The tax rate is 20%. For example, if your camera costs 10000 Chinese yuan, you should pay CNY2000.

By the way, the exchange rate between American dollar and Chinese yuan is 1 dollar = 6.84 Chinese yuan

The above reply is only for your reference.

If the 6 are not planning to keep the camera in China, they must pay the 20% anyway? I thought Declaration is only if you plan to keep item over 2000 yuan in China?

OR you mean 20% is paid to Customs as deposit and they can get the 20% back when they exit ? I am not clear.
