Year-End Inventory And Punishment Of Cross-Border Electricity Supplier Life And Death

Others say that 2014 is the first year of the cross-border electricity supplier, and 2015 is the year of 2015.

The year of reshuffle.

In 2015, many enterprises were surviving at the tip of the knife. With the advent of capital cold winter, many import cross-border e-commerce enterprises either had a high-profile pformation or died in a low profile.

So for the import of cross-border electricity providers, 2015 is a year of cards and a year of shuffling.

We can sum up the import cross-border electricity supplier during the year from the pilot of the two cargo policy.

Policy: more clear, but there is still uncertainty.

Although the pilot of cross-border electricity providers started in 2012, the initial policy focused on exports, especially retail exports.

The reason why 2014 was the first year of the import of cross-border electricity suppliers was due to the promulgation and implementation of Customs document No. 56 and No. 57.

No. 56 is civilized. Customs import.

The supervision idea, that is, the three single docking, the 57 article gives the legal identity of the online shopping bonded import, that is, 1210 regulatory code.

In 2015, the General Administration of Customs promoted the practice of landing policy.

In May, the notice on adjusting matters concerning customs operation time and customs clearance deadline for cross border trade e-commerce supervision enhanced the efficiency of customs clearance of imported commodities and won wide acclaim from the industry. In September, the letter on strengthening the supervision of bonded imports of cross-border e-commerce online shopping has cracked down on the irregular practices in the online shopping bonded pilot, such as tax evasion and tax avoidance, and online shopping bonded businesses in non pilot cities.

From this it can be seen that customs efforts are doing two things: first, to strengthen Customs clearance facilitation, so that enterprises can quickly access customs at low cost, corresponding to May documents; two, increase supervision and prevent non-performing enterprises from engaging in smuggling activities by importing cross-border electric business channels, and the document should be September.

To some extent, the two are contradictory: strict regulation will lead to a reduction in the efficiency of customs clearance, and a loose customs environment will lead to regulatory loopholes.

Balancing the two is the biggest challenge for customs supervision.

It is the AQSIQ that faces the same challenge with customs.

In May 2015, AQSIQ finally issued a policy document on the import of cross-border electricity providers, "opinions on further promoting the role of inspection and quarantine functions in promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce."

The "cross border e-commerce inventory management system" proposed by the document (except for the following prohibition of cross-border e-commerce), is a typical negative list, which should be regarded as a heavy profit in the industry.

However, in October, "online shopping bonded mode of cross-border e-commerce supervision and management of imported food safety regulations (Draft)" will soon be engaged in food and cosmetics online shopping bonded cross-border electricity supplier ice-cream, especially infant formula milk powder, its regulatory mode is almost the same as the general trade entry.

The document has not been formally promulgated and implemented, so there is some uncertainty.

If the draft is released according to the opinions, the food and cosmetics under the bonded import mode will be greatly affected, and the direct mail import will have greater development.

In terms of foreign exchange, in January 2015, the safe issued the guiding opinions on the cross border foreign exchange payment business in No. 7, replacing the previous 5, covering the whole country with the pilot area of foreign exchange payment, and opening the pilot application of the third party payment institution.

At present, more than 30 third party payment agencies obtain cross-border payment licences.

For imported cross-border electricity providers, the use of domestic bank cards or Alipay and other acquirers, and then through cross-border payment of third party payment agencies to buy foreign exchange, and even directly through the opening of cross-border electricity supplier payment business bank purchase, can successfully complete foreign exchange payment to foreign partners.

Financial and tax aspects,

It's still blank.

It is certain that in 2016, tax policies for import cross-border electricity suppliers will be introduced, and the policy formulation is based on the fairness with general trade. It is not clear what the final concrete policies will look like. The industry generally agrees that the direct purchase mode should continue to execute the postal tax method, but cancel the 50 yuan exemption amount; the online shopping bonded mode will carry out the comprehensive tax, and the specific tax rate is thirty percent off of the tariff plus value-added tax (otherwise the unification is 11.9%), and the tax exemption will be abolished.

Once the policy is implemented, the cost of cross-border electricity suppliers will increase.

Theoretically speaking, it will exacerbate the gray customs clearance such as water passenger carrying and mail express entry.

However, as long as the customs increases the intensity of verification at the entry point, the grey customs will be difficult to grow, and the import of sunshine cross-border electricity providers is still the best choice for scale enterprises.

