Cheap products for overseas products

In addition to luxury goods and electronic products, in fact, the most expensive items for outbound shopping are cosmetics.

It is understood that the local best selling cosmetics Clinique, its moisturizing lotion "butter" in Taiwan, the price is 350 yuan a bottle, here it costs 590 yuan.

Luxury cosmetics like Estee Lauder and Lancome are 20% to 30% cheaper than local ones. L'OREAL and Shiseido are 15% to 20% cheaper.

Recently, Shijiazhuang has let guide friends from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau slightly Abbott, Dumex milk powder has also appeared.

"These things are cheap on the one hand, and consumables on the other hand, and people also think the quality is very good."

Generally speaking, travel agencies are afraid of affecting tourist journeys and require tour guides not to purchase. However, there are also a few cases where guests help tour guides bring milk powder, perfume and cosmetics.

Due to frequent travel in different areas, there are also tour guides privately purchasing products.

The products they choose are generally higher priced cosmetics and foods.

Of course, after all, tourist guides and tourists are in the minority. Some overseas students and people with resources are also expanding the purchasing business from overseas to the mainland.

Moreover, due to the difference between the two places, these abnormal means are becoming the main means for more and more consumers to purchase imported goods.

Careful citizens will find that more and more people are looking for various kinds of channels such as checker shop, network, purchasing agent and so on when they buy foreign cosmetics and milk powder.

New action,

Some commodities import tax has been lowered.

The reason for "affordable" purchase is that these products have high entry tax.

It is reported that, in addition to paying VAT and import duties, cosmetics import also has to pay 30% of the consumption tax and pay more than 50% of the total tax. A barrel of milk powder has to pay 17% of the value-added tax and 40% of the customs duties. If it is most favored nation, it will pay 5% of the duty and 17% of the value-added tax.

In addition, tariff is not the whole factor of the high price of imported goods. The high cost of domestic circulation is no longer a news.

Or outbound travel to buy more expensive luxury goods, or to find purchasing agents to buy foreign civilian consumer goods, the difference between the inside and outside is too wide, so that more and more money is supporting overseas GDP.

According to the data monitoring report of China's e-commerce market in 2010, the market scale of overseas purchases reached 12 billion yuan.

Most of these purchases did not pay customs duties.

"In fact, the tariff is becoming more and more stringent, and customs has begun to levy taxes on goods worth more than 5000 yuan, which has already reduced the volume of shopping for some tourists."

A travel agency manager said.

But after all, "blocking is not as sparse as possible", so that the price of foreign products return to value is the fundamental way to guide the consumption direction of domestic tourists.

It is understood that at present, the State Administration of Taxation has begun to reduce taxes on imports of some commodities.

In the near future, the adjustment of import consumption tax will be abolished, and the consumption tax on cosmetics will be abolished. The consumption tax on gold and jewellery will be abolished in the long term, and import tariffs will also be further reduced.

All these will allow these commodities to be imported in a normal way, and at the same time mean that the prices of some imported commodities may be greatly reduced.

On the one hand, it can prevent tax evasion, and on the other hand, it can keep some of its consumption in China.
