Letter from Tim Cook to Apple Investors

Seems weird to me too that people in China pay duty on a Chinese made phone. You say it's not weird. I think it's weird, like the guy you responded to. Difference of opinion I guess.

Hey, it may seem weird, but here's one way it might work. Again, I know jack-shit about the specifics.

If some portion of the phone is imported, and that portion has duties, under normal circumstances Apple's subcontractor would import that thing, pay the duty on it, then export the phone and file for the duties to be refunded.

If the phone stays in China, the duty applies. So there may be duties involved if there are materials imported to China for assembly.
