Electricity Supplier Global Buying And Trading Subject To Customs Policy Adjustment, Hai Tao Shock Reduced 1/3

This is a chaotic season for the "Hai Tao" industry.

Over the past month, a large number of online purchasing merchants are in great pain.

The insider said that the volume of "global purchase" on the relevant e-commerce platform has dropped by 1/3, and more small platforms have stopped serving.

Cross border logistics prices surged and customs clearance slowed down, resulting in a large backlog of packages.

A related industry said that the cost is enough "uncomfortable", and now logistics is paralyzed, "really can not live."

Cross border shopping logistics pfer companies are also suffering. Their single volume has dropped by 1/3, and some have laid off 2/3.

This is related to a new policy of the national customs administration at the end of March.

The new deal stipulates that all overseas express enterprises should not use EMS entry to send customs packages to customs clearance.

Customs new deal makes the original parcel pfer company have to find another access to customs clearance, and the sea industry has been affected by this shock and has affected every link of the industrial chain.

New customs policies trigger drastic changes

The so-called Hai Tao usually refers to goods purchased directly from overseas B2C websites and shipped to China.

Some foreign websites provide global distribution services, and more need to be pshipped.

Part of the pfer is provided by the domestic e-commerce providers providing purchasing services, and there are also a large number of self selected pit companies.

The sea pportation process consists of 4 links: first, consumers register on the relevant pport company website and get the information of their overseas recipients' names and mailing addresses; then, on the overseas B2C website, the above information is set as the delivery address; three, the overseas forwarding company receives the goods, confirms it by consumers, stores it, packages it and sends it to China; four, the related goods are cleared through the customs port of China, and the distribution is delivered to the real address of the country.

Most pshipment companies usually play the role of "overseas packers", and customs clearance companies cooperate with customs clearance companies when they arrive in China.

For example, the cooperation between Bai Tong and Bailey is a typical cooperation mode, the former is packaged and forwarded, and the latter provides customs clearance service.

but

There are three kinds of customs clearance methods for overseas goods: first, trade clearance.

Most of the B2B pactions are subject to customs duties, VAT and "three checks".

The two is express mail.

It contains KJ1 class files, KJ2 and KJ3 commercial samples and advertising samples and KJ4 personal belongings.

The third category is mail.

Including documents, letters and parcels.

Express mail and mail must be paid by post tax.

It includes tariffs, VAT and consumption tax of specific categories.

The difference between the above is that the express must provide a copy of the identity card of the individual buyer, and it is not allowed to change from abroad, and the mail does not require this.

International express is usually delivered to express companies such as UPS and DHL. However, it usually takes the initiative to declare customs, that is, the goods purchased by individuals will be taxed at 100%, and postal parcels are usually sampled.

Previously, the pport companies set up in the US Chinese would send parcels to the mail access used in China, which is convenient and low cost, but not in accordance with the rules.

According to the Convention of the Universal Postal Union (IPU), imported postal articles refer to the articles delivered by foreign (regional) postal enterprises by the Federation and stipulated by the Chinese postal service in China.

The forwarding company is not a postal company.

That is why the new customs policy closes this path.

All overseas express enterprises should use EMS customs clearance packages to handle customs clearance according to incoming postal materials.

Only by using the postal service of the other country's postal enterprises, can the package delivered by China post be delivered in China according to the regulations of the Universal Postal Union.

The channel of old familiar roads was closed, and many pport companies were trapped.

The original mail clearance service providers such as Bailey and others have no longer orders, and the forwarding company is rushing to find a way out.

Panic and labor pains

The whole "Hai Tao" industrial chain is suffering from labor pains.

The last batch of mail cleared the package in early April.

The insider said that this was only a batch of Tianjin port which arrived in late March.

At the end of March, Hai Tao pportation and distribution had basically been paralyzed.

Let, s E Buy, a webmaster, is a senior member of Hai Tao.

For a month, he heard complaints from the pport company every day.

Almost all pport companies have a large backlog of packages, or do not export them from abroad, or send them to China without smooth access, and some are even returned.

The most typical example is the hundred pass "Changsha incident".

More than 100 batches of goods have been detained in Changsha customs for more than two months.

Bai Tong official said that it has entered the inspection stage, but the date of settlement is uncertain.

Airport Express port is also not smooth.

Rui Tian and Jiu he chose the airport express port of Chongqing, but there were many packages, customs clearance rate was slow, and the backlog was usually about 10~15 days.

The bad news is still coming.

On Tuesday evening, CEO, a pit company, complained to the newspaper that the Chongqing Airport Express port had been closed.

People familiar with the matter said that at present, almost all of Beijing Airport Express ports are expensive.

A pport company provided the Beijing Airport Express clearing service provider's quotation for AOC Logistics: 20 yuan per document information entry fee, that is, delivery charge; 8 yuan per kilogram customs clearance fee.

The person in charge said that the toll payment was not paid before.

Transshipment service is a low margin business.

Before the mail access was closed, the gross margin of the industry was as low as 0.5 US dollars.

A boss of a Chinese pshipment company in the United States complained to the newspaper that losing several iPhone would cause the company to do it for 1 months.

More sources say that many Chinese pshipment companies are losing money in recent years.

It is not difficult to understand that the recent pshipment company's service price has increased by 50%: doubling the first line of the US central line between the same boat express, the LAX express and the Western express, and the freight rate of Rui Tian Express has risen from $3.5 a pound to $7 and a 4 pound pound.

A large number of purchasing small businesses are hard to sustain, and consumers are beginning to wait and see.

In addition, pport companies began to collect customs duties, and express customs clearance requires consumers to upload identity cards and photos. Many people worry about personal information exposure.

The former Let 's E Buy moderator said that many small shops have come to the head, and the forum small purchase network business has been closed.

Another industry insider said that many C2C e-commerce platform "

Some multinational purchasing businesses have warehouses in China, and some stocks, but cross border pport volume has decreased by 1/3.

This leads to a chain reaction: reduced pactions, reduced pport volumes and poor pport companies.

Many pport companies began to lay off staff.

Losangeles warehouse staff only 1/3.

Breaking down depends on more channels.

Some pport companies began smuggling.

The insider said that the "big price" marked on the official website of some phipment companies was mostly the parallel tariff.

This newspaper learned that many pport companies are now actively contacting the second tier city airport port to seek clearance of Airport Express clearance.

People familiar with the matter may be effective. In the next 1~2 months, several second tier cities are expected to open.

A person close to the customs system said that for the airport express port, many local customs had little experience inside the customs, and customs policy tightening was also one of the reasons for the slow progress.

A lower tax allowance may be an indirect cause.

According to the existing regulations, the customs import tax shall be exempted from the amount of RMB 50 yuan (including 50 yuan).

As a result, the workload of the customs is huge, and it is difficult to realize all the parcels one by one.

People familiar with the matter said that affairs were complicated, with systematic policy pressure and worry about mistakes. Many customs departments were not active in opening up express ports.

Between 2004 and 2010, the amount of personal import import tax exemption was 500 yuan, down to 50 yuan in 2010.

The head of a pport company said the industry hoped that the quota could be appropriately raised.

This is the growth of the cross-border shopping industry.

It's not personal.
