Change Of Customs Tariff Quan Shoes Enterprises Were Unprepared

      Customs duties The change of Quanzhou Shoes Enterprise be taken by surprise. On January 7, the reporter learned from Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that by the same day, more than 900 batches of Quanzhou goods had failed to comply with the customs declaration New tariff The total value of goods exceeds 30 million US dollars.

After the incident, Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau urgently dispatched personnel to change the inspection application data. By January 12, the change of inspection application data for all blocked goods had been basically completed.

      Four days for one salesman

At noon on January 2, a burst of rapid phone calls completely disrupted Zheng Yuemin's holiday. Zheng Yuemin is a salesperson in the export department of a famous shoe enterprise in Quanzhou, who is specially responsible for handling the commodity inspection application procedures. "Sister Zheng, our inspection application materials are wrong, and all of them have been returned by the customs. You should go to the commodity inspection department to change the inspection application materials, or you will miss the shipping date." At the other end of the phone, there was the voice of the company's customs declarant, Xiao Zhang.

Zheng Yuemin, who has been dealing with commodity inspection for many years, never regained consciousness for a moment. "I have been responsible for handling the commodity inspection application procedures for almost 10 years, and this time it was handled according to the usual practice. How could it be wrong?" Zheng Yuemin muttered to himself, "Don't worry, what's the matter?"

      “ Customs duties The measurement unit of our shoes has changed this month, from pair to kilogram. You should go to the commodity inspection department to change it, or you will fail to report. " Xiao Zhang said.

After putting down the phone, Zheng Yuemin went to the company to get the information, and immediately rushed to Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. As soon as he got to the door, he heard a lot of voices in the hall. It turned out that there had been several long queues in the hall. After asking an acquaintance, he knew that everyone was coming because of the same problem. On the glass side, the staff of the Inspection Department of Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, who is responsible for the change of commodity inspection data, have been very busy.

It seems that it is useless to be anxious. Zheng Yuemin consciously ranks at the back of the line. She counts carefully, and there are 26 people waiting in front of her. Complaints came from time to time, "Why didn't you notify us earlier when the tax rules were changed, which made us half tired?"

More than an hour later, there were fewer and fewer people in front of Zheng Yuemin, but more and more people behind him. Zheng Yuemin began to celebrate his early arrival, "I'm afraid there are 40 or 50 people behind me, and I'm afraid they can't wait until someone else gets off work."

Later facts proved that Zheng Yuemin was celebrating too early. Because their company had more than 30 batches of goods that needed to change the commodity inspection data, Zheng Yuemin ran to Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau every day in the following four days. The unlucky one was that Zheng Yuemin was busy from more than 3 p.m. to nearly 7 p.m. to finish the day's work.

According to the statistics of Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in the short five days from January 2 to January 7, Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has received more than 900 applications for changes in the enterprise's commodity inspection data, the most one day received 420, with a total value of more than 30 million dollars.

      Delivery date is delayed

According to Li Shaoyang, the chief of the inspection section of Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the goods blocked in customs declaration this time are mainly sports shoes. According to the normal procedures, the goods need to be sent to the commodity inspection department for inspection 7 days before shipment, and can be declared for export only after the commodity inspection department has inspected the certificate of conformity.

If it is not for the phenomenon of centralized obstruction, the enterprise will not delay the delivery time from finding the error of the commodity inspection data to the completion of the change, but like this time, more than 900 batches of goods are blocked together. Although Quanzhou Entry Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau quickly organized personnel to support the work of the Inspection Department, the number of data to be changed is too large, It is inevitable that the shipment of export goods will be delayed.

This means that the enterprise may bear the loss of goods delay. According to Zheng Yuemin, most of their company's more than 30 batches of re declared goods have missed the shipping date and can only wait for the next ship to ship. "Now the company is negotiating with the purchaser, and they are all old customers. The purchaser should be able to understand this kind of thing."

However, Quanzhou I gym shoes Mr. Ding, the person in charge of the enterprise, is not so lucky. This time, his enterprise also had four batches of goods returned at customs declaration, all of which missed the delivery date. One batch of goods was intended to be sent to a new customer in the United States.

"Americans have always had a hard time communicating with each other, and this time they met a new buyer. This buyer was relatively large and it was not easy to win over. But the first time they did business, they could not guarantee the delivery period. I'm afraid this buyer could not be kept." Mr. Ding was a bit disappointed when he said this. "Should I have enough time to prepare for the implementation of the new policy in the future?"

As for the change of the tariff, a relevant person in charge of Quanzhou Customs was also surprised. "Shoes have been measured by 'pair' for many years, and suddenly changed to 'kilogram', which should be an unavoidable reason."
