Mongolia Machinery & Mechanical Appliances - Overview
Machinery and mechanical appliances cover industrial, construction and general-purpose equipment. Duties on capital goods are usually moderate to low to encourage investment, but finished and specialised machines can face higher rates.
For reference only: the average, maximum and minimum rates below are taken from Mongolia's published tariff schedule. Actual duty depends on the exact HS subheading and on whether preferential (FTA) rates apply.
Representative HS Codes
| HS Code | Coverage |
|---|---|
| 8479 | Machines and mechanical appliances with individual functions |
| 8413 | Pumps for liquids and liquid elevators |
| 8407 | Spark-ignition reciprocating piston engines |
HS chapters: HS Chapter 84 (Machinery & Mechanical Appliances, Reactors, Boilers, Nuclear Equipment).
How Mongolia Import Duty on Machinery & Mechanical Appliances Is Calculated
Customs duty is normally charged on the customs value of the goods (commonly CIF - cost, insurance and freight). The ad valorem rate for the correct HS subheading is applied to that value. Depending on Mongolia, the following may also apply on top of or instead of the base tariff:
- Ad valorem duty - a percentage of customs value (the figures shown above).
- Specific / compound duty - a fixed amount per unit, or a mix, on some lines.
- VAT / GST / excise - consumption taxes charged on the duty-inclusive value at the border.
- Trade-agreement (preferential) rates - lower or zero where the goods meet rules of origin.
- Anti-dumping / safeguard duties - extra duties on specific products found to be dumped or surging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mongolia tariff on machinery and mechanical appliances?
Industrial and general-purpose machinery in Mongolia carries a relatively low average duty of about 5% (max 15%, min 0%); specialist and finished machines may be higher.
Which HS codes cover machinery?
Machinery is mainly under HS Chapter 84: machines with individual functions (8479), liquid pumps (8413) and reciprocating piston engines (8407).
Why are machinery duties often lower than other goods?
Many governments keep capital-goods duties low to encourage investment and productivity; however anti-dumping measures can apply to specific machinery lines.
Do trade agreements reduce machinery tariffs in Mongolia?
Where Mongolia has an FTA with the exporter, originating machinery may qualify for preferential or zero rates; rules of origin and certificates of origin are required.
