HS 1509 TRANSPARENCY
We show you the duty math before you ask.
Olive oil enters Mainland China under HS 1509.10 (virgin) and 1509.20 (extra virgin). MFN duty is 10%; VAT is 13%. Türkiye and China do not share a Free Trade Agreement, so no preferential rate applies. We surface the full landed-cost math on every quote.
| HS Code | 1509.10 / 1509.20 |
| MFN Duty (China) | 10% |
| VAT (China) | 13% |
| TR–CN FTA | None as of 2026 |
SEA ROUTES
From Mersin to your bonded warehouse.
