< p > < < a href= > http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_q.asp > < < opinions on implementing the relevant policies on the retail export of cross border e-commerce > > < /a > (hereinafter referred to as "opinion") the main purpose is to solve the practical problems of the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce in China in recent years, especially the cross-border e-commerce enterprises under the consumer mode, the existing management system, policies, regulations and existing environmental conditions can not meet their development requirements, and support the healthy and rapid development of cross-border e-commerce retail exports.

< /p >

< p > "opinion" is divided into 3 parts, a total of 12.

The first part is the specific supporting policies, including the classification of the main body of e-commerce export business, the establishment of a new customs supervision mode adapted to the export of electronic commerce, special statistics, the establishment of a suitable inspection and supervision mode, the support of the normal collection and settlement of enterprises, the encouragement of banking institutions and Payment institutions to provide payment services for cross-border e-commerce, the implementation of appropriate tax policies, and the establishment of an e-commerce export credit system.

The second part is the implementation requirements.

Since the issuance of the "opinions", the above policies have been tried in 5 cities, such as Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Zhengzhou, which have launched cross-border trade e-commerce clearance services.

Since October 1, 2013, the above policies have been implemented in the national conditional areas.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, it also clearly defined the responsibilities of the 9 departments of the Ministry of Commerce, the development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of customs, and put forward clear requirements for local governments to carry out the "opinions".

The third part is about other matters, which mainly define the retail export of cross-border e-commerce, and the supplementary explanation of cross-border e-commerce enterprises on the export of enterprises and the import of cross-border e-commerce. It points out that the current export of enterprises to enterprises is mainly based on the general trade mode, and is still implemented according to the relevant trade policies.

The relevant policies on cross-border e-commerce import will be studied separately.

< /p >

< p > the director of the foreign trade division of the Ministry of Commerce and the director of the Electronic Commerce Division interpreted the opinions.

The relevant people of the Ministry of Commerce believe that < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > e-commerce export < /a > has great difference with traditional trade mode in terms of paction mode, goods pportation, payment and settlement.

The existing management system, policies, regulations and existing environmental conditions have been unable to meet their development requirements. The main problems are concentrated in customs, inspection and quarantine, taxation and payment and remittance.

< /p >

< p > < strong > aiming at the above problems, the opinions put forward 6 specific measures: < /strong > /p >

< p > one is to set up a new customs supervision mode for Electronic Commerce export and carry out special statistics, which is mainly used to solve the problem that retail export is unable to handle the statistics of customs supervision.

At present, the export of e-commerce is widely used in aviation parcel, mail, courier and so on. The main body of customs declaration is postal or express company.

Therefore, this part of exports can not be included in the supervision and statistics of Customs Trade in goods.

After the establishment of the new regulatory mode, the customs conducts centralized supervision on the export commodities of the main business entities, and adopts the way of checklist, summary and declaration to handle customs formalities and reduce customs declaration fees.

The operator can submit relevant electronic documents on the Internet, and apply to the Customs for issuing the declaration documents in accordance with the requirements of the foreign exchange and taxation departments after the goods are actually leaving the country.

At the same time, the export of e-commerce will be included in the customs statistics.

< /p >

< p > two is the establishment of e-commerce export inspection and supervision mode, mainly to solve the problem of Electronic Commerce export can not be used for inspection and quarantine.

According to the current system, the exporters should check the products of the legal inspection in the producing areas and pay a certain fee.

The export commodities of e-commerce are characterized by extensive sources, lots of batches, small quantities and low amount of single items. It is difficult to carry out inspection in the producing areas according to the requirements.

After the establishment of the inspection and supervision mode, inspection and quarantine records or admittance management will be carried out for the export enterprises and their products of e-commerce, and the third party inspection and accreditation bodies shall be used for the conformity assessment of product quality and safety.

The system of full declaration should be implemented mainly by quarantine supervision, and general industrial products will no longer be subject to legal inspection.

The implementation of centralized declaration, centralized handling related inspection and quarantine procedures convenient measures.

< p > < /p >.

< p > three is to support enterprises' normal collection and settlement of foreign exchange, mainly to solve the problem that enterprises are facing with difficulties in processing foreign exchange receipts at present.

At present, because the export of electronic commerce has not been included in the supervision and statistics of Customs Trade in goods, the customs declaration system is mainly a postal or express company, and the foreign exchange management department is unable to confirm the authenticity of trade and goods logistics.

After the promulgation of the opinions, the business entities will be allowed to apply for the establishment of foreign exchange accounts and handle the export settlement business with the customs declaration information.

At the same time, the regulatory authorities will strengthen the supervision of banks and business entities through cross-border e-commerce.

< /p >

< p > four is to encourage banks and Payment institutions to provide payment services for cross-border e-commerce, mainly to solve the weak links in payment services.

At present, the cooperation between the banking industry and the international Third Party Payment institutions is not enough, and the low degree of internationalization of the enterprises that I pay for, which leads to the weak ability of cross-border payment services of local payment enterprises, has not been widely adopted by overseas buyers, and there are very few local payment service enterprises with international influence.

Under the new policy, payment agencies can apply for foreign exchange funds or cross-border payment of RMB funds for electronic commerce. They can apply to the State Administration of foreign exchange and the people's Bank of China respectively, and implement the relevant management policies in accordance with the payment institutions.

At the same time, we will further improve the cross-border electronic payment, clearing and settlement service system, and effectively strengthen the supervision of cross-border payment business of banking institutions and Payment institutions.

< /p >

< p > five is the implementation of tax policies adapted to the export of e-commerce, mainly to solve the problem of export tax refund for e-commerce export enterprises.

At present, due to the fact that customs, inspection and quarantine, payment and remittance procedures are not normally handled, e-commerce exporters are naturally unable to handle export tax rebates, which is not conducive to reducing operating costs and enhancing international competitiveness.

After the promulgation of the "opinions", the value-added tax and consumption tax exemption or tax refund policies for the export commodities eligible for e-commerce are implemented.

In principle, tax refund policies for general taxpayers who can provide VAT invoices and tax exemption policies for small-scale taxpayers who can not provide VAT invoices should be implemented. The specific measures will be formulated and promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Taxation in the near future.

< /p >

< p > six is the establishment of e-commerce export credit system, mainly to solve the problem of credit system and < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > market < /a > order needs to be improved.

Some enterprises do not attach importance to business integrity in the export of e-commerce. Problems such as infringing intellectual property rights and selling fake and shoddy products occur frequently, or even fraudulent and other illegal acts, which damage our reputation and also have a negative impact on the international image of our products.

At the same time, the relevant laws and regulations, standards and credit system are not well constructed. There are not many ways for law enforcement departments to respond to the above actions. Effective credit supervision system and regulatory system need to be established.

After the promulgation of the "opinions", we will seriously investigate and deal with commercial fraud, crack down on infringement of intellectual property rights and the sale of fake and shoddy products and so on, so as to continuously strengthen the construction of e-commerce export credit system.
