Estimates of Duties and Taxes

All of our products on international purchases are Japanese Duty-Free.

Import Duties and Taxes

However, there are import duties and taxes depending on the country policy and those levied by the destination country will differ from country to country.

The duties and taxes rates are classified based on the product specification that is defined by the international product code-named “HS commodity code”.

The products that we carry are all classified as “Tableware or kitchenware of wood” with HS commodity code of 4419.00.X category (X stands for unknown). The exact HS commodity code will differ from country to country. Exact HS commodity codes are as follows; Hong Kong: 4419.00.00, Singapore: 4419.00.00, Taiwan: 4419.00.00908

>Actual Duties and Taxes Rates;

Hong Kong

0% duty rate with no sales tax and no other taxes.

Singapore

0% duty rate with 8% sales tax and no other taxes.

Taiwan

5% duty rate (above 3000 TWD (including shipping and insurance fee)) with 5% sales tax with trade promotion fee of 0.04%.

 

Based on those rates, duties and taxes could be estimated. Base price used to calculate the duties and taxes should be the total price charged by Kogei Styling (which includes international shipping and handling fees).

However, please be on notice that other charges may occur based on any requirements from the local authority, and we do not guarantee that any actual duties and fees charged will match the estimation.
