Former IDG Investor: The Foreign Trade electricity trader has the resolute cannot say secret bug

http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/26842.html "> Foreign Trade Power Market space is huge, especially for export, there have been a large number of players on the scale, such as the Orchid Pavilion set potential, in Hong Kong, the listing of the DX and so on, The scale of income has even reached billion-dollar levels. And according to the public data statistics, has won the wind investment has nearly 10 home.

But an investor who worked for IDG said that foreign-trade dealers are still adamant that they cannot "say" business, with a bomb on their heads that could detonate at any time: the tax problem.

Once the party is serious, it must be able to find out the problem

Before the general administration of Customs and China Mail has an agreement: if the recipient is an individual, packet mail can not be taxed. But this rule is now obsolete. That makes many of the foreign-trade dealers still facing the risk of tax evasion charges.

The Government has not yet come to the trouble of the export of electricity dealers, the small series estimates there are mainly two reasons.

One is that the number of small bags is too large, ordinary one ebay sellers may have hundreds of packets a day, like DX a day even have tens of thousands of orders to be shipped, so, the whole of China added that is an astronomical, even if the exporter is willing to each small package according to the normal customs clearance procedures, the customs may also be beyond reach, the benefits are very low.

Another reason is that exports can boost employment and GDP. At present, the global economy is still not a boom, export situation is grim, let these exporters to digest domestic export processing plant capacity, is not a good thing. This differential treatment can also be seen from the "stewardess smuggling case" was sentenced to the government's focus on the crackdown. The problem is that not screwing with you now doesn't mean you won't do it in the future.

In addition, not only the domestic tax problems, foreign has already done. Foreign Trade Service Co., Ltd. Shenzhen, a general vice president of the Xiaofeng said that the current in Europe, such as Belgium and other countries have a large number of small packet mail from China tax. Of course, because the shipper is not found, the current is to the local consignee levy import duties. That's definitely not good news.

Here, you can insert a contingency trick about DX. It was alleged that the company had procured in the name of a Hong Kong company and asked the supplier to send the goods to Hong Kong, so as to avoid such issues as customs clearance. There is no doubt that it is a question of whether the cost will be transferred to the factory.

Foreign trade electric business shell company too much, investment organization difficult to manage

Foreign trade is to make money, but in order to avoid the risk of a variety of different conventional mode of operation, which for investors in the post management, but is a very big obstacle, and then affect whether investment.

For example, because of the potential risk of intellectual property and taxes, once a lawsuit is involved, even a certain percentage of customer ratings, ebay and other electric platform can close your account, the U.S. government can directly cover your site. In this way, smart Chinese have opened multiple accounts (and, of course, the need to run a variety of products) and set up numerous shell companies for them. It is said that a foreign trade electric Shangguang in the United States has more than 20 shell companies, each shell company to operate a product. So, even if a shell company is hit, it will not be annihilated.

But it also causes investors to want to vote and not to vote. According to the investor, the statements of these shell companies are not uniform and the investment companies are difficult to manage uniformly, and even if the consolidated statements are not legally binding, the merger is meaningless.

The electric dealer can't even beat the offline retailer.

such as cosmetics, luxury goods and other categories, because of tariffs and other reasons, there is still a huge difference at home and abroad. There seems to be a huge amount of room to operate, but that's not really the case at all.

The investor cited some specific problems encountered by the cosmetics electric quotient "rice son" as an example. If the purchase from abroad according to the normal channels, because the cosmetics into the goods tax as high as 87%, so that even in the face of Vientiane City side of the traditional cosmetics retailer, rice son also has no price advantage. The reason is that, in the traditional cosmetics retailer's sales structure, usually a tax on the genuine licensed goods usually corresponds to seven or eight pieces of dutiable contraband. As a result, even with expensive counter rents, profits are still substantial. Such a site to survive, but also only sell smuggled goods, but play smuggling, usually not the director of electrical business practitioners.

One of the jokes, it is said that someone in the rice son under a hundreds of thousands of yuan order, but then returned, the initial diagnosis is a competitor's spoof. Due to foreign suppliers can not return, only when the inventory or promote the slow digestion.

Of course, the shrewd you may ask, since the trap reef so many, why not only can the foreign trade dealers survive, but also live very well? Why do so many investors continue to trade in the electricity business? Sequel to talk about the ecology and play of foreign trade electric dealers.
