　　Answer：

　　Trinity Ltd

　　(a)Cosmetic packs

　　Customs duty = (USD100，000 x 6.5% x 6)= RMB39，000

　　Composite value for consumption tax = ((100，000 x 6 + 39，000)÷(1-30%))= RMB912，857

　　Consumption tax on importation = (912，857 x 30%) = RMB273，857

　　(b)Lipsticks

　　VAT refundable on export = (400，000 x 13%) = RMB52，000

　　(c)Face powder

　　Consumption tax on production and sale = (250，000 x 30%) = RMB75，000
