Products with reduced import duties include computers and cameras, which means the tax on iPad imports drops from 1000 yuan ($152) to up to 500 yuan ($76).

But video cameras are not included in this category, staying at the 20 percent level.

China's current import duty covers tariff, value added tax and consumption tax.

The commission gave no reason for the import tax revision and said the move has been approved by the State Council.

國務院關稅稅則委員會28日發佈通知稱，從1月27日起，計算機、視頻攝錄一體機等信息技術產品和照相機進口稅率，從20%調整至10%。這意味着，之前備受關注的iPad進口稅，將從1000元降至最高500元。

北京首都機場海關稅收徵繳的工作人員28日表示，已經接到通知稅率調整至10%，針對iPad不同產品有不同的完稅價格。

上海浦東機場工作人員稱，iPad現在進境的進口稅爲300元，稅率在28日進行了調整，也不侷限在之前所定的5000元，如果進境旅客能夠提供的發票價格，顯示與5000元相差較多，則將按照3000元的完稅價格計算，相應應繳納的進口稅爲300元。
