How about Swedish tariffs?


1. Swedish Tariff Collection Standards

Sweden imposes Ad valorem tax on most imported goods. The dutiable price is the transaction price of imported goods, that is, the transaction price is the main basis for tariff collection. Specifically, the price including freight and insurance premiums or the FOB price with some additional costs is the price standard for tax collection.


2. Swedish tariff structure

Sweden's tariffs are formulated based on the unified system of interpretation and classification of goods approved by the World Customs Organization. This tariff is a single form tariff, which means that there is only one tax rate for each tariff item and goods from any country are treated equally.


3. Swedish tariff level

At present, Ruiqu has one of the lowest import tariffs on industrial products in the world, with an average import tariff rate of less than 5%. Most raw materials and certain manufactured products are allowed to be imported duty-free, while the import tariff rate for semi-finished products is around 3%. Some agricultural products are subject to import taxes, which are generally variable and vary depending on the international market price. The tariff can be paid in Swedish krona.


4. Swedish Tariff Penalty

If the goods are not truthfully declared, if intentional, a fine of 2-4 times the normal tax duty will be imposed. If not intentional, the fine will be lower. Failure to submit statistical declaration forms to the customs within the specified time limit will also result in a fine.
