The customs tariff adjustment policy has been released for more than a month. Many sellers who are engaged in overseas purchasing by mail are pessimistic about purchasing prospects, claiming that their business is difficult to make. They are determined to "evacuate".

According to the announcement of the General Administration of customs, from September 1st, China will adjust the policy of personal mail delivery and entry, and tax will be imposed according to different categories if the import tax exceeds 50 yuan.

Prior to that, the tax threshold for goods from Hong Kong, Macao and overseas (excluding Hong Kong and Macao) was 400 and 500 yuan respectively.

It is understood that the 50 yuan tax exemption does not mean that "goods sent to the value of 50 yuan will be taxed", but refers to "the amount of tax payable".

The "duty payable" may refer to the customs value list of entry passengers' baggage items and personal postal items amended in June 2007 by the General Administration of customs.

Reporters log on to Taobao, eBay, etc.

The reporter learned from a Shanghai purchasing agency that compared with Hongkong, Singapore and other duty-free ports, the sale of duty-free goods at domestic airports is limited, but most of them are hot products and have absolute advantages in price.

For example, Estee Lauder's many cosmetics, the price of Pudong airport is almost the lowest in the world. In addition, the panda and China and other cigarettes are also cheaper than the foreign duty free stores in domestic airports.

The purchase also told reporters that consumers had to take out the territory after shopping at duty-free shops at the airport.

But nowadays, many duty-free shops have specially provided the goods depository service in order to increase sales volume.

That is to say, when consumers buy goods at the exit, they can wait for the goods when they enter the country. This is convenient for consumers, but also opens the green light for mass purchase of "airport purchasing".

Staff can't help purchase.

Then, is it possible to buy duty-free goods at the airport or engage in the "airport purchase" business? For this reason, the Shanghai Airport (600009) responsible person clearly stated "impossible!"

The person in charge told reporters that after entering the duty-free shop, there will be accompanied and guided shopping.

When passengers purchase good commodities, they must show their passport and other valid certificates and boarding passes when they check out, indicating the identity of outbound passengers before they can buy duty-free goods.

"No non exit personnel, including airport staff, duty free staff, etc., are not allowed to purchase duty-free commodities without effective entry and exit certificates and boarding passes."

The director also said that duty-free shop workers had to wear tooling when they entered the airport quarantine area, and they could not carry personal belongings such as bags, cell phones and so on. Therefore, it was almost impossible for the staff to "get the water on the platform first."

An airport duty-free shop salesperson also told reporters that if they found that passengers bought a large number of duty-free goods at once, they would immediately report to the customs.

"The sale of duty-free goods on the" airport purchase "is often commissioned by frequent business travelers and airline attendants and pilots.

High price pfer of duty free goods is a smuggling act.

According to the Announcement No. 132nd of the General Administration of Customs of China, the sales target of duty-free goods is limited to those who have already gone through the formalities of exit formalities, those who are about to go abroad, and those who have not yet gone through the entry formalities.

"Airport purchase" pfers the high price of duty-free goods to ordinary citizens, and it is unavoidable to have the suspicion of illegal smuggling.

In this regard, the Customs Department pointed out that the "airport purchase" will bring the duty free products to the urban area without authorization, but the small will result in the return of commodities, which will have an impact on the sales of domestic products. Such behavior is already a smuggling behavior. If the circumstances are lighter, administrative penalties will be imposed. If a crime is constituted, criminal liability shall be investigated in accordance with the law.

The Customs Department also reminded passengers that although there were no quantitative restrictions on the purchase of goods at duty-free shops, they should be properly controlled in accordance with the principle of reasonable quantity of their own use.

Otherwise, when the passengers return the duty-free goods to enter the territory, the customs will not release the goods that exceed the reasonable quantity of the sum and the prescribed limit and limit value.

Under such circumstances, passengers must also go through customs procedures such as refund or tax payment within the prescribed time limit.
