For purchased overseas supply channels and cooperation pattern is different, different degree is also affected by the new storm. The current domestic real \"overseas act as purchasing agency\" is a minority, tt is filled with many \"copycats, these\" copycats waist the possibility of being struck by the customs policy is smaller, but can be subject to price increases the chance to make a larger profit. But the real buy on sb's behalf, survival will face greater challenges.

There are several categories of current overseas act as purchasing agency.

The first category is a person shopping abroad or professional purchasing team to buy overseas targeted goods, back to home after doing business;

The second category is the individual sellers by overseas mail order home shopping website, and then to act as purchasing agency;

The third kind is the overseas sellers through their environment advantages, help domestic sellers to buy on sb's behalf, then mail to the sellers.

With the seller loss mail-order channel replenish onr's stock

Purchased overseas sellers is through overseas channels to purchase goods and then mail back, on the basis of the purchase price, freight increases, part of the service fee to the domestic consumer sales. Tariff and the main impact to seller by mail.

Act as purchasing agency costs will rise by more than thirty percent

Previously, inbound and outbound personal postal articles management measures are: personal postal articles levy is in accordance with the relevant personal items published in 1994 by entry tax regulations. According to the rules, personal items sent from or sent to Hong Kong and Macao region limit is 800 yuan, allowance of 400 yuan. Sent from or sent to other parts of the personal items limit is 1000 yuan, allowance is 500 yuan. On September 1, personal postal articles, apply for import duties under 50 yuan (including 50 yuan) exemptions, apply for the import tax of more than 50 yuan, according to the relevant provisions to impose import duties.

Before the import amount shall be exempted from this minimum 400 yuan to 50 yuan, overseas postal costs increase. For example bought Japanese medicine makeup products, the cosmetics of the dutiable price 300 yuan of above, according to the 50% import tax rate calculation, act as purchasing agency costs will increase by an average of 30%.

In accordance with the general administration of customs in 2007 published \"the luggage of passengers and personal postal articles payment price list\", the dutiable price is 200 yuan per kilogram of milk powder, the tax rate shall be 10%. In terms of infant milk powder, post 6 cans of weight of 900 grams of milk powder, need to pay import duties of 0.9 x 6 x 200 x 10% = 200 yuan, and after this 6 cans of milk powder shipments that do not need to pay custom duty.

Overseas purchasing wholesalers

In addition, there are specialized in luxury goods such as overseas procurement business trade merchants. Companies mainly engaged in wholesale purchasing mode from overseas mass even one-off purchases goods, and then through the logistics channels into pass, after the goods into the country, which is not directly to consumers, but to wholesale in the international big retailers. Batch purchasing back foreign goods if an inventory, the wholesalers digest form inventory through sale drive field, etc. The customs the New Deal to wholesalers purchase less affected, because these goods after also through cargo logistics channels into the country, is the tariffs shall be levied according to the category of goods.

In addition to all kinds of logistics channels to enter, there are some overseas goods is directly by the people back home. In addition to friends to buy on sb's behalf, sometimes through the guide buy on sb's behalf. Let the tour guide act as purchasing agency can sometimes get lower prices, because a legally abroad some stores will give people some discount. After customs tighten postal articles entering the preferential policy, in charge of the international line guide become the bestselling act as purchasing agency industry.

Act as purchasing agency just to be strong and act as purchasing agency industry in the short term, vulnerable

In recent years, the rapid growth of the size of the market of domestic overseas act as purchasing agency. In all kinds of purchased overseas products, cosmetics, milk powder, cases, bags, shoes and hats, clothing and other foreign goods purchase rate is higher. The implementation of a New Deal will increase the cost of purchased overseas, act as purchasing agency industry will be a hit. Affected by the tax adjustment and depreciation, profits shrink, corresponding purchased overseas market development speed will slow. But due to the goods purchased overseas than domestic counters have certain price advantage, under the influence of overseas goods brand, purchased overseas commodity demand will not have too big change.

The move to the traditional customs act as purchasing agency industry is undoubtedly a blow, part of the act as purchasing agency faces or rise in price, or shut down the dilemma. Is also in order to standardize the act as purchasing agency industry by the general administration of customs, friends always mixed company, bought fake and real fly together, legal and smuggling color, make an uninformed consumers silly points not clear. The move, definitely the represented by large electricity business shopping platform such as cross-border electricity \"regulars\" status, some on behalf party's situation will be even more difficult. For consumers, it is actually a good thing.
