A small amount of entrainment at the time of entry depends on personal integrity
From January 1 this year, the tax rate for cosmetics carried or mailed by passengers will be adjusted from 20% to 50%. Will the implementation of this regulation increase the cost of the business of the now-purchasing “purchasing†family? How long will the “purchasing†phenomenon last?
It’s easy to make a profit and buy a house for a few years.
Now, buying foreign products through “purchasing†has become a fashionable way of consumption. The so-called "purchasing" means that some people use various conveniences to buy cheap brand-name goods, and then sell the goods by mail or other means to earn the difference. Purchasing people often purchase various brand-name goods from abroad through various channels and sell them to domestic consumers.
Pony's brother often travels between China and the United States for work reasons. He is often entrusted with bringing cosmetics to his friends from the United States. Over time, the brothers and sisters simply registered their stores online, and now the store has been open for more than two years.
Pony's shop mainly deals with American cosmetics. The domestic eye cream of 500 yuan is only 300 yuan in the US market. Once, a customer asked them to buy a bottle of softening cream and a bottle of eye cream in the United States. Pony's brother in the American mall just caught up with the business to promote, in addition to two genuine, the mall also presented a lipstick of the same brand, a box of eye shadow and a tube of facial cleanser. In general, purchasing does not give gifts to buyers. The pony sold additional gifts such as lipstick to other people online.
Pony told reporters that the price of cosmetics in the United States is about 1/3 cheaper than domestic ones. If you catch up with gifts, it is not difficult to earn 100% of profits.
The reporter learned that white-collar workers, flight attendants and international students have become the new force in the purchasing industry. Mr. Li, who is doing business in Dubai, told reporters that many flight attendants on international routes almost all make purchases. Among them, there is a flight attendant who mainly purchases gold Jewelry and brand-name watches. After several years, he has earned enough money to buy a commercial house in Beijing.
Although the tariff has not been affected by the increase in business
At present, the import cosmetics tax rate is raised to 50%. Originally thought that the change of tariffs will affect the purchasing business, but the several purchases that the reporter contacted have said that their business is better.
A staff member at the airport told reporters that even before the new tax rate was stipulated, there was a requirement to "report to customs when carrying items over 5,000 yuan at the time of entry." For small quantities of daily-use goods that are brought in by passengers from abroad, tariffs are generally not required. It is up to the airport staff to judge whether it is a self-use category and whether it is necessary to pay taxes.
"However, in large ports such as Beijing and Shanghai, the number of passengers entering and leaving the country is very large. It is impossible to carefully check the baggage of each inbound passenger, and it is difficult to define whether it is a self-use category. Therefore, unless it is a huge number. Goods are brought into the country, otherwise we will not ask passengers to file tax returns," the staff said.
Pony said: "The experienced purchasing will control the number of inbound items. Most of them can go abroad frequently, plus there is no store entity, and they will not bring a lot at once."
Easy to dispute, may buy fakes
Miss Song has been buying the favorite items from purchasing for several years. She is used to this kind of shopping: "This method saves money and saves time. It’s too late to go shopping in the mall. I haven’t been there for a long time. The mall is out."
However, purchasing also has certain risks in terms of reputation. Miss Song told reporters that it has been unclear how many fakes she has bought. She said: "As long as I don't have much loss, I don't bother to go to theory. I won't find that purchase anymore. Online shopping is inherently risky."
The reporter learned that some international purchases are the first to pay and then wait for the goods; some goods because of the need to take international transportation, the time may be longer, and ultimately whether you can receive the goods, but also depends on the integrity of the purchaser. And through the network to find a purchase, most of the goods bought do not have shopping vouchers, return, exchange protection is almost impossible. Some international purchasing sellers even declare in advance that if the mail is damaged, the seller is not responsible.
The staff of Industry and Commerce 315 told reporters that the website providing purchasing only provides a trading platform and does not bear some related responsibilities such as product quality, so it is easy to cause disputes, and consumers should be cautious.
Foreign professional purchasing, honest tax payment
Mr. Li has just returned from the United States. He told reporters that in foreign countries, the online shopping industry is very developed, and many of them are professional international purchasing websites. Many of these professional purchasing websites are direct sales agents of well-known brands.
Online goods range from cosmetics and clothing to furniture and medical equipment. This kind of network agent has gradually become a specialized communication intermediary, and freight and mailing are completed by the supplier. After the buyer pays, the supplier will directly deliver the goods, and the purchasing website will charge a certain service fee. If the goods are from other countries, the tariffs and customs clearance fees for the country in which the buyer is located will be included in the payment.
A lawyer told reporters that international purchasing goods should be subject to customs duties or even VAT and consumption tax. The goods of the international professional purchasing website are entered through international logistics, and the website will handle all tax payment procedures.
At present, China's purchasing is still limited to a personal scope. The purchaser first brings the goods back to China in the form of baggage, and then mails them to the buyer, avoiding the entry tariff. "If strict rectification is carried out at this stage, the cost of law enforcement is relatively large." The lawyer finally said.
