Why Set Up A Pitional Period? Where Is The New Card Of Cross-Border Electricity Supplier?

With the approval of the State Council, the relevant regulatory requirements in the list of cross-border e-commerce retail import commodities shall be set up for one year.

The AQSIQ has been informed of the implementation.

The new cross-border electricity supplier policy has been implemented since April 8th. Over a period of more than a month, why do we need to set up a pitional period for the relevant supervision? Where is the "new card" of the cross-border electricity supplier? The reporter interviewed the relevant departments and experts.

A single pass can't get rid of cross-border electricity providers. Overseas goods can not get the certificate of origin and contract.

"After all, cross border electricity providers have trade attributes, and we can understand the new policy's adjustment to tax revenue, but now cross-border electricity suppliers have become a big problem from abroad, which directly affects the development of the industry."

One family

The trade official said that after the implementation of the new deal in April 8th, the import commodities of cross-border electricity suppliers must provide customs clearance according to general trade requirements.

It is this "customs clearance" that baffles them.

The so-called "customs clearance list" refers to the entry cargo customs declaration issued by the inspection and quarantine organ. The purchasers should provide materials including certificates of origin, inspection and quarantine certificates and so on, and cosmetics, health care products and other commodities must be registered with the General Administration of food and drug for registration.

The customs declaration can only be made to the Customs after the inspection and quarantine department has issued the customs declaration.

For a long time, the general trade import goods have gone through this process, and there have not been any problems.

But why do we fail to cross the electricity supplier here?

In fact, the import channels of cross-border electricity suppliers are quite different from general trade.

General trade is usually purchased directly from the manufacturer, so it is possible to provide certificate of origin, contract, invoice, packing list, and related approval.

However, the supply chain organization mode of cross-border electricity suppliers is mostly overseas "sweeping goods", that is, procurement teams or buyers buy goods in overseas supermarkets and stores. Under this mode, cross border electricity providers can only get the sales invoices of commodities, and obviously can not obtain certificates of origin and contracts.

At present, most of the cross-border electricity supplier enterprises are unable to meet the direct cooperation with overseas suppliers due to the restriction of procurement scale and channel.

At the same time,

"Stipulates that when the online shopping bonded goods enter the District, they need to check the customs declaration according to the goods, and put forward the first import license, registration or filing requirements for cosmetics, infant formula milk powder, health food and other commodities.

Many cross border electricity providers reflect that customs clearance is very fast for imports, mainly because the previous formalities can not be completed, leading to the "card" of imported commodities.

Some registration and filing procedures take months to complete, and some even take more than a year.

During the pition period, the online shopping bonded goods in the pilot cities will not check the customs clearance list.

Since 2012, Tianjin, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Pingtan and other 10 pilot cities have launched online shopping bonded import and direct purchase import business, and some other cities have also launched direct purchase import business.

"In order to enable cross-border e-commerce enterprises to gradually adapt to regulatory requirements, the relevant regulatory measures for cross-border e-commerce retail import have been set up for one year."

The head of the Ministry of Finance said that during the pition period, that is, before May 11, 2017, the "first line" of the online shopping bonded products operated by the 10 pilot cities had not been checked for customs clearance until the time when they first entered the area. They did not implement the first import approval, registration or filing requirements of cosmetics, infant formula milk powder, medical devices, special foods (including health food, special medical use formula foods, etc.).

At the same time, the cross-border e-commerce retail import commodities within the list of cross-border e-commerce retail import commodities will continue to be taxed according to the new cross-border electricity supplier tax policy.

"Setting up a one year pition period for regulatory measures for cross-border electricity providers will help to support the smooth pition of tax policies for cross-border electricity retail import, and promote the healthy development of cross border e-commerce in China."

Zhang Bin, director of the Tax Research Office of the Financial Strategy Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that, from the international point of view, a big reform or new policy generally needs to be announced ahead of time and set a certain pition period to adapt the changes of the enterprise and the market to the policy rules.

Zhang Bin thought that this time

Promulgated, although the relevant departments have made a lot of research and preparation, but the policy from publication to implementation for more than two weeks, and even before the implementation of the day to announce the list of goods, is indeed a bit hasty.

Enterprises do not have enough time to prepare adequately, so it is difficult to adapt to them.

Fortunately, this policy "patch" is still in time. The one year pition period can help cross-border electricity providers to take a breath and gradually move closer to regulatory requirements. It also allows regulators to explore and make the regulatory mode more adaptable to cross-border electricity providers.

Rationality should be considered in policy formulation, and practical operability should also be considered.

One year is only a pitional period, which means that cross-border electricity supplier regulation measures have not yet been settled.

The general public is concerned about whether the new trade mode of cross-border electricity providers will change after a year? Will the regulatory measures of the relevant departments be adjusted?

"The new policy of cross-border electricity supplier has paid attention to the rationality of the policy in the design, but the operability is obviously insufficient, which is a problem that needs special attention when the reform plan is launched in the future."

Hu Yijian, Dean of the public policy and Governance Research Institute of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said that the new policy defined the trade attributes of the retail import commodities, and adjusted the tax policy to make the new business format and the traditional format, the tax burden of foreign goods and domestic products more fair, but in the specific operation process, it appeared to be not careful and rigorous.

For example, the list of retail imports of cross-border e-commerce is included in formula milk powder, but a note is required to be registered in accordance with the food safety law.

The actual situation is, "infant formula milk powder formula registration management regulations" is still in the formulation process, has not yet been implemented.

Finally, the Ministry of finance of the Ministry of Customs responded: according to the State Food and drug administration, since January 1, 2018, infant formula milk powder sold in China, including infant formula milk powder imported through cross-border e-commerce, must be obtained in accordance with the product registration certificate.

Moreover, according to the property attributes of cross-border electricity supplier goods, inspection and quarantine shall issue a customs declaration according to law.

In the list of retail import commodities for cross border e-commerce, only 36% of the goods required for legal examination should be checked. Most of the coded products should be unaffected and smooth customs clearance.

In fact, there are not many kinds of commodities that need to be examined by law, but most of them are hot goods, and their value is above 90%.

The actual situation is obviously different from the relevant departments' initial anticipation.

Cross border electricity providers are new things, and policy formulation can not be perfect at once.

However, when the relevant departments are designing the plan, they should consider the difficulties and problems more fully, and do well in the policy landing convergence for the characteristics of cross-border electricity providers, so as to avoid affecting the development of the industry.

Hu Yijian said.
