Customs Responds To The New Rules On Entry Tax &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Calls For Integration With Developed Countries.

In view of the recent iPad thousand yuan import tax is accused of excessive storm.

The Customs General Administration said that the duty paid price was regulated.

Through the media, the General Administration of Customs issued a "reporter's question on the standards of inspection and approval of goods carried by inbound and outbound passengers" by the General Administration of customs.

According to the Q & a content of yesterday's issue of China radio network, Huang Yi, director of the supervision department of the General Administration of customs, was less than 4000 yuan to reflect the passengers' iPad, but the customs had to respond to the question of levying taxes of 5000 yuan when entering the country.

Huang Yi also said that because the management of personal postal articles is based on convenience and simplification, in order to avoid the inconvenience caused by the price of personal belongings in customs clearance, the customs determines the commodity category and the duty paid price according to the classification table and the duty paying price list.

Because of the difference in location, time and type of purchase, the actual paction price will be different even in the classification list. Some of them are higher than those listed in the price list, and some are lower than the price listed in the price list.

He said that according to the "dutiable price list", the general duty paid price for notebook computers is 5000 yuan. This price takes into account the price of some laptop computers is slightly higher than that of 5000 yuan, and the price of some laptop computers is slightly lower than that of 5000 yuan.

Yellow will be adjusted regularly.

The Ministry of commerce refers to a tax of over 1000 yuan.

The iPad thousand dollar tax storm has attracted much attention. Relevant departments of the Ministry of Commerce issued a consultation letter to the General Administration of customs.

Earlier this newspaper reported that the Ministry of Commerce put forward the iPad thousand yuan tax, which is inconsistent with the WTO rules.

First, the WTO information technology agreement requires IT products to gradually reduce tariffs to zero. At present, the highest value-added tax rate is 17% in China, and the computer tariff is zero and no consumption tax. Therefore, the import tariff rate of iPad is obviously 20%. Secondly, the price of iPad products is only 3000 yuan, and the customs tariff for iPad is 5000 yuan, which is not consistent with WTO's customs valuation agreement.

Yesterday, the customs did not respond to whether they were inconsistent with the WTO rules, nor did they respond to the question of exchange rate.

Huang Yi, head of the supervision department of the General Administration of the General Administration of the customs administration, responded that the 5000 yuan personal goods exemption limit was considered too low. Considering the difference in the level of national economic development, the amount of the tax exemption limit stipulated in the developed countries is basically equal to that of the developed countries.

He explained that it is a relatively common international practice to impose a tax exemption limit on baggage items carried by incoming passengers. It is also widely adopted by all countries to impose taxes on all goods beyond the limit value.

At present, the tax exemption limit for personal belongings of residents in China is 5000 yuan, and the exemption limit for personal belongings of non resident passengers is 2000 yuan.

Some passengers have suggested that any high-grade item will exceed the limit specified by the customs.

Huang responded that the customs mainly levies taxes on the items that the residents of the territory have acquired overseas, and those which are intended to remain in the territory of non resident passengers.

Customs shall not levy taxes on the original personal belongings that passengers bring into or out of the territory.
