VAT
Value-Added Tax (%) — Country-specific VAT or GST rate

풀어진 예시

입력
HS 8471.30 laptops — US rate 0%, EU rate 0%, India rate 15%, Brazil rate 16%
결과
Same $1,000 laptop: US landed $1,000, EU $1,200 (incl 20% VAT), India $1,346 (15% duty + 18% GST), Brazil $1,488 (16% + various taxes)

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Comparing only tariff rates without including VAT/GST and other domestic taxes
  • Using HS-6 rates when national tariff lines (HS-8 or HS-10) have different rates
  • Not checking for FTA preferential rates that may reduce the applied rate below MFN

자주 묻는 질문

Are HS codes the same worldwide?

The first 6 digits of HS codes are harmonized globally by the World Customs Organization. However, countries add additional digits (8-10 total) for national classification, and duty rates vary entirely by country.

Which country has the lowest average tariff rates?

Singapore and Hong Kong have 0% tariffs on nearly all goods. Among larger economies, the US (3.4% average), EU (5.1%), and Japan (4.2%) have relatively low average applied rates. Developing countries average 10-20%.
