First, customs determines cosmetic import duty rates based on declared value. Rates primarily cover import VAT, consumption tax, and tariffs.

Import VAT is typically 13% (9% for select items) of the declared value. Consumption tax is generally 10%, varying by product category. Tariffs depend on HS codes, with differing rates per classification.

Cosmetic rates vary by type: standard items incur 30% duty, but high-declared-value products may be classified as premium cosmetics at 60%. Beauty/decorative cosmetics are assessed as standard or special category based on value.

Note: Rates arent fixed—they vary by purchase quantity and product. Trade agreements and policies between countries also influence calculations.
