Investigation Of Overseas Purchasing Chaos: Going Abroad To Go Around A Shanzhai To Become A Big Card!

The General Administration of Customs issued the "notice on the supervision of import and export of goods and articles in cross-border e-commerce", which is the first law of our country for enterprises and individuals engaged in cross-border electricity business and behavior. It indicates that relevant departments have begun to attach importance to and regulate the overseas purchasing industry that has been criticized.

What are the problems in the industry? Why are regulatory bottlenecks encountered? Can the new regulation become the "terminator" of the overseas purchasing barbaric period? For this, the reporter launched an investigation.

Hidden big cat greasy, chaos gradually enchanting eye.

As long as 33% off of the domestic brand stores can buy the same products, this temptation is hard for many people to resist.

For a time, overseas purchasing became a new favorite of consumption.

However, the consequent market chaos quickly pushed the industry into the wilderness of development.

"Take pictures of duty-free shops, keep small invoice, gift bags, dust-proof bags, instructions..."

Li Lin, who studied in England, always had a busy time before the holidays.

QQ, WeChat send information on behalf of the purchase, earn the difference to buy home ticket.

There are many people who participate in purchasing, but there are different ways.

Some people are even responsible for receiving parcels from the country, changing their packages, and sending them back.

"Go abroad to circle," Shanzhai "become a big card."

Be engaged in

For 4 years, Xu Xiao sniffed at this kind of behavior, but there was no alternative.

Xiao Lin, who studies in Canada, runs an online shop. He promotes various kinds of international brand bags on WeChat every day, and releases photos of himself taking goods abroad, which is called "special counter purchase" and "special store taking goods".

Grey area, difficult to standardize management

The head of the Customs General Administration said that for a long time, overseas purchasing behavior was handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of personal and postal articles of entry and exit, and there were no specific laws and regulations to define and constrain it.

Some people have split their imported taxable goods into multiple tickets and false reports as personal "goods", which have been beyond the scope of "reasonable and self occupied" through postal delivery and express mail channels. In essence, they are using personal goods tax-free concessions, evading tariffs and profiteering.

The actual regulatory difficulties make the overseas purchasing industry a gray area, and the quality and safety problems of the goods follow.

Because of the difficulty in obtaining evidence, the rights and interests of consumers can hardly be guaranteed.

"Buyers can not tell the true or false of their products, nor can they go to the shopping mall counters to check their products.

The relationship between overseas buyers and sellers is based on integrity, which creates insurmountable obstacles for consumers to safeguard their rights.

Combination of dredging and blocking, new regulations, regulating purchasing industry

The new regulation in August 1st is believed to have enabled overseas purchasing industry to enter into a standardized operation stage with laws.

According to the new regulation, overseas purchasing is incorporated into the tax system. Individual purchasing behavior needs to be handled by "checklist and nuclear release" to handle the entry and exit formalities of electronic commerce, and order, payment, logistics and other information are submitted to the customs to facilitate monitoring, and consumer rights protection will be well documented.

Overseas purchasing behavior with incomplete procedures, suspected of smuggling and tax evasion, will be punished by customs.

The combination of new regulations and congestion allows overseas purchasing behavior to exist. However, strict supervision has led to a heavy blow to the overseas purchasing business of individual online stores.

Reminder: don't believe in any 33% off purchases online. Please go by yourself.

Purchase, so as not to be deceived!
