Ministry of commerce: luxury prices within high and low unfair

BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) Wang, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said in a press conference today, according to the Ministry of Commerce survey, watches, bags, clothing, alcohol, electronic products, the five products of the 20 brands of high-end consumer goods, the domestic market price is higher than Hong Kong, China 45%, higher than the 72% higher than France.　　Yao said that some of the international brands of luxury goods prices "inside high outside the low", such a market price difference is not fair to China, the Chinese people are not too fair.　　Because of the difference in internal and external prices, many Chinese tourists go abroad to buy a large number of goods, are not counted in the customs, resulting in China's imports underestimated tens of billions of of dollars.　　Yao Analysis, the cause of the price difference is three points: first, there are differences in the distribution system and pricing system of multinational companies; Secondly, the types of domestic brand goods are relatively few, the choice of consumers is also relatively small; third, we can not avoid the comprehensive import duty rate of some brand commodities is still relatively high, including tariffs, excise tax. He said that as the domestic consumption level increased, previously considered luxury consumer goods now become the general public consumer goods. The Ministry of Commerce is working with the Customs and Excise Department to improve the domestic policy of processing trade products, through the domestic sales of processing trade products, through the improvement of the distribution system, to gradually solve this problem through the further rationalization of the tax regime.
