By Streamlining Administration, Delegating Power to Lower Levels and Transforming Functions, What has China Customs Transformed?
[Netizen: anonymous]: Upon the reform of the qualification exam for customs declarers, how will the Customs conduct relevant management? 04/03/2014 14:46:45
[Qiu Yueling]: This kind of question has been answered already. I should say that the Customs will know the level of customs declarers from their management over the customs brokers, and the customs brokers will select the superior and eliminate the inferior through the market. 04/03/2014 15:28:55
[Netizen: anonymous]: As stated in GACC Decree No.216, the Administrative Measures of the General Administration of the People’s Republic of China for Declarer Score Evaluation was abolished as of March 12, 2014. However, we still suffer score deduction during the declaration. So what’s the reason? April 1, 2014 10:08:33
[Chen Xudong]: According to GACC Decree No.221, the Customs still record the errors made by customs brokers during declaration. Such records are represented by the score deduction you mentioned. But unlike before, there is no longer a restriction of no more than 30 points. 04/03/2014 15:34:49
[Netizen: anonymous]: Are registered in-service customs declarers required to go through formalities for the extension? 04/03/2014 15:21:11
[Qiu Yueling]: Not required. 04/03/2014 15:37:39
[Chen Xudong]: For the original Certificate of Declarers due after March 13, declarers have no need to handle the extension formalities, and the customs system would automatically change the original valid term to a long term. 04/03/2014 15:40:46
[Netizen: anonymous]: As it mentioned just now, the provision of a registered capital of RMB1.5 million for the registration of a customs broker has been cancelled. Then, what is the registered capital required now? Or does it mean there is no requirement for registered capital? 04/03/2014 15:12:09
[Chen Xudong]: According to Decree No.221, the provision on a registered capital of a customs broker has been cancelled and there is no such requirement any more. 04/03/2014 15:39:23
[Netizen: anonymous]: As an in-service customs declarer, I’m most concern about the convenience generated from revising “examination and approval” involved in “modification and revocation of Customs Declaration Forms” to “application”. 04/03/2014 15:10:20
