In most countries customs duty is the product’s tariff rate applied to the CIF value; additional duties, anti-dumping duties and VAT may be added. The rate depends on the product’s HS code, country of origin and trade agreements.
Expert tip: If you buy from a country with a free trade agreement, a proof of origin can bring duty down to zero; without it the general rate applies, so make the origin document a condition of the order.
