kherel77 I'm looking to import an electric skateboard (similar to a motorised hoverboard, only it's a skateboard and much faster) from the US, and the price of the item is USD599. May I know what sort of tax I will be expected to pay, besides 6% GST? Also, any tax/duty paid will be based on $599 + [insurance] + [IATA freight charge], right? Thanks in advance!

If not mistaken, normal skateboard is under Tariff Code #9506.99 000 which carry only 6% GST. But i'm not sure if "electric skateboard". Some country use same TC while some use #8711.90 920 which have 30% duties + 6% GST. Better ask your shipper which Tariff Code/HS Code they using during export.

Yes, your duties/taxes calculation is correct.

Hopes that help.

kherel77 Thanks for your reply! Wow, 36% vs 6$... haha, better make sure! When you say I should ask my shipper, you mean ask the courier that the seller will use? Sorry, not too familiar with who decides which HS code will be used.
