Summary:
China Customs, government agency that supervises and manages all arrivals in and departures from the Customs territory of the mainland of the People's Republic of China
China Customs is a government agency that supervises and manages all
arrivals in and departures from the Customs territory of the mainland of the
People's Republic of China.
It exercises a centralized management structure. The mission of China Customs
is to guard the national gateway and provide services. It’s essential tasks are
Customs control, revenue collection, fighting smuggling and foreign trade
statistics compilation. Its specific responsibilities include revenue
collection, fighting smuggling, Customs control, supervision and management of
bond operations for processing trade, foreign trade statistics compilation,
audit-based control and risk management, and port management.
Currently, the revenue collected by China Customs mainly includes
Customs duties, import VAT, consumption tax and vessel tonnage tax.
China Customs have played an important role in the formulation and
implementation of import and export tariff schedule and preferential tax
policies, CEPA (Closer Economic Partnership Arrangements with Hong Kong SAR and
Macao SAR), FTA negotiations, implementation of rules of origin, zero import
tariff treatment for fruits originating from Taiwan Province and other relevant
policies and measures.
Customs control over processing trade and bond operations is a new
Customs management model which means that, after getting promise from
enterprises that there will be no loss of national revenue, Customs does not
levy duties on their import goods but exerts control over the whole process of
processing until the processed goods are re-exported.
Currently, E-Customs System has been upgraded, switching from H883 to
H2000. For E-General-Administration System, they have developed and applied the
sub-systems for import and export statistics compilation, risk management,
enforcement evaluation, revenue analysis and monitoring, prior warning
monitoring, office automation, anti-smuggling investigation, etc.
Shanghai Customs has fully implemented a new clearance model of
“preliminary Customs Clearance; release after actual checking the goods”, in
which e-manifests for customs declaration is accepted instead of the traditional
practice of forestalling customs declaration until the arrival of goods. With
this current model, the average time for Customs clearance is 2 hrs 53 min.
which is an 86% improvement over the traditional method. To date, Shanghai
Customs has signed the “Paperless Clearance Agreement” with 1319 companies.
The Import and Export Tariff is a tariff rate table of customs duty of
the imported and exported goods dutiable or free from duty formulated, released
and implemented through the legislative procedures in conformity with the
national tariff policies and economic policies. It is the legal basis on which
the customs levy the customs duty and is also the specific embodiment of the
tariff policies of a country.
Guangzhou Customs District is in Guangzhou, the capital city of
Guangdong Province. Its supervision area takes about one half of the
administrative area of Guangdong Province, including Guangzhou city and other
more than 40 cities and counties in the western and northern part of Guangdong
Province.
