CIRS Comments

Imported cosmetics tax rate from the original 15%, 10%, 9%, 6.5% down to 5% and 2%
Other related personal care items dropped from 25%, 18%, 15%, 14% and 10% to 8% and 5%.
The drastic reduction in tax rates will greatly boost the growth of imported cosmetics and personal consumer products by 2018. At the same time, the domestic consumer goods market will face greater impact and challenge.
