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
