Customs Tariff Changes Companies Unprepared

The change of customs tariff has made many Quanzhou shoe enterprises unprepared.

In January 7th, the reporter learned from the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and quarantine bureau that more than 900 batches of Quanzhou goods failed to meet the requirements of the new tax regulations on the same day, and they failed to make timely clearance, with a total value exceeding US $30 million.

After the incident happened, the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau urgently dispatched personnel to make changes in the inspection information. By January 12th, all the inspection data of the blocked goods had been basically completed.

The four day of a salesman. At noon on January 2nd, a hurried phone call completely disrupted Zheng Yuemin's vacation.

Zheng Yuemin is a salesperson of a well-known shoe manufacturer in Quanzhou, specializing in the procedures of commodity inspection.

"Zheng Jie, we have made mistakes in the inspection data, all of which have been returned by the customs. You should go to the commodity inspection to change the inspection information, otherwise you will miss the shipping date."

At the end of the phone came the voice of Xiao Zhang, the customs declarant of the company.

Zheng Yuemin, who has been working with commodity inspection for many years, has not returned to his senses for a while. "I have been in charge of commodity inspection procedures for nearly 10 years. This is also handled according to the usual practice. How can it be wrong?"

Zheng Yuemin whispered, "don't worry, what's going on?"

"On the customs tariff, the measuring unit of our shoes has changed since this month. It has changed from double metering to kilogram measurement. You should go over there and change it, otherwise you can't report it."

Xiao Zhang said.

Zheng Yuemin put down the phone, and when he got the information from the company, he immediately rushed to the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau. As soon as he came to the door, he heard the noise in the hall. As a result, there were already several long lines in the hall.

And on the other side of the glass, the staff of the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau's inspection department responsible for the alteration of the commodity inspection information has been very busy.

It seems useless for Zheng Yuemin to be conscious of herself at the very back of the line. She counted it carefully, and there were 26 people waiting in front of her.

Complaints came from time to time, "why did the tax regulations change? Why didn't we notice earlier that we were half dead?"

More than an hour later, the number of people in front of Zheng Yuemin less and less, and the number of people behind them is increasing. Zheng Yuemin is lucky to celebrate his arrival. "I am afraid there are forty or fifty people behind me, afraid that they will not be able to wait until they are off duty."

Later, facts proved that Zhengo Miyuki celebrated a little too early.

Because their company has more than 30 batch of goods to change the commodity inspection information, in the next 4 days, Zheng Yue min ran to the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau every day. The most unlucky time was that Zheng Yuemin had been busy from 3 p.m. to 7 pm in the evening.

According to the statistics of Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau received more than 900 applications for changes in enterprise inspection information from January 2nd to January 7th in just 5 days, and received 420 copies at the most of the day, with a total value of over 30 million US dollars.

The delivery date is delayed. According to Li Shaoyang, director of the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the goods are mainly sports shoes. According to the normal procedures, the goods need to be inspected by the commodity inspection authorities within 7 days before shipment, and they can be declared for export only after the inspection certificate has been verified by the commodity inspection department.

And if it is not because of the blocking phenomenon, the enterprises will not delay the delivery time from the discovery of commodity inspection information to the completion of the change, but the more than 900 batch of goods will be blocked together. Although the Quanzhou entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau quickly organized the work of the personnel support and inspection division, but because of the large quantity of data needed to be changed, the shipping date of the export goods was delayed.

This means that enterprises may suffer the loss of cargo delay.

According to Zheng Yuemin, most of the more than 30 batch of re declarations of their company have missed the shipping date, and they can only wait for the next ship to deliver the goods. "Now the company is consulting with the purchasers, they are all old customers. If they encounter such a thing, the buyers should be understandable."

However, Mr. Ding, head of a sports shoe business in Quanzhou, is not so lucky.

This time, four of his businesses were returned from customs declarations, and they missed the delivery date. Some of them were intended to issue a new client to the United States.

"Americans are not good at communicating, and this time they are meeting new buyers. The buyer is relatively large, and it is hard to win over them. But there is no way to guarantee delivery during the first business. I am afraid the buyer is not able to keep it."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ding is a little melancholy. "Should I have enough time to prepare for the implementation of the new deal in the future?"

For the change of the tax regulations, a responsible person in Quanzhou customs is also quite surprised. "Shoes have been measured with" double "for many years and suddenly changed to" kilogram ", which should be the reason why there is no need for it.
