3. Import tax on shavers

Import tax is an obligation that the importer must fulfill when carrying out the procedure for importing a shaver. Tax obligations are mandatory and goods are only cleared when the tax obligation has been fulfilled. There are two types of import taxes, namely VAT and import tax. The import tax depends on the hs code of the selected goods. The tax calculation method when carrying out procedures for importing shavers is as follows:

Import tax determined according to the import tax hs code is calculated according to the formula:
Import tax = CIF value x % tax rate

Import VAT is determined according to the formula:
Value Added Tax = (CIF Value + Import Tax) x % VAT rate.

According to the above formula, it can be seen that the import tax on shavers belongs to the tax rate applied. The tax rate of the shaver depends on whether the order has a certificate of origin or not. If there is a certificate of origin (c/o), a special preferential tax rate may be applied.

• Information of the importer (address, company name);
• Name of goods and information of goods;
