Per reader request, when there are changes to the import/export rules and taxes, I will use this forum to post the latest information that impact sourcing professionals.

 

In a July blog post “33 Import duties disappear!” I explained how this adjustment will impact China sourcing. As a follow up, here is the detailed list of the 33 items.  The VAT may no longer be in place, but there are still import duties that apply as follows.
