Purchasing website "Ant move" bring goods to enter

Yesterday, the Ministry of Commerce spokesman said that 20 brands of high-end consumer goods in the domestic market price is 45% higher than the Hong Kong region, 51% higher than the United States, 72% higher than France, which is not reasonable and fair for domestic consumers. Tax experts told reporters yesterday that the three major categories of goods are expected to be significantly lower tariffs, some people's livelihood related consumer goods and luxury goods, etc. or in the column.

The report of China Electronic Commerce Research Center shows that by the end of June 2010, the number of domestic purchasing sites has soared to 480, and is developing at a rapid pace, by the end of 2010, the number of domestic purchasing sites reached about thousands.

and help these purchasing website "Ant Move" is the main opportunity to go abroad foreign trade practitioners, tour guides, flight attendants, seafarers, international students, or foreign friends have a friend of college students, they are well-known brands in foreign stores or department stores to buy a large amount, and then returned to the client by himself, the purchase of people charged purchasing fees.

This "folk import trade" growth is swift and violent, 2010 China E-commerce market Data Monitoring report shows that 2010 overseas purchasing market transactions reached 12 billion yuan, compared with the previous year's increase of 140%; it is expected that the size of 2011 will still double growth to 24.1 billion yuan.

The profiteering of the purchasing industry is also surprising. A domestic specialized in a luxury purchase of the seller told reporters: "A Chanel bag, domestic price of 30,000 yuan, foreign counters sell 24,000 ~2.5 million yuan, generally dozen 70 percent-80 percent, after folding also on the 16,800 ~2 million purchase, I generally sell 25,000 ~2.6 million." According to this calculation, gross margin of more than 50%.

She gave the journalist an account, "I work with a stewardess, stewardess 1-2 weeks to a Paris, France, each time to bring back 10~20 LV or Chanel bag, then once there are 20,000 ~4 million profit, two people 55 divided, each person can get almost 40,000 per month, 400,000 of the annual profit. ”

Mofcom: Imports are undervalued by tens of billions of of dollars

The influence of purchasing industry on China's import trade has aroused the attention of relevant departments. Yesterday, the Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian said in a routine press conference, a large number of tourists to buy goods back, some people said that China's individual purchase amount of a single overseas is about 1000 U.S. dollars, there are so many Chinese overseas tourists, they bring back the goods are not included in the customs statistics, This in effect led to an underestimation of China's imports by tens of billions of of billions of dollars, which would also affect the balance of trade judgments. This is also unfair to domestic consumers.

According to the Ministry of Commerce survey, watches, bags, clothing, alcohol, electronic products, the five categories of 20 brands of high-end consumer goods, domestic and foreign spreads quite large, the domestic market than Hong Kong region is about 45% higher than the United States 51%, higher than France 72%. Liu Huan, deputy dean of Taxation College, Central University of Finance and Economics, said to our correspondent, "domestic purchasing owners to obtain high price difference for the purpose."

For the reasons for the formation of spreads, Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian said, 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.

Tax countermeasures

Three categories of products or tariff reduction

Not long ago, the State administration of taxation revealed that some of the imports of goods tax will be reduced, milk powder and cosmetics, luxury goods, etc. or listed in order to allow these goods to import in a normal way to prevent the loss of tax revenue.

Liu Huan that the tariffs of three types of goods may be reduced: first, resource products, the second is High-tech products, and the third is closely related to the people and People's livelihood consumer goods, "with the people of consumer goods tariffs should not be set too high, such as milk powder, this is the trend." ”

In addition, the tariff adjustment, can reduce some scarce resources and ecological environment damage pressure, but also to a certain extent, increase the supply pressure of the country, conducive to the domestic industry to better optimize the industry, product structure.

Liu Huan that, as long as there is a certain tax difference between home and abroad, the purchase has a living space, once our country's purchase and sale system has formed, and foreign differences small, the scope of the industry will become smaller.

He believes that, after the reduction of national tax links, at present through the tax difference as the main living space of the purchasing industry will be affected, but those who can understand the foreign market, can give buyers to seek a better source of the formal industry still has room for development, and those who tax, evade the tariffs of the merchants will undoubtedly be eliminated.
