Say if someone wants to import a certain amount of goods into the country (say 500 items) directly from China, where can we find the info about importing taxes, etc.?

If you are planning to start a business importing items into the USA, I suggest you read the following US Bureau of Custom's papers
Importing into the United States: A Practical Guide for Commercial Importers http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/toolbox/publications/trade/iius.ctt/iius.pdf -- this is a 200-page document that tells you the eligible items you can import and the invoices required, among other things
How Cargo Flows Securely into the US http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/import/cargo_summary/cargo_flow_map.ctt/cargo_flow_map.pdf
US Embassy (look at the last page as it has a good link of websites for additional info) http://canada.usembassy.gov/content/can_usa/borderissues_brochure.pdf
Other websites worth checking are:
CMTAC Trade Information Database http://latrade.cmtac.org/trade_info/index.cfm
Dont's of Importing http://www.gattiassociates.com/CM/Articles/Articles1277.asp
Flowchart of the export process http://www.export.gov/exportbasics/index.asp
Going Global http://www.going-global.com/articles/
These trade association websites also have loads of information on how to start an export import business:
Federation of International Trade Association http://fita.org/index.html

I think you need a Chinese person to help you find what you need in China, and I know a website can provide the service , the service is called "Person to Person" http://www.knowhowing.com/persontoperson.htm ï¼ through the service you just like engage a "agent" in China to help you to find what you need in China.

Importing is big business so you could face alot of competition. Call your local courthouse they would have the information you would need on importing goods.
