Li Xiangwan [In accordance with the General Administration of Customs issued the 43rd notice, from September 1 this year, personal mail entry, Customs levy import duties, but apply for import tax in RMB 50 (including 50 yuan) below, the customs exemption. And before, the exemption amount, Hong Kong and Macao region is 400 yuan, other countries and regions is 500 yuan, as one of the three major hubs of Chinese postal goods entry and exit, the Guangzhou port, the daily entry and exit mail items tens of thousands of times, even more than 30,000, in general, more than 3,000 daily entry　　There are 4 million postal mails a year down the border.　　Guangzhou Customs office Director Changwei recently accepted the "First financial daily" reporter said entry from the Guangzhou port parcel, is still the main personal items, cosmetics, milk powder, clothing, mobile phones, etc. are common mailing items, but do not rule out some trade goods were "makeover" after mixing this relatively convenient channel. "With the rise of online shopping, purchasing, personal goods by mail through the channel by some people have been loopholes, by splitting the commercial use of goods mailed, evade import tax and trade control." Under the new economic environment, it is necessary for the Customs and Excise Department to make corresponding adjustments to the original regulations.　　"Changwei said. According to the General administration of Customs issued the 43rd notice, from September 1 this year, personal mail entry, Customs levy import duties, but the import duty tax in RMB 50 (including 50 yuan) below, the Customs shall be exempted.　　Before, the exemption quota, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan region is 400 yuan, other countries and regions is 500 yuan. A Customs mail sample Guangzhou white-collar workers from overseas to buy shoes, clothing and other goods, are basically mail entry. Miss Huang likes to buy online, through some Taobao shop overseas purchase, often can dig some good things. For example, in Guangzhou shopping malls counter about 4000 yuan a pair of Italian brand SF shoes, through the purchase of only 2000 yuan to spend about it.　　In particular, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, many European brands in the discount, she even cost 800 yuan to buy a pair of Miumiu shoes, the original price of the shoes is 250 euros, after the sale of only 50 euros, after deducting various costs, the benefits are not only miss Huang, there are shop owners.　　She just again in Taobao an online shop under a single, commissioned this shop owner Zhang from the United States to purchase a Hawaiian style dress, talk about a good price is 798 yuan, the shopkeeper told, if ordered later, may be added dozens of yuan tariff. "After the online order, the general two weeks can receive goods, if the individual express faster, a week can receive, but to pay 60~80 yuan." I often wait for the spelling, so the price is more favorable, Zhang will send the parcel from the United States to domestic relatives, and then by his relatives forwarded to us these regulars.　　Because of the frequent visits to the shop, Miss Huang is quite familiar with its operation. Like Miss Huang such a network to buy more and more people to promote the rapid development of overseas purchasing market. According to Analysys International data, 2008 China's overseas generationThe market size has reached 2.895 billion yuan, an increase of 691%, the market growth rate is much higher than the overall development speed of online retail market.　　Purchasing "ant move" type of tax avoidance Yiao Lin (alias) cousin in Australia, these years, they two people through the domestic and overseas to purchase milk powder earn a lot of money. "My cousin in Australia to buy a large number of powdered milk, mailed back to China, as long as the milk powder sent not more than five cans, the basic can be tax-free smoothly customs clearance." "Yiao Lin said," Recently feel customs check more and more stringent, plus September 1 after the reduction of the duty-free point, we do not want to go gray zone, as business more and more, is preparing to register a business, according to the entry and exit of goods declaration procedures. "Customs on the import and export of personal parcel post management, strictly adhere to the relatives and friends of each other gifts, in order to use the principle of reasonable quantity." In order to facilitate normal intercourse, take care of reasonable needs, prevent speculative profit, customs to the entry and exit parcel set limits and limits, with the changes in the objective situation, the parcel post limits and limits have been adjusted many times. The Customs Department is currently implementing the relevant regulations issued by the General Administration of Customs in 1994, personal belongings sent to or from Hong Kong and Macao, with a limit of RMB 800 for each entry or exit, and a tax allowance of RMB 400; personal belongings sent from or to the above area, with a limit of 1000 yuan per permit , the tax allowance is RMB 500.　　The new regulation, which was introduced on September 1, adjusts the allowances and the limits are unchanged. Previously mailed items are essentially non-trade personal belongings, but with the rise of the internet shopping, purchasing, the situation is gradually changing, some traders to drill the loopholes in the law, the trade link before, in the overseas fragmented, has a ticket to split more than single, each package value and the number of items are controlled in accordance with the scope of the individual reasonable purchase,　　and therefore hitch a free ride. Customs occasionally from the parcel to check out some more than a reasonable amount of personal use of goods and to deal with them, but in the new situation, supervision is becoming more and more difficult.　　Changwei told reporters that the office of the day to check the entry and exit parcels at least thousands of pieces, in a very short period of time to separate personal use of reasonable goods and trade goods is not easy, different from the cargo entry and exit, postal goods are "see the object is not visible," to the overseas sender forensics very difficult In Changwei's view, the customs ' adjustment to the allowances is a more feasible method of plugging, there is no reason for purchasing to take a special duty-free channel, purchasing should stand on the same starting line with other commercial forms of fair and impartial competition, the new provisions may be active in the major websites of overseas purchasing industry impact larger,　　But it is advantageous to promote the new business model more normative development. The lowering of the duty-free starting point will inevitably increase the monitoring workload of the Customs and Excise Department. To tie in with the implementation of the new regulations, Guangzhou Customs has been ready from the staffing, supervision, information and so on. Changwei suggested that if you wish to smooth customs clearance, the sender of the best truthfully fill out the mail details, and as far as possible the name, quantity, weight, value, etc.Fill out the situation clearly.
