1.Origin and development of import tariff policy

Kyrgyzstan's import tariff policy originated from the country's external needs and the requirements of economic development. With the gradual growth of the used car market in Kyrgyzstan, ** began to realize the need to promote the import and sale of used cars by adjusting the tariff policy to meet the needs of domestic consumers.

In Kyrgyzstan's economic profile, we can see that the country's automotive industry is relatively lagging behind, and there is a shortage of new cars**, so there is an increasing demand from consumers to buy used cars. To meet market demand, Kyrgyzstan relies on imported vehicles, which are subject to customs duties. Therefore, the tariff policy has played an important role in the development of the used car market in Kyrgyzstan.

The development of tariff policy dates back to the beginning of Kyrgyzstan's independence. Over the past few decades, Kyrgyzstan's tariff policy has undergone several adjustments and reforms. Initially, due to the weakness of Kyrgyzstan's own automotive industry, a lower tariff rate was adopted in order to attract imported vehicles and promote the development of the used car market. However, with the passage of time and changes in the economic situation, the tariff policy has been adjusted several times.

At present, Kyrgyzstan's import tariff policy for used cars is relatively complex. According to the relevant regulations, imported second-hand vehicles need to pay a certain percentage of customs duties, and the specific tax rate depends on factors such as the origin, brand and model of the vehicle. There is also a certain degree of uncertainty and opacity in the calculation method of tariffs, which brings certain problems to importers.

Kyrgyzstan's high tariff rate on used car imports has had an impact on both importers and consumers. High tariffs have increased the cost of imports, putting importers under pressure on selling prices. High tariffs have led to higher prices for used cars, limiting consumers' purchasing power and range of choices. These problems limit the development potential of the used car market in Kyrgyzstan.

2.The impact of tariff policy on the used car market in Kyrgyzstan

The impact of the tariff policy on the used car market in Kyrgyzstan cannot be ignored. The high tariff rate and the opacity of the calculation method have caused certain problems to importers and consumers, and have had a negative impact on the development of the used car market.

The high tariff rate increases the cost of importing used cars. According to the relevant regulations, imported second-hand vehicles need to pay a certain percentage of customs duties, and the specific tax rate depends on factors such as the origin, brand and model of the vehicle. High tariffs put importers under pressure on selling prices. Importers need to increase the price on top of the import cost to ensure profitability, which leads to a higher price of used cars, which makes the cost of consumers buy used cars increase accordingly.

High tariffs limit consumers' purchasing power and choice. Due to the high rate of used cars, many consumers cannot afford to buy a used car. This has limited the potential consumer group of the used car market and suppressed the market demand. High tariffs have also led to a reduced range of used car options. Consumers can only choose from the highest number of vehicles, and cannot choose the right used car according to their own needs and budget.

The tariff policy has had a negative impact on the used car market in Kyrgyzstan and restricts the development potential of the market. High tariff rates and opaque calculation methods have caused problems for importers and consumers, limiting the healthy development of the used car market.

In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to reform Kyrgyzstan's policy on import tariffs on used cars. Reducing tariff rates can be considered, reducing the cost of imported used cars, and increasing the purchasing power of consumers. It is necessary to improve the transparency and fairness of tariff calculation methods and ensure that the tariff calculation process is open, fair and transparent. This can increase the confidence of importers and promote the healthy development of the used car market.

The impact of the tariff policy on the used car market in Kyrgyzstan is far-reaching. The high tariff rate and the opaque calculation method have caused certain problems to importers and consumers, and restricted the development potential of the used car market. In order to promote the healthy development of the used car market, it is necessary to reform Kyrgyzstan's import tariff policy for used cars, reduce the tariff rate, and improve the transparency and fairness of the calculation method. This will contribute to the prosperity and development of the used car market in Kyrgyzstan.
