRM,26 the two most significant lost customers identified by the Complainant began importing Chinese pup joints in substantial volumes. These two parties are in fact two of the three largest importers of Chinese origin pup joints during the July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 POI, accounting for over half of the value of subject imports.

The loss of sales to its largest customers in addition to other smaller customers, which cumulatively accounted for substantial portions of the Complainant"s pup joint revenue, has resulted in reduced revenues which have failed to reach those achieved in 2008.

To illustrate the downward trend in their pup joints business, the Complainant offered a comparison between the pup joints segment and the overall business of the division, to demonstrate that the pup joints segment"s decline in gross margins is not a reflection of their overall business.

In 2008, the Complainant"s pup joints business segment outperformed their total operations. Overall gross margins dipped in 2009 due to the recession but in 2010 and Q1-2011, overall gross margins have grown substantially, such that they exceed margins achieved on pup joints. Pup joint margins have conversely dropped over this same period.

The Complainant used a similar comparison of its relatively higher profitability in other oilfield products as evidence that dumped and subsidized Chinese pup joints have reduced profitability of their pup joint sales.

In contrast, the Complainant"s pup joints business reported a substantial drop in profits as a percentage of sales revenues from 2008 to 2009, with only a modest recovery in 2010 and Q1-2011, largely underperforming the division as a whole.

The Complainant alleged that their market share has steadily diminished since the emergence of Chinese pup joints in Canada after 2008. In fact, according to the CBSA"s estimate, the Complainant"s share of the Canadian market has decreased substantially since 2008.

With Q1 and Q2-2011 imports of subject goods already eclipsing the total volume of subject goods estimated by the CBSA to have been imported in all of 2010, the most recent evidence indicates that the Complainant is continuing to lose market share to alleged dumped and subsidized pup joints.

The Complainant stated that with a decline in orders for their like goods, which is attributable to the alleged dumped and subsidized imports of subject goods from China, their employment directly associated with the production of pup joints dropped considerably from 2008 to 2010.28

The Complainant is particularly concerned with its recent investment in paint and threading systems for pup joints, which was required with the transfer of certain production from facilities from its affiliate in the United States. The injury caused by the alleged dumped and subsidized pup joints will make it more difficult to recoup on this investment, given the total cost of the project.

The Complainant stated that they have the available capacity to meet considerably more Canadian demand were they not having to compete with dumped and subsidized Chinese pup joints. The Complainant reported capacity utilization declined considerably from 2008 to 2010.

The Complainant alleges that the current growing trend of lost customers in Canada through the first half of 2011 is an indication that these customers are increasingly sourcing pup joints from China.

Based on information provided in the complaint, other available information, and the CBSA"s internal data on imports, there is evidence that certain pup joints originating in or exported from China have been dumped and subsidized, and there is a reasonable indication that such dumping and subsidizing has caused or is threatening to cause injury to the Canadian industry. As a result, based on the CBSA"s examination of the evidence and its own analysis, dumping and countervailing investigations were initiated on September 12, 2011.

The CBSA has also requested costing and sales information from producers of pup joints in multiple countries. Where sufficiently available, this information may be used to determine normal values of the goods in the event that the President of the CBSA forms an opinion that the evidence in this investigation demonstrates that section 20 conditions apply in the OCTG sector, which includes pup joints, in China.

If an undertaking were to be accepted, the investigations and the collection of provisional duty would be suspended. Notwithstanding the acceptance of an undertaking, an exporter may request that the CBSA"s investigations be completed and that the Tribunal complete its injury inquiry.

For further information on the production process of the input tubing, see the CBSA"s Initiation Statement of Reasons for Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods, paragraphs 21-27, September 8, 2009.http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/sima-lmsi/i-e/ad1385/ad1385-i09-de-eng.html

This included a review of US, Indian and European OCTG producers, segregated to examine only financial results related to OCTG tubing where available. OCTG tubing is the product segment most closely related to the pup joints subject to these investigations. Segregated financial reporting at the more specific ‘pup joint" level was not found.

Pup Joints were subject to the Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods investigation prior to their exclusion at the Tribunal. The provisional period for that investigation began November 23, 2009, so that year was largely unaffected by the investigation.

we are exporting weekly goods to Shenzhen district, but in last months it happens that a lot of containers have been stopped to Customs since Customs agents request specific declaration on the amount od Insurance Premium. For us it’s extremely difficult to declare this amount for each invoice since we pay a yearly premium.

