Do international students need to pay taxes when they return to their home country after graduation

In China, the Customs has clarified that if the total value of imported articles for personal use obtained abroad by Chinese resident passengers is less than RMB 5,000 (including RMB 5,000), the Customs will release them duty-free; Non-resident short-term travelers only 2,000 yuan.

The 20 kinds of commodities that should be taxed by the state are: televisions, video cameras, video recorders, video players, audio equipment, air conditioners, refrigerators (cabinets), washing machines, cameras, photocopiers, program-controlled switches, microcomputers, computers, unlimited paging systems, fax machines, electronic computers, printers and word processors, furniture, lamps and meals.

If you also have baggage that you would like to check back to your home country, Seven Seas Worldwide will choose the customs declaration method that suits your specific situation to save costs.

This kind of sea baggage back to China belongs to the transport of separate luggage, when the value of the goods approved by the customs exceeds 5,000 yuan, more than 5,000 yuan will be taxed, in addition, the state stipulates that the 20 kinds of goods that should be taxed are: televisions, video cameras, video recorders, video players, audio equipment, air conditioners, refrigerators (cabinets), washing machines, cameras, photocopiers, program-controlled switches, microcomputers, computers, unlimited paging systems, fax machines, electronic computers, printers and word processing machines, furniture, Lamps and meals. If you have these 20 items in your luggage, it is taxable, depending on how much your luggage is and how much it is worth.

Customs Announcement No. 43 of 2010 clearly describes that the limit for items sent by individuals to or from other countries and regions is RMB 1,000 per transaction. If it is more than 1000 yuan,It should not be sent by personal mail

Personal baggage shall be mailed by means of "separate baggage returning home". This will not only ensure that the baggage will not be returned, but you will also have a tax exemption of 5,000 yuan. That is to say, the assessed value of the baggage does not exceed 5,000 yuan, and you do not need to pay taxes, except for the baggage containing taxable items.

There are 20 kinds of taxable items in China: televisions, video cameras, video recorders, video players, audio equipment, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, cameras, photocopiers, program-controlled switches, microcomputers, wireless paging systems, fax machines, electronic computers, printers, word processors, furniture, lamps, meals, desktop personal computer hosts, and liquid crystal displays. All of the above items are taxable, whether they are old or new, and whether they have a tax exemption or not.

International students will not be taxed on items with a total value of no more than 5,000 RMB when entering China Customs; For the part exceeding 5,000 yuan, the personal postal articles tax shall be paid proportionally, and the customs will levy the full amount of the indivisible single item.

There is also a limit on duty-free goods that international students can purchase at duty-free shops in China. The Announcement on the Policy of Duty-Free Shops at Ports of Entry stipulates that, on the basis of maintaining the duty-free limit of RMB 5,000 for imported goods of resident passengers, they are allowed to increase a certain amount of duty-free shopping at duty-free shops at ports, and the total amount of duty-free purchases at ports shall not exceed RMB 8,000.

Students who carry a large number of duplicate unopened items will be fined if they are recognized by the customs as "business activities". The tax exemption standards stipulated by Chinese laws are only applicable to "reasonable quantities" of goods for "personal use".

Article 64 of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Penalties stipulates that "self-use" refers to the passenger's or recipient's own use or gift to relatives and friends, rather than for ** or rent; "Reasonable quantity" means the normal quantity determined by the Customs based on the situation of the passenger or the recipient, the purpose of travel and the length of stay.

The E-Commerce Law stipulates that individuals engaged in sporadic small-value transactions do not need to register as market entities in accordance with laws and administrative regulations, but they are also required to pay taxes in accordance with tax collection regulations. After the first occurrence of tax liability, students shall apply for tax registration in accordance with the provisions of the laws and administrative regulations on tax collection and management, and truthfully declare and pay taxes.

Failure to do so will result in a fine of 20,000 to 500,000 RMB.

After the implementation of the E-Commerce Law, e-commerce operators will face fines of up to RMB 2 million if they violate the law. If students want to engage in **, they need to do the following: in addition to applying for a Chinese business license, they also need to register a local business license; Need to pay taxes according to the law.

Once tax evasion is detected, it will bear the corresponding criminal responsibility;

Overseas students should note that when entering China Customs, items with a total value of no more than 5,000 RMB will not be taxed; For the part exceeding 5,000 yuan, the personal postal mail tax shall be paid proportionally; If the unit price of a product exceeds 5,000 RMB, the customs will levy the full amount of the indivisible individual item.

There is also a limit on duty-free goods that can be purchased by overseas students at duty-free shops in China. The Announcement on the Policy of Duty-Free Shops at Ports of Entry stipulates that, on the basis of maintaining the duty-free limit of RMB 5,000 for imported goods of resident passengers, they are allowed to increase a certain amount of duty-free shopping at duty-free shops at ports, and the total amount of duty-free purchases at ports shall not exceed RMB 8,000.

There is no tax on small items for personal use. But if you bring too much (especially new electronics, etc.), you can't keep it in. Under normal circumstances, students are rarely spot-checked as long as they do not carry large bags and small bags.

But if there are a lot of things, don't leave anything to chance, and declare customs honestly. There have been news that international students have returned to China and brought too many books (hundreds) without customs declaration and were fined.

If you just copy one, actually.

Don't be so troublesome, remember not to use a box, have a notebook packaged, and no one will collect taxes if you carry it with you, and personal items will not be taxed if you don't come here and sell them again, and the number is only one or two if no one cares. And isn't it afraid of breaking down in the consignment? If you buy the all-in-one kind, it is estimated that you can't carry it with you, so you can only check it out, but you should worry about whether the computer will be damaged, and you shouldn't have to think about collecting taxes.

Probably not

At least I've never heard of anyone being detained.

There are only two ways to send luggage back to China, namely: express delivery and luggage shipping.

To send the luggage back to China by express delivery, it is recommended to choose large international express companies such as EMS, DHL, FEDEX, UPS, etc., which are large in scale and highly credible. There are official customs clearance channels, and the parcel information can be queried on the official website of the international express with the international express tracking number.

It should be noted that the business of Chinese Express, transit company, and third-party international express delivery should be used at its discretion, and the company's qualifications must be verified.

International express delivery is in the form of active customs declaration, that is, the type of parcel and the value of the declaration need to be provided. Announcement No. 43 of 2010 of the General Administration of Customs of China clearly describes that the limit for items sent by individuals to or to other countries and regions is 1,000 yuan per transaction. That is to say, if the value of your luggage exceeds 1,000 yuan, it should not be sent by international express, and it is likely that customs clearance failure will lead to return.

Baggage shipping is a special baggage check-in line specially designed for international students returning to China. When international students return home from graduation or vacation, or when travelers return to their home country from tourism, they need to mail their luggage, and it is a good choice to send their luggage back to China by sea transportation.

In most of the cities in China, Seven Seas Worldwide's own vehicles come to pick up the luggage, and in a small number of remote areas, Seven Seas Worldwide cooperates with UPS, and UPS transports the luggage and parcels to the Seven Seas warehouse, which carries out document scanning, baggage reinforcement and other operations, and then carries them to China through its own logistics network, where the Seven China customs clearance team will clear the customs and then deliver them to the recipient.
