FAQ
Everything you need to know for
you import business
Q1: What are the taxes?
A: The Chinese Customs impose import duties on
personal postal articles entering China. However, it is
exempted for articles with import duties not more
than RMB 50. The tax rates are 10%, 20%, 30% or
50%, depending on the product classification. Please
refer to the Tax-Rate Table.
Q2: Who pays the Personal Postal Articles Tax?
A: If the parcel is imported via Hong Kong, then the
recipient will pay the tax upon receiving it if there is
any. If the recipient refuses to pay, then the parcel
can be returned to our Hong Kong Warehouse. On
the other hand, if the parcel is handled by the
Customs Bonded Warehouse in mainland China, then
the merchant will have to pay the tax first if happens
