Early warning: Customs will strictly check the declaration, and errors in commodity code or quantity will be zero tolerance!

Published in:2019-01-03

After the integration of customs and inspection, the customs service does not seem to be lax about the illegal acts in import and export declaration, but is more strict.

 

 The recent administrative penalties of Shanghai and Guangzhou Customs have revealed a strong signal of severe punishment, and individual penalties have even made the foreign trade export industry realize the zero tolerance of the Customs for false reporting.  !

 

 The number of exported toys was understated by one and the amount was understated by US $ 1.50. Penalty!

 

 This ticket just happened yesterday in Guangzhou's customs punishment notice, causing foreign trade forwarders and customs declaration circles to shake off their chin. This export enterprise failed to report a single ticket for 970 tickets and 1455 US dollars only because it failed to report a single ticket and a sum of US $ 1.50. Many foreign trade forwarders may not think that it is a " small mistake" and the customs will not punish them by accident.  !  !

 On December 21, 2018, the parties entrusted a logistics company in Guangdong to declare one ticket of goods for export to Guangzhou Customs by means of market procurement.

 

 Goods items are declared as: plastic dolls

 

 Declared quantity: 970, declared price: 1455 US dollars

 

 The actual number of customs inspections was 971 and the actual price was 1456.50 US dollars. The false declaration of export goods affected the accuracy of customs statistics.

 

 According to Article 15 ( 1 ) of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Penalties, it was decided to impose a fine of RMB 1000 yuan.

 

 A lot of netizens have called for it, but not one more. As for the fine of 1000 yuan?  The inspection of the extra goods is only $ 1.50 ...

 

 No comment is made on this right or wrong, but the declaration is obviously untrue. according to the determination of illegal goods in section 1 of the customs measures of the people's Republic of China for customs to check the value of goods and articles in cases of violation of customs supervision regulations, order no 182 of the general administration of customs:

 

 Article 6 Where the items to be declared during the import and export of goods are not declared or are not declared correctly, which affects the management of state licenses, illegal goods are actually imported and exported goods.  Where only the quantity is declared falsely, the illegal goods are those whose actual import and export quantity exceeds the import and export quota of the license;  If the license is managed by " not one batch, one license" and the license still has the remaining quota, the illegal goods are those whose actual import and export quantity exceeds the declared quantity.

 

 

 Article 7 If the items to be declared during the import and export of goods are not declared or are not declared correctly, which affects the collection of state taxes, the illegal goods are the actual import and export goods.  Where only the quantity is declared falsely, the illegal goods are the goods of the difference between the actual import and export quantity and the declared quantity.

 

 According to the above regulations, it is illegal to inspect the extra goods, even one more according to the declared quantity. Export declaration is no joke.

 

 The cow force enterprise " accidentally" misstates the commodity code?  Customs: Penalty!  !

 

 This is another recent case:

 

 On December 17, the official website of the Shanghai customs issued the decision of the customs of Shanghai Waigaoqiao port area of the people's Republic of China on administrative penalties for false declarations by Wuxi yidatong enterprise service co., ltd and Wuxi jinfan metal trading co., ltd ( no 0151 [ 2018 ] of the customs of Shanghai Waigang ).

 

 

 Wuxi jinfan metal trading co., ltd, as the production and sales unit, entrusted Wuxi yidatong enterprise service co., ltd as the consignee and consignor to declare a batch of goods exported to the United States under general trade to the customs on June 25, 2018.

 

 The second item of goods is cold-rolled stainless steel plate 304, with a quantity of 14287.12kg and a declared commodity number of 72193390, corresponding to an export rebate rate of 13 %, with a value of US $ C&F36432.16, totaling 232323236.8 yuan and an export declaration No. of 2229201800002377543.

 

 After inspection, the actual export goods are metal supporting fixtures and should be classified as commodity number 7308900000, corresponding to export tax rebate rate of 9 %

 

 The above facts have already constituted a violation of customs regulations.

 

 The above acts are evidenced by customs declaration documents for export goods, customs inspection records, customs identification documents for import and export goods, customs inquiry records, written statements by the parties, information notes, and export tax refund information of enterprises.

 

 According to Article 86 ( 3 ) of the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, Article 27 ( 1 ) ( 4 ) of the Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China and Article 15 ( 5 ) of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Punishment,

 An administrative fine of 3700 yuan was imposed on Wuxi Yidatong Enterprise Services Co., Ltd.;
