Importing Customs Tariff:
Importing customs duties and taxes vary depending on each country.
For example, citizens of some countries (i.e. US, Canada, Switzerland, Saudi Arabic,UK, Chile, Malaysia, the Philippines, etc.) benefit from 0% tax rate or a very low tax rate when importing products such as the Cumond machinery from China. Others impose as high as over 30% tax rate on Chinese goods.
For most countries, customs tariff rate is set differently based on the invoice total, origin country and the HS code (harmonized system code) of imported goods.
For your reference, the HS code for most of our products (including the Cumond cleaner models) is 84248.99990
