Start with the actual movement
When you pay import duty in China depends on the applicable procedure and the goods. A question about bonded inventory should identify whether it stays under supervision, is proposed for domestic import or will move elsewhere. A warehouse address alone cannot establish the tax point or rate.
Prepare the basis for a tax assessment
Supply product identity, proposed HS classification, origin, value and the intended procedure. Add transport and insurance information where relevant to the review. A change in goods, destination or commercial arrangement can change the assessment. Do not treat an estimate prepared for one route as valid for another.
Distinguish bonded storage from exemption
Bonded storage and permanent exemption are different concepts. Review the applicable rules for the planned movement before making cash-flow assumptions. The customs rules for Type B logistics centres and comprehensive bonded zones should be checked for the selected facility and project.
Build the release plan into the quote
Give the expected domestic-release batches, schedule and importing parties. Keep taxes separate from storage, handling, declaration coordination and transport charges. TAPO assesses the contracted coordination scope; this guide does not provide a tariff determination or a tax-saving promise.
