Why Is Raw Material Smuggling Banned Repeatedly?

　 　 Raw material skin Why repeated prohibition?

In recent years, with the rapid development of leather industry in China, the demand of leather enterprises for raw materials is also increasing. At present, China has become the largest selling market for raw material skin in the United States, and the purchase volume accounts for more than half of the total export volume of American cowhide. It is precisely because of the active participation of Chinese enterprises that the price of American cowhide and even global leather has gone up sharply. Leather making enterprises have become the main drivers of the rising price of leather. On the other hand, China's fur industry has also seen leaps and bounds in the past few years. Chinese enterprises have also become the main buyers of international fur auction. With the huge market demand, the rising price of raw materials and the higher tariffs imposed on China's raw materials, under the combined effect of these factors, some enterprises choose to import raw materials by illegal means in order to reduce production costs.

A leather entrepreneur gave reporters such an account. If an enterprise imports raw materials worth 100 US dollars, the minimum tax payable is: (100 * 1.07) * 1.13-100=20.91 US dollars, and so on. If the enterprise imports 100 miners of water mink and raw fox fur, the taxes and fees that need to be paid are 28.7 and 34.55 US dollars respectively. Such high taxes and fees do cause a heavy burden to the enterprises. Huang Yanjie, director of China Fur Association fur (fur) Specialized Committee, told reporters that China's raw fur is not well sourced and its quality is relatively low. It needs to import a large number of raw materials from the top of the world every year. China is also one of the countries with higher tariffs on fur products in the world. Many enterprises are too high and overburdened with the Leather Association's reaction tariffs. Why do they want to keep the raw materials smuggled? Why can they be banned repeatedly? They will be able to negotiate with the relevant agencies as a trade representative to reduce the import duty of raw fur. Therefore, in 2013, after the efforts of the association, the tariffs on mink skin and raw fox fur were reduced to 10% and 15% respectively.

As far as I know, the raw materials for smuggling into China are mainly imported through Hongkong grey customs clearance, and then smuggled in according to the price of a cabinet through Guangdong port. In the smuggled products, raw materials and leather billets are available. Not only traders, but also for tax evasion, some illegal leather production enterprises in Guangdong and Fujian are also involved in smuggling of raw materials. Leather smuggling has seriously affected the market order and created an unfair competition environment, which has seriously damaged the economic interests of legitimate production enterprises.
