Packages sent back from abroad are subject to customs control, and if they are released, they will be cleared and sent to domestic cooperating couriers, who will be responsible for sending your parcel to you. But very few of them will be checked by the customs, and if your goods exceed the taxable amount, you will not be released immediately, and you will be informed to pay the corresponding tax, and your package will be released after the tax。
Schedule of customs prices for general goods
How much would you pay if you were taxed
What is the calculation of import duties on personal effects: exhaustion price x import duty rate = amount of import duty tax due
Exhaustion price: for example, you bought an electric razor, real commodity price was $1300, and the exhaustion price schedule provided for electric shaving. Your tax is calculated on the basis of 200, and it has nothing to do with the $1,300 you actually paid。
Import tariff rate: the rate for electric razors is 20 per cent according to the expiry price schedule。
Import duties = 200*20%, or 40 yuan, but 40 isn't tax-free for more than 50 yuan, so if you're taken for inspection, you don't pay tax. If you have two electric razors in one package, you'll pay 80 bucks
What are the odds of being taxed?
It's only a matter of luck to see if customs can find your package, but it's also related to the goods that are bought, such as general health care, mother and child goods, electronics, which are very low in probability, but also to the weight of the package, for example, milk powder is usually relatively safe within 2-4 cans, keeping in mind that the probability of being taxed is around 7 per cent. There are also high rates of taxes on some commodities themselves, e. G. Digital products, luxury goods, etc. The choice of trans-shipment companies is also important, as some trans-shipment companies are more heavily located and taxed at a higher rate, so be careful when fishing。
How can we reduce the likelihood of being taxed?
Packages with a declared value of more than rmb 1,000 are delivered separately, if not individually, and freight costs are higher but more stable。
The trick of a package is to try not to place the same thing in a package, or to have more than one thing in it, or to put a package together as much as possible, so that when a name is declared, it can have multiple names, and if a single name is identified, it's more likely
The weight of the parcel should preferably be kept to a lesser degree, with customs clearances being carried out in the form of taxes, evacuations and other cases, all of which were paid for by themselves, and the express delivery company, if not responsible, had suffered directly from its own losses。
Incoming addresses are frequently changed and not always used the same address and the recipient's telephone number, such as a new route or a new sub-area, where the goods are developed at a single address and the package is sent at the same address after the previous package has been cleared。
What should i pay if i'm taxed?
There are transit companies that collect on their behalf, and if they need to pay their taxes, they will inform you that they will pay them. Your packages will be released, of course, and some will be collected by courier companies, like ems, which will call you first, and then, as soon as you pay taxes at the post office。
Summarizing some of the ways in which fishing makes sense
Many foreign shopping sites offer direct mail services to china, but they must not choose direct mail, preferring to transfer more than once via chinese express。
Because large shopping sites generally select well-known courier companies such as dhl, ups, which pass through commercial customs in the form of goods whose value, once exceeded standard, are subject to even greater value-added tax, turnover tax, etc., and are sometimes valued not by real value, but by customs itself, with the result that the tax is probably higher than the value of the goods! So don't leave the mail so you can go straight, or you won't cry when you get a customs tariff。
Select a reasonable port to send different items。
The majority of chinese couriers offer several different ports, and transport costs will vary. In trans-shipment, you have to see which of your goods is more reasonable to choose, clothing shoe hats, milk powder, small amounts of health care, a four-dollar/pound port, cosmetics, digital products, and possibly a six-dollar/pound port, while some luxury trans-shipment companies, such as jiuwo, speed and so forth, can provide a tax and the freight costs are higher. It would be preferable to spend more freight to travel to places where customs clearance is more efficient or tax-abundant, and not to try to get over it。
It's a lot of weight and a lot of weight!
The purpose of the boxes is to reduce the size of the packages so as not to draw attention to them. Imagine if a large, dozens of pounds of boxes were declared as personal effects, would customs not open the boxes for inspection? The second is to reduce losses to zero once taxed, so that the entire army is not destroyed。
When the transit order is completed on the chinese express website, the category of goods, such as “health care” and “clothes”, should not be declared too high, preferably below $100。
Based on experience:
(a) clothing: each box is kept within 6 pounds to the extent possible and not exceeding 4 pieces;
Milk powder baby food: a maximum of 6 per box of powdered milk with a weight of up to 8 pounds。
Shoes and sneakers: each box is contained within six pounds and not more than two pairs per box;
(a) health products, cosmetics: not more than 10 bottles per box, combined with as many commodities as possible, the more variety the better, the less a single commodity and not more than 2 pounds per box;
Watch: a box of watches!
Cell phones, digital products: higher value (over $100 per unit) per box!
Apple products: customs special treatment for apple mobile phones is taxed in their entirety, at a tariff rate of $150 per item, and general transit companies receive advance tariffs。