In June 2015, the State Council promulgated the guiding opinions on promoting the healthy and rapid development of cross-border e-commerce.

The document clearly points out that it is necessary to reasonably increase imports of consumer goods through cross-border e-commerce.

During his inspection in Zhengzhou, Premier Li Keqiang encouraged the import of cross-border electric business enterprises to grow in doubt.

It seems that although the import cross-border electricity policy still has some uncertainty, its gradual and clear regulation will make the industry fairer and healthier.

Pilot: nine provinces and cities to enter, development progress difference.

The pilot of export cross-border electricity supplier has already been liberalized. Many cities are trying to import direct purchase mode. Only imported bonded mode cards are very strict. At present, only nine provinces and cities such as Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Fujian (Fuzhou and Fuzhou) have qualifications.

So what did these pilot cities do in 2015?

Hangzhou took the lead in upgrading to China's cross border electricity supplier comprehensive pilot area in March 2015 and assumed a pilot system in terms of regulatory system.

Therefore, although Hangzhou has less customs clearance than Guangzhou, Ningbo and Zhengzhou, Hangzhou's institutional exploration is ahead of all cities.

On the customs side, in October, the customs supervision scheme of China (Hangzhou) cross border e-commerce comprehensive pilot area was introduced.

The document was published only after the approval of the General Administration of customs. It can be said that the 56 document of the Customs General Administration last year has not only made a distinction between imports and exports, B2B and B2C, but also upgraded the regulatory mode from the "list of nuclear releases and summary declarations" to "listing, placing, paying taxes and withholding."

In terms of commodity inspection, the AQSIQ made a special proposal in July 2015 for Hangzhou to support the development of China (Hangzhou) cross border e-commerce comprehensive pilot area.

With the support of this document, Hangzhou has simplified the hygiene registration procedures for overseas food enterprises and the process of compulsory product certification, and has implemented the inventory management system for import and export products, and has set up a National Center for cross border e-commerce quality and safety risk monitoring.

In addition, Hangzhou launched a single window platform for cross-border electricity providers in June. The platform can be regarded as an upgraded version of the original customs clearance platform (Hangzhou as a "cross-border one step"). It not only provides online paperless government services, but also provides financial, logistics and other business services.

Online, the park in Hangzhou will bloom more this year. As of December, a total of 8 parks have been opened.

Although the pilot of Hangzhou is mainly export oriented (especially B2B), the exploration of its system will also help to promote the overall development of import cross-border electricity providers.

Zhengzhou is the only pilot city for cross-border electricity in the central region.

From the point of view of customs clearance, the pilot project in Zhengzhou is far ahead: as of September 2015, the total volume of imports of E trade in Zhengzhou exceeded 30 million, exceeding the sum of other pilot cities.

Although the pilot volume is still dominated by the E trade of Henan bonded logistics center, Zhengzhou airport and Xinzheng comprehensive bonded zone have respectively passed overseas direct mail and online shopping bonded real estate tests this year.

This also means that in addition to E trade, Zhengzhou unified version of cross-border e-commerce information platform has also been on-line operation.

In September 2015, Li Keqiang inspected the bonded logistics center of Henan, and the pilot of cross border e-commerce in Zhengzhou was once again well received by the leaders of the state (the last one was inspected by general secretary in May 2014).

In addition, Zhengzhou is also actively applying for the national cross boundary electricity supplier comprehensive test area this year.

In my view, Zhengzhou's customs clearance and customs clearance process are all at the forefront of the pilot project. The only limitation is that the export pilot is not making much progress.

If Zhengzhou is to export power, it is expected to become the next cross-border electricity supplier test area.

The pilot project in Ningbo also made great progress in 2015, mainly in three aspects: first, the pilot of cross-border electricity export was launched.

Although the export business has long been listed in the pilot scheme of cross-border electricity supplier in Ningbo, it was not officially launched until May 2015.

Second, the mode of "direct purchase" was opened.

In August 2015, a batch of vacuum thermos cups issued from Taiwan successfully cleared customs at the Ningbo Lishe International Airport's customs control warehouse, indicating that Ningbo's direct purchase business was officially cleared.

Third, the expansion of the import cross-border electricity supplier pilot area.

In November 2015, the Meishan bonded port area started the pilot business of import cross-border electric business. It became the fourth pilot area after Ningbo bonded area, Oak International Airport and oak society bonded logistics center.

It is worth mentioning that, according to the amount of import pilot, 1-10 months in 2015, Ningbo totaled 1 billion 810 million yuan, ranking third, and last year Ningbo clearance pilot amount is ranked first.

