Customs General Administration Responds To Taxation Of Over 5000 Yuan In Overseas Shopping

At present, the society is right.

On the 14 th, he interviewed Huang Yi, head of the Customs Department's supervision department. He said that the baggage provisions for incoming passengers were required.

Reporter: some people in the community think that the customs regulations on the "5000 yuan" for residents and the "2000 yuan" limit for non residents are too strict. What do you think?

Huang Yi: at present, it is a relatively common international practice to stipulate the tax exemption limit for baggage items carried by incoming passengers. It is also widely adopted by all countries to impose taxes on all goods beyond the limit value.

As far as we know, Australia's tax exemption limit for imported personal belongings is 900 Australian dollars, Britain is 390 pounds, Germany is 430 euros, the United States has a tax-free limit of $800 for personal belongings to the residents of the entry country, the exemption limit for personal belongings of non resident passengers is 100 dollars, and Korea's tax-free limit for imported personal belongings is 400 dollars.

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.

Taking into account the difference in the level of national economic development, the amount of tax exemption limits for personal articles determined by China is basically the same as that stipulated by the developed countries.
