Can Amazon import taxes and fees be waived? What is the import tax rate?

The tax rate for goods that meet the requirements of personal tax is 30%, and there is a tax-free amount of 50 yuan, which means that if the price of this product is lower than 166.66 yuan, no tax will be charged. However, few products purchased overseas on Amazon now meet the requirements of personal tax.
