Import taxes, also known as customs duties or tariffs, are levied on goods entering a country. Rates vary depending on product category, trade agreements, and local regulations. Below is an overview of common import duties:
| Country / Region | Average Duty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| USA | 2–5% | Many goods duty-free under FTAs (USMCA, WTO agreements). |
| European Union | 4–6% | Agricultural goods can be higher (10–20%). |
| China | 9–10% | High tariffs on luxury items; reduced duties on raw materials. |
| India | 10–20% | Protective tariffs on electronics, automobiles, and luxury goods. |
| Brazil | 14% average | One of the highest import tax regions in Latin America. |
| Japan | 2.5% average | Many items are duty-free, especially IT goods. |
| Australia | 5% | Preferential trade agreements reduce tariffs with Asia-Pacific partners. |
| Africa (South Africa) | 10–15% | High tariffs on cars, clothing, and electronics. |
High tariffs can make imports more expensive, encouraging domestic production. However, free trade agreements (FTAs) such as NAFTA/USMCA, EU-Japan EPA, and RCEP help reduce or eliminate import taxes for member nations.