@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:

i was trying to use link (http://www.customs.gov.cn/publish/portal0/tab9409/) for seaching HS codes by myself but i was not succesful. That page did not let me trough its verification code. So i decided to ask here and i would be grateful for any reply to my email.

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 think the problem you are facing on that website is that you are putting the “HS” in front of the code, which doesn’t work. You just have to put the numerical code in directly. However, yes it is only in Chinese and can be a bit confusing.

@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?

@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:

There is an international system in place so that customs officials across each country and around the world can understand each other in relation to specific products. It is called the “Harmonized Tariff Schedule” (commonly referred to as the HS Code) and means nearly all products have a specific code number. If you know that number you can refer to the import duty as applicable in any country.

If you look up Christmas Stockings (probably under decorative stockings) that’ll give you the HS Code and you can find the import duty applicable in the United States.

@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:

@Solaiman Siddique: There is some variation about the exact HS code for these products as RMGs made by different materials vary a little within their normal rate. Generally, the minimum tariff rate is 16%, and normal rate ranges from 9% to 13%. They are also subject to 17% VAT.

@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.

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).

All that said, what are the regular export duties for Lithium Carbonate ? If exceeding the 6 months to re import, what would be the import duties then?

If the lithium carbonate failed to be re-imported within six months, you can apply for extension with relevant customs and such period can be extended for another three months upon approval. However, if the lithium carbonate failed to be re-imported within nine months after being exported, the regular import duties shall apply.

@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.

@Pierre Shepherd: Only the VAT can be refunded. There is no rebate for export duty. The export rate for rolled aluminum varies from 0% to 15% depends on the application of different HS code. The internal pricing model varies for different company. Generally, the price would include all the costs (material, labor, transportation, etc. ), and export companies usually want to put the cost of VAT in the price as well even if they could get the amount back after the export through VAT rebate. All in all, the final price depends on the bargain and negotiation with the sales person of the export company.

The export rate for the paper board (HS Code No.48181000) is actually 0 percent. By the way, thank you for providing the HS Code which makes our job easier and more accurate when answering these questions.

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.

@Raf – You could declare the device as a temporarily imported good to the Chinese Customs and obtain an ATA (Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission) carnet. In order to be granted ATA, certain amounts of deposit or other types of guarantee will be required by the customs. In addition, to be qualified for temporarily imported goods, the goods should be exported generally within 6 months, any extension will need approval from the customs. The import and export duty and VAT are exempted for temporarily imported goods.

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:

1) It is possible to request an extension for another 6 months, and the application should be made 30 days prior to the expiration of the first 6 month period;

@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.

@Amit: The normal import rate for cotton linter pulp is 8 per cent, the export rate is 10 per cent and the value-added tax rate is 17 per cent (H.S code: 4701000000). The minimum import rate is zero if tax treaties and relevant provisions are activated.

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.

I am looking for a reliable HS consultancy service based in Hong Kong able to deliver training to my team of Merchandisers regarding HS codes in to the UK.

@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.

@Angela Lee: The HS code you provided above does not exist. However, based on the information you offered, the most probable answer is the 17% is VAT, the 7% is the preferential tax for import products.

Regarding the import duty and consumption tax, we will need a more precise HS code of at least 8 figures to narrow down the exact product category. The current four figure-code yields over 70 pages with multiple product categories on each of them.

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

Under Most Favored Nation (MFN) duties, which applies to Vietnam, the import rate for products with the HS code 62052000 should be 16% at the moment. Without MFN status, the rate is 90%.

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.

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.

Based on a preliminary search, the following two categories of products (might be close to the packed minced tuna) with their corresponding HS code, import customs duty (tariff) and applicable taxes were found. Please keep in mind that the information below is an estimate only and the actual import customs duty and tax rates may vary.

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.

We would like to understand what kind of taxes, VAT, custom expenses we’ll see if we buy new machinery for electronic manufacturing from China and import it into Switzerland. The machinery is built originally in South Korea HS code 8479.89-9092 (Korean)

would you please inform us what’s the duty and taxes to import from Bangladesh to China of Ladies Trouser/Shorts (HS-6204) and Men’s Trouser/Shorts (HS-6203) to make of clothing from any where.

@Maksud: Thanks for your comment. The taxes for Ladies Trouser/Shorts (HS-6204) include a 17 percent VAT and a 16 or 17.5 percent import duty depending on the material of the trousers. Same with the Men’s Trouser/Shorts (HS-6203).
