11.货物申报金额低于800美金为什么会被征收关税
美国海关会针对同一天向美国海关申报相同发件人和相同收件人信息(收件人公司,姓名,电话等)的运单进行合并申报征税,如果金额超过800美元,则需要缴纳关税。
当货物产生关税时,意味着部分货物价值已不在Section321条款的适用范围内。根据美国税则的要求,收件人/发件人需要提供相应HS code等商品的清关材料,具体文件请参考美国海关的网站U.S. Customs and Border Protection | U.S. Customs and Border Protection (cbp.gov)
什么是Section321条款:
321条款是由美国海关和边境保护局所发布的入境货物税费调整规定,同一收发件人每天只能享受800美元以内的免税优惠。
The Section 321 (CBP) allows goods to avoid formal entry filing and duty tax, but the goods must be valued at no more than $800 and are limited to one person on one day.
在发货前,为了避免计划外的税费、确保快件享受免税条件,您可以事先确认以下事项:
您的货物不属于美国禁限运品或美国海关有特殊监管要求的产品;
您的货物快件是否符合Section 321条款;
您是否按照DHL建议的格式提供运单、发票等清关文件。
低于800美金被征收关税的几种情况:
No.1:Shipment must be imported by one person on one day
货物必须是由同一个人在同一天进口(即以公司名义进口的不适用)
No.2:Consolidated shipments addressed to one ultimate consignee are treated as one importation
送达同一个最终收货人的合并货物将会被视为一票进口货物(即同一人在同一天内进口几票货物加起来总额超过800美金也不能适用)
No.3: No alcoholic beverage,perfume containing alcohol(except where the aggregate fairretail value in the country ofshipment of all merchandisecontained in the shipment doesnot exceed $5), cigars, orcigarettes will be exemptedfrom duty and tax payment.
酒精饮料,含有酒精的香水(除非了装运所有商品的装运国的总体公平零售价值不超过5美元),雪茄或香烟不能被豁免征税。
CFM不适用
No.4: Exemption is not allowed if CBP believes that the shipment is one ofseveral lots covered by a singleorder or contract, and that it was sentseparately for the express purposeof securing free entry or for thepurpose of avoiding compliancewith any pertinent law or regulation
如果海关认为该票货物是属于单一订单或合同下的几个批次之一,并且是为了自由进入(免税)或避免遵守任何相关的法律法规的目的才单独发货,这种情况不能豁免征税。
No.5: Exemption is not allowed in the case of any merchandise of a class or kind provided for in any tariff-rate quota
属关税配额其中品类的商品不能免税(比如农产品属于关税配额的产品不能豁免征税)
CFM不适用
No.6: Exemption is not allowed if one or more Partner Government Agencies require information to fulfill their regulatory requirements
如果一个或多个合作政府机构需要信息才能实现监管的货物不能豁免征税(比如涉及FDA部门监管的货物不能豁免征税)
CFM不适用
No.7: CBP Authority:
As a reminder, even in the case of low value shipment, CBP has the right to require a formal entryon any shipment where additional information, bonding, or protection is required. Theadministrative exemption may be denied if CBP believes that the shipment was sent as a low valueshipment for the purpose of avoiding compliance with any pertinent law or regulation.
(即使我们申报的是低于800美金,但是美国海关依然有权要求做正式清关申报。只要海关怀疑发货申报低货值是为了避免遵守某些相关法律法律,该票货物就有可能被拒绝豁免征税。)这也是最应该解释的一条,就是:你申报的是低于800美金,但美国海关有权怀疑你是故意低报,而对货物重新估价,估价高过800美金,那么还是要征税的。
