Look up any HS code in the 2026 Chinese customs tariff to see the import duty rate that applies — MFN rate, temporary (interim) rate, consumption tax, VAT, US and Canada additional tariffs, and FTA / RCEP preferential rates — then calculate the total landed duty, VAT and consumption tax for your shipment. Covers all 98 HS chapters, from 2-digit chapters down to 10-digit Chinese statistical codes.
The Chinese tariff schedule is organised into 98 chapters. Open a chapter to drill down to its 4-digit headings, 6- and 8-digit subheadings and 10-digit statistical codes, each with its duty rates.
Look up the product's HS code, then open that code on this site. The record lists every applicable rate: the MFN rate, the temporary (interim) rate when one is published for the year, the consumption tax rate, the VAT rate, and any US or Canada additional tariff. For codes covered by a free trade agreement, the preferential rate (for example RCEP or ASEAN) is shown as well.
The MFN (Most-Favoured-Nation) rate is the standard duty rate China applies to imports from WTO members without a preferential agreement. The temporary rate (暂定税率) is a reduced rate that the State Council Customs Tariff Commission publishes for specific codes for a given year. When a temporary rate is in force for a code it supersedes the MFN rate.
Yes. Import VAT and consumption tax are collected by China Customs at the time of import, in addition to customs duty. VAT on most imports is 13%, with 9% for certain goods; consumption tax applies only to excisable categories such as tobacco, alcohol, cosmetics, refined oil and cars. This site lists both rates for each HS code.
The first 6 digits follow the WCO Harmonized System and are used worldwide. China adds two more digits for its domestic subheadings (8 digits) and two further digits for statistical codes, giving a 10-digit commodity code (10 位商品编码) which is the level entered on the Chinese customs declaration.
The rates are compiled from published Chinese customs tariff schedules and are provided for reference and landed-cost estimation. The rate applied by China Customs on the date of declaration is the legally binding one, so always confirm the rate in force before shipping.
