Two Pnational Giants Are Suspected Of The Biggest Oil Smuggling In China In The Past Ten Years.

In March 22nd, Dou Sheng Yuan Jiao

Dou's identity is China business manager of KOLMAR, a multinational company.

After the Spring Festival this year, he was taken away by the customs general task force to help investigate the "power kerosene" smuggling case.

He was also taken away with him to assist in the investigation, as well as Li Buhua, director of the Beijing Representative Office of Glencore resources Singapore Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Glencore").

Jiaren is the world's largest.

Informed sources told reporters that the "power kerosene" smuggling case is one of the largest oil smuggling cases investigated by customs in recent years.

The company involved only smuggled 800 thousand tons of refined oil in -12 months in August 2010, involving billions of dollars, and only leaked fuel consumption tax amounting to nearly 1 billion yuan.

"The case

The relevant departments of the customs have interviewed reporters on the grounds of "supervising the case of the General Administration at the stage of investigation".

However, the insider said that Dou Shengyuan and others' bail pending trial means that the investigation phase of the case has ended, and then the customs anti smuggling authorities will enter into the pretrial, sentencing and other links of related institutions and personnel.

The details of the case are open to the time.

It is reported that Glencore, who is involved, will announce the initial public offering plan in the near future.

In terms of revenue, the company has a larger scale than Nestle, Novartis and UBS.

BP, Total and other multinational giants are one of their luxury customer lists.

The mysterious enterprise has been making a fortune in 40 years, and its profit after tax in 2008 has exceeded 4 billion 750 million dollars.

Dou Shengyuan and Li Buhua are both celebrities in the oil circle. They not only have rich experience in shopping mall fighting, but also accumulate a large number of connections in the circle, but they are all planted in "power kerosene".

It is understood that the power kerosene used to be a kerosene used for heating and lighting. Before the end of the nineteenth Century, the incandescent lamp appeared widely in the North American fuel market. Then it changed from the main function of petroleum to the direction of power and energy, and gradually faded from the international oil market.

However, in recent years, the shortage of domestic refined oil, especially diesel, has led to the emergence of this disappearing product, because importers can import these resources into the domestic market at a price lower than the domestic market price at 1000 yuan / ton, thereby gaining huge profits.

A report from the market consultancy, energy and energy, showed that in April 2009, when the domestic diesel supply was tight, a large number of imported power kerosene suddenly appeared in customs statistics, and the import volume reached 70 thousand tons in that month. Subsequently, with the "oil shortage", its import volume also shrank rapidly. Until August 2010, when oil shortage broke out again, its import volume increased rapidly.

"According to customs data, the import volume of other kerosene fractions increased steadily from 70 thousand tons in August to 480 thousand tons in December, of which imports reached a record high in December."

The report says.

The report pointed out that the so-called "other kerosene distillate" contains power kerosene.

In 2010, customs data showed that the total amount of other kerosene distillates imported from China reached 16 million 330 thousand tons, an increase of 354% over the same period last year.

In the anti smuggling operation of the General Administration of customs, the total amount of power kerosene has been confirmed to be more than 80 tons, while two multinational companies, Gore chemical and Glencore, are important importers identified by the Customs Department.

Based on this calculation, the price difference of fuel consumption tax is only 800 yuan per ton, and if the value-added tax is increased above this, it will be very easy for importers of smuggling power kerosene to get 1000 yuan / ton profit.

"More importantly, the Guangdong market has always had a tight supply of refined oil. The price of refined oil in Guangdong is the highest in the highest price limit stipulated by the state, so there is enough room for the smugglers to make profits," said Yao Daming, Minister of oil products of Guangdong oil and Gas Association.

According to him, Guangdong is a pfer station between the north oil south pportation project and the East oil West delivery project. When the supply of oil products is tight in the whole country, the resources in the north are hard to go south, and all the resources of the southwest provinces are all dependent on Guangdong. Therefore, Guangdong is always the most prominent Province in the oil shortage contradiction.

"At present, the market price of" II "0# diesel has reached 8155 yuan / ton, and the wholesale price of" Guo III "0# diesel has reached 8358 yuan / ton, which is close to the highest retail price stipulated by the state.

He said.

Therefore, whenever oil shortage occurs, a large number of smuggling and imported refined oil will become an inevitable choice for some businesses. After all, the market is vast and huge profits.

"The existence of price difference at home and abroad is not that who is using monopoly to get rich, and the fuel consumption tax has been taken away by the state, and it is used for highway construction, public pport and other public utilities subsidies. Tax evasion means the loss of the country".

However, due to the high cost of supervision and the difficulty of supervision, the relevant departments did not come up with effective supervision measures since the implementation of the self fuel oil consumption tax, so as to reduce or even eliminate such incidents.

In fact, there has been no shortage of refined oil smuggling in recent years.

In 2010, some local refining enterprises sold the refined oil to the market in the name of asphalt, which was punished by the relevant departments. In the provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, the cases of smuggling of ants moving by motorboats by sea fishermen occurred in this year.