However, NetEase Ding Lei is a Ningbo native. It has made clear this year that he will turn the strategic focus of Koala purchase to Ningbo.

If the amount of koala is supported, the amount of pilot projects in Ningbo will increase very quickly.

Although the pilot project in Shanghai started very early, it did not progress much in 2015.

According to estimates, the annual import cross-border electricity supplier pilot amount of about 400 million yuan, ranking the bottom of all pilot cities (not considering Tianjin and Fujian).

This also proves that the mode of Orient payment and cross border leading is impracticable.

However, we still see Shanghai's progress in 2015.

First of all, Shanghai began to attach more importance to cross-border electricity supplier pilot. In June, a high standard cross-border electricity supplier working group was set up in June. Secondly, the pilot area of cross-border e-commerce in Shanghai extended from FTA to Songjiang, Jiading, Putuo and other regions. Finally, Shanghai has embarked on building a unified, fully third party cross border electricity supplier regulatory platform, changing the original cross border leading mode.

I emphasized in the book "secret cross-border electricity providers" and many articles that Shanghai has the best location advantages and business environment for cross-border electricity imports.

Therefore, although Shanghai has taken some detours in the past few years, once it is on the right track, the prospects for development will be immense.

Chongqing's cross-border electricity supplier pilot is restricted by international location conditions, and development is not conspicuous. At present, the well-known cross-border electric business enterprises only have one honey buds (NetEase koala is settled in, but it has not yet worked alone).

The reason why honey bud is settled in the Chongqing West Wing comprehensive bonded area is mainly to see the new railway pportation channel in Chongqing.

In June this year, Yu Xin Europe first returned the p border electricity supplier of honey bud to China.

In fact, this is the first time in the history of cross-border electricity supplier to import goods through railways.

The cost of railway pportation in Chongqing New Europe is lower than that of air freight, which is faster than shipping. It is a good supplement to import cross-border logistics.

If Chongqing New Europe goes smoothly, there may be more well-known cross-border electric business enterprises in Chongqing in the future.

Guangzhou's cross-border electricity supplier pilot developed rapidly in 2015, with the value of customs clearance ranking first among the pilot cities.

Because of the advantages of Guangzhou in the air pportation (Baiyun Airport is one of the three major international hub airports in the country), shipping (Southern China area throughput first) and land pportation (adjacent to Hongkong, the daily land and port cars shuttle back and forth), many well-known cross-border e-commerce enterprises have chosen to layout in Guangzhou, including Jingdong, 1 stores, Amazon, vip.com, jumei.com, Suning and Tmall international businesses.

In addition, the outbreak of Guangzhou's pilot volume in 2015 also benefited from Guangzhou's model: led by major logistics enterprises, and the government did not build a unified customs service platform.

In this mode, the logistics enterprises have built up their own customs clearance platforms, and have been working hard to attract cross-border e-commerce enterprises across the country. This is obviously much more efficient than the government.

In addition, this year's Guangzhou import cross-border O2O experience shop is everywhere.

It can be said that this year's cross-border electricity supplier O2O boom was detonated by Guangzhou, and then extended to other parts of the country.

The pilot of Shenzhen's cross-border electricity supplier was approved in July last year, which is later than the six cities.

Nevertheless, in 2015 1-10, the value of Shenzhen's pilot imports was 631 million yuan, and attracted the famous cross-border electric business enterprises such as jumei.com and Xiaohong.

Almost all the pilot projects of cross-border electricity in Shenzhen are concentrated in the former Gulf bonded port area, with the supporting infrastructure including Shenzhen airport, Hongkong airport and port.

We know that Qianhai, Shenzhen, is the "special zone in the special economic zone", not only the Shenzhen Hong Kong modern service industry cooperation zone, but also listed as one of the three major areas of Guangdong free trade pilot area this year.

From this we can see that Qianhai's policy advantages are obvious.

The above seven cities are the 5+2 pilots we used to say before.

In 2015, Tianjin and Fujian's Fuzhou and Quanzhou also joined the cross-border import and export pilot.

Among them, Fuzhou and Quanzhou did not get the official approval from the State Council, but the bonded import operation has already started. Tianjin was approved by the State Council in October and is currently building relevant customs service platform.

It can be seen that there is a big gap between the ten cities.

However, at present, the pilot of bonded imports has shown the pattern of East, West, north, South and central nine provinces and cities.
