Do parallel imported vehicles require tax payment?

[Kathryn]

Parallel imported vehicles require tax payment. Whether it's parallel imported vehicles or those imported by authorized agents, they are subject to tariffs, value-added tax, and consumption tax. Parallel imported vehicles refer to cars purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturers. Depending on the import source, they can be categorized into models like US-spec and Middle East-spec, distinguishing them from China-spec vehicles sold through traditional channels. Advantages of parallel imported vehicles: 1. Advantage in model availability and delivery time; 2. More diverse configurations and options; 3. Certain luxury sports cars, pickup trucks, and RV models not yet available in the domestic market can also be purchased from parallel import dealers; 4. Optimized vehicle delivery process.
