August 1, the General administration of Customs issued "on cross-border trade in goods, goods and articles related to the supervision of the matter of the notice", this is the first of our country to engage in cross-border electric business and behavior of enterprises and individuals regulations, indicating that the relevant departments began to pay attention to and set out to standardize the overseas purchasing industry What are the problems in the industry? Why is regulation frequent bottlenecks? Can the new rules become the "Terminator" of the wild age of purchasing overseas? In this respect, the reporter launches an investigation.
It's a secret, a mess, a fascinating eye.
As long as the domestic brand shop price of 67 percent, you can buy the same products, this temptation for many people is difficult to resist. For a time, overseas purchasing became the new favorite. However, the ensuing market turmoil quickly pushed the industry into the wilderness of development and was criticized.
"Take the duty-free shop photo, keep the invoice small ticket, gift bag, dustproof bag, instruction manual ..." Li Lin in the UK is always busy before the holiday, in Taobao, QQ, micro-letter on the purchase of information, earn the difference to buy a return ticket. In the Li Lin side, participate in purchasing a lot of students, but "doorway" different. Some people are even specially responsible for receiving domestic parcels, change a package, and then send back the original route.
"Go abroad around a circle, ' Shanzhai ' become a big brand." Xu Xiao, who is engaged in overseas purchasing for 4 years, is dismissive of this behavior, but helpless.
Lin in Canada to run an online shop, daily micro-letter on the promotion of a variety of international brand bags, the release of their own goods in foreign photos, dubbed "Foreign Trade Original single" "counter Take goods" and other gimmicks, orders constantly. The Li Lin explanation of the way of purchasing, the so-called "foreign Trade original single", most are in accordance with the same leather, the same process of production of bags, but hardware accessories is "cottage".
Grey area, standardized management difficult to implement
General administration of Customs officials said that for a long time, the overseas purchasing behavior, according to the entry and exit of personal postal articles related to the provisions to deal with, and there is no specific specific laws and regulations to define and restrain. Some people to the import of the taxable "goods" split into multiple votes, false newspaper for personal "goods", through the mail, express channels into the passage, has exceeded the "reasonable, for personal use" scope, in essence, the utilization of individual items duty-free concessions, evade customs duties, profiteering.
However, in practice, it is difficult to clearly define whether or not customs clearance items belong to the scope of "reasonable and personal use". Xu Xiao Frankly, in its 4 years of overseas purchasing, "buy hands" frequent cargo entry and exit, has been tax-free, has never been the customs card.
The problem of real supervision makes the overseas purchasing industry become a gray area, and the quality of goods and safety problems follow. Because of the difficulty of obtaining evidence, consumers ' rights are hard to protect.
"Buyers themselves can not distinguish the true and false goods, and it is impossible to go to the shopping malls counter inspection, the sellers naturally Fearless." "Xu Xiao that the relationship between buyers and sellers overseas all rely on integrity, to consumer rights to create insurmountable obstacles."
Combination of congestion, new rules and regulations for purchasing industry
The new rules of August 1 are considered to enable the overseas purchasing industry to enter into the normative operating stage. According to the new rules, overseas purchasing is included in the tax system, personal purchasing behavior to take the "List of nuclear" way to deal with the entry and exit of electronic commerce customs formalities, and to the Customs to submit orders, payments, logistics and other information to facilitate monitoring, consumer rights will have to be checked. Incomplete formalities of overseas purchasing behavior, suspected of smuggling, tax evasion, will be subject to customs punishment.
The new rules of congestion, allowing overseas purchasing behavior exists, but strict supervision, so that the personal shop overseas purchasing business is greatly impacted.
Lin Frankly, according to the new rules, counterfeit "day trip abroad" does not work, the real goods to pay a lot of taxes, the cost will be greatly improved, but if the new rules are not processed, it is possible to be sued smuggling. "Wait and see, the situation is not good to change careers." ”
A staff member of Shenzhen Customs said that in the supervision, industry and commerce, customs, taxation, quality inspection, banking and many other departments are still in the individual combat phase, the Government should strengthen the system of the top design and co-ordination.
