Will The Cross-Border Electricity Supplier Leave The Industry Now?

About 21 hours after two hours.

On the eve of the implementation of the new tax policy, the 11 departments jointly published the list of retail import commodities for cross-border e-commerce.

To be sure, from today onwards, the cross-border e-commerce platform and "

"Farewell to the era of tax exemption.

The 11 sector announced cross-border e-commerce retail overnight

The list of commodities, such as sweeping robots and Google glasses, is relatively small and needs less high-tech consumer goods.

"Our engineers are strained to debug the system to cope with the change of customs system starting at 5 tomorrow morning (April 8th)."

Yesterday (April 7th) 19, a cross border electricity supplier responsible person pessimistic said, "I think this industry may die."

About two hours later, around 21 o'clock, on the eve of the implementation of the new tax law on cross-border electricity suppliers, the 11 departments jointly announced the "list of retail imports of cross-border e-commerce" (hereinafter referred to as the "list").

In the past two months, this list has been like "Damour's sword". It has been hanging over the top of the B2C cross-border import business. Once the goods are not written into the list, it will be a disaster for enterprises.

2 hours later, the person in charge changed again.

After comparing the list with the existing commodity, we found that the 1142 tax numbers on the list relate to the main import commodities.

When our reporter asked whether he was "relieving himself or taking a breath," he said "yes".

However, after second rounds of comparison, they found that the offshore formula that consumers were concerned about might go down.

"It depends on the operation of the new customs system tomorrow (April 8th)."

The person in charge said that although the formula milk appeared on the list, the subsequent remarks were "except for the registered infant formula, which should be registered in accordance with the food safety law".

However, it is certain that from today (April 8th), the cross-border e-commerce platform and the "Hai Tao nationality" will be together to say goodbye to the tax exemption era.

Reporters found that the list released last night included 1142 8 tariff products, mainly domestic consumer goods, which can meet the regulatory requirements of relevant departments, and can objectively enter consumer goods such as fast food and mail, including some food and beverage, clothing shoes and hats, household appliances, and some cosmetics, diapers, children's toys, thermos cups and so on.

"The technical staff stay up late is the next step. The most intense thing is that they start to compare the list with the existing commodity code, and see what are the products that can not be imported from platform by tomorrow (April 8th)."

The person in charge said.

After the first round of comparison, they found that the cosmetics and other commodities were compared with the previous version of the list, adding remarks, such as "do not belong to ordinary foods according to law or special foods that need to be registered and managed according to law".

"There are many ambiguities in understanding, according to what law and what is ordinary food," he told our reporter.

However, more noteworthy is that after second rounds of comparison, they found that the most concerned formula of domestic consumers formula milk powder may be off shelves.

Although formula milk appeared on the list, the subsequent remarks were "except for the registered infant formula, which should be registered in accordance with the food safety law".

"Formula milk should conform to Chinese standards, basically means that overseas milk powder can not be sold now.

Because most of the (platform sales) milk powder has not been filed.

The official said, of course, it depends on the operation of the new customs system today.

At the same time, Zhao Ping, a researcher at the China Council for the promotion of trade promotion, has completed the comparison of all tax numbers.

She told our reporter that three categories of commodities were excluded from the positive list.

The first category is large household appliances, furniture, etc., which can not be delivered by parcel post and express delivery, but can only be pported by means of logistics.

The second category is consumer goods, such as commodities and raw materials, which are obviously not self occupied.

The third category is sophisticated, relatively small electronic products.

"I understand that the first two categories are a balance between meeting the needs of consumers and the current regulatory capacity, because the existing conveyor belts can only be used for small parcels, and they can not pass through central air-conditioning or large furniture."

Zhao Ping said.

What interests Zhao Ping most is that the relatively small and less demanding high-tech consumer goods like sweeping robots and Google glasses have not appeared in the positive list.

"I think this is probably for the protection of related industries in China. On the other hand, products that have not been seen before have exceeded customs supervision."

She said.

Zhao Ping also said that in the current policy, whether the category outside the list can be put on the shelves again by resubmitting the license or additional examination and approval is not specific, but it needs to be clear.

The above cross-border electricity suppliers also took note of the last sentence of the Ministry of Finance on the interpretation of the New Deal: "the list will be adjusted according to the factors such as cross-border e-commerce development and consumer demand changes."

"We sincerely hope that ministries and commissions can update them weekly according to the needs of consumers."

He said.

Earlier than the "Hai Tao" new regulations promulgated in the list, from April 8th onwards, the 50 yuan tax exemption quota under the former import and export tax system was abolished, instead of paying customs duties (provisional 0%), value-added tax and consumption tax (70% payable according to the statutory tax payable), and the single paction limit of individual cross-border imports was set at 2000 yuan, and the personal paction limit of 20 thousand yuan per year. If exceeded, it will be taxed according to the general trade.

On the whole, the tax policy for cross-border electricity providers is closer to higher tariffs and more complex general trade import taxes.

For this reason, some netizens calculated an amount of diapers with one of the most common consumables of mother and infant products.

