0 tariff=0 import tax

The Chinese factories are not making high unit margins, many operate with very small profit margins it’s the nature of the industry, mass production and flood the markets. Low margins on high numbers, the profit is after all costs are incurred. So everyone is paid and all costs covered, then the small margins are used or go to some top dogs.


Units are averaging at around 600.00 each, that is the average so higher line models like the GW250 wholesale for what? Considering the low margins in the hyper competitive segment and retail prices on units like the YG250 retailing $ 2800, they are likely costing around what to make? A decent 250 probably cost 2500 each, the YG likely much less as it is primarily off the shelve parts.


Then you have the 600 CFMOTO and what would its production costs be? Bet that they are close to that of an original Kawasaki in Thailand. Now consider that Kawasaki sold the designs to CFMOTO then on one side costs go up and the others goes down?

I thought the PRC import duty rate for tariff code 8711.5000 (large motorcycles) is now 30%, not 40%. You also did not list the PRC motor vehicle purchase tax which is 10%. Isn't that also imposed on imports?

I note that the ol' DZMoto website no longer exists and instead forwards to TonJoy (SH)

Any new SH dealers (legitimate) in the works?
Down in Ningbo, there's a new dealership (understood to be a partnership or similar combination) opening a '4S' moto specific shop early in June. Shop will combine QianJiang-Benelli with KTMR2R-CFMoto AFAIK.