Take the king of flowers as an example. Before the tax reform, the price of a package is about 120 yuan. The price that consumers buy 4 bags is 480 yuan. The original tax policy does not need to pay taxes at the beginning of the 50 tax policy. However, after the tax reform, whether the total value of the urine is up to 500 yuan is required to pay 11.9% tax. 4 bags of diapers need to pay a tax of 120 * 4 * 11.9%=57.12 yuan, and this part of the money will be pferred to the consumer.

In this regard, Chen Ji, a part-time mother and infant product purchasing agent in the United States, told our reporter that the former pfer company would help her to split the order into a tax-free amount to China. When the new deal came to the ground, the "free lunch" ended, and the tax revenue of such commodities would increase. She was hesitant to raise the price.

"Anyway, it's a part-time job. I really can't do it, but I don't do it. Fortunately, I do it by buying acquaintances, and you know that what I buy is genuine goods, and I should be able to accept this tax cost."

She is optimistic.

"I am still in the same way now. The express company says how much tax I have to pay."

Yu Congcong, who is a full-time purchasing agent in Losangeles, said in an interview with our reporter.

Compared with Chen Xiao, who is a part-time purchasing agent, her business is bigger. There are both maternal and child health care products that increase taxes because of this tax reform, as well as light extravagant products such as bags and clothing.

In fact, compared to cosmetics (skin care, toiletries, excluding make-up), such products with relatively high unit price and 50% postal tax, the new deal should be reduced to tax.

Wu Shengxing, a clothing oriented company, also told our reporter that after the implementation of the new policy, the tax rate would rise and fall, textile products would decline and ordinary commodities would rise.

"The past 50 yuan less than the postal tax exemption, is these years low price commodity cross-border electricity supplier's first big weapon.

In fact, after the implementation of the new tax system, commodity prices have gone up and down.

For the part of the promotion, it is mainly concentrated in food, health care, mother and baby, and daily use products, and has been basically exempt from the past to cross border tax which now has a total price of 11.9%.

Li Rixue, founder and CEO of temple library, said that after the new tax system was formally promulgated, the temple library did a combing, and found that about 90% of the company's products would not be affected too much, which would be a push for the company to focus more on high-end and high quality.

Compared with the wait-and-see attitude of purchasing and pit companies, cross-border import "regular army" appears more positive.

According to our reporter's on-the-spot interviews with a number of cross-border electricity providers, such as increasing the price of goods in the bonded area, finding out the acceptability of consumers' price increases, communicating with policy makers, upgrading the logistics system, implementing routing allocation to reduce logistics costs, etc., whether in self run or platform mode, the bonded import is also a direct mail mode, all of which are thinking about the part of the cost of tax revenue after various tax digestion.

Tmall International said that in order to ensure a better pition of import consumption experience, Tmall international overseas businessmen, especially overseas brands, had no price adjustment plan.

About 10% of the tax rate rises for Tmall international brand premium overseas brands, this part of the cost can be digested for the time being, "after this adjustment, the cross-border e-commerce platform to operate commodity category richness is good."

In fact, compared with the clamour of tax rises on the surface, the tax reform involves a more open policy of import customs clearance.

C2C (personal to individual) cross border electricity supplier foreign terminal CEO Zeng Bi Bo told our correspondent that before the new deal, international express could only go through several postal ports in Beijing and Shanghai. Now, the liberalization of policy allows cross-border electricity suppliers to do overseas routing allocation, such as Southern China's goods to Guangzhou port, North China's goods to Beijing port, and the logistics cost in the near future.

To this end, the foreign port's bainhai logistics completed the corresponding system upgrade within two weeks.

"After the implementation of the new deal, the logistics cost is expected to drop by 30%."

Zeng Bi Po has counted the accounts for our reporter. Before going to the post office, he must use EMS to distribute the express mail. The first cost is 20 yuan. Now he can choose to go to the airport port and the bonded area port, use the courier company to distribute the price, and pay 8 yuan first. In addition, the measures such as pre tax payment by the seller have improved the efficiency of customs clearance, and it is expected to reduce the unit clearance fee from 10 yuan to 5 yuan. The two together add up to 17 yuan, plus the cost saved by routing allocation and combined order delivery, the overall cross border logistics cost will be significantly reduced.

The ocean terminal will return the savings to overseas buyers on the supply platform.

Compared to the C2C terminals such as NetEase koala, which operate on the logistics industry, one of the ways to digest the tax reform cost of cross-border electricity providers such as NetEase koala will be the scale of deep tillage, upgrading the upstream premium capability and the integration capability of the industry chain.

According to statistics from Ministry of Commerce, there are more than 5000 cross border platform enterprises in China.

Some experts predict that the import and export volume of cross-border electric business will reach 6 trillion and 500 billion yuan in 2016. In the next few years, the proportion of cross-border electricity providers will increase to 20%, and the annual growth rate will exceed 30%.

The reform marks the end of the low threshold cross-border electricity policy dividend era, and entered the era of reshuffle.
