Hot Events
On June 18, 2009, the Russian government announced that it would focus on destroying Chinese "smuggled" goods worth up to 2 billion US dollars, and asked the city of Moscow to close the Cherkizovo market as soon as possible. Among them, Zheshang goods accounted for 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Cherkizovo market is Europe's largest retail and wholesale market, there are nearly 10,000 Zhejiang people in this business, 40% of the market goods from Zhejiang.
The worst losses were suffered by Zhejiang merchants, especially those in Wenzhou, who reported losses of 1 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, Yiwu merchants lost more than 300 million U.S. dollars, and Pujiang and Ningbo merchants also suffered large losses of more than 50 million U.S. dollars each. Yu Shenglian said, although the business in Russia, Taizhou businessmen and Yiwu businessmen, is one of the main force of Zheshang business in Russia, but because of the preparatory work done in advance, in the destruction of the "smuggled" goods in the impact is not very large, valued at about 3.5 million U.S. dollars.
"This batch of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars worth of so-called 'smuggled' goods, is the September 11 last year, Russia's Special Prosecutor's Committee and the Customs anti-smuggling police in the name of rectification of the market, to combat the 'gray clearance' of the name seized in a raid on a large container market." Yu Shenglian said.
These so-called "smuggled" goods refers to Chinese businessmen through the "gray customs clearance" of goods into Russia, that is, the consignor in China, delivery, payment, the consignee in Russia to receive the goods, the rest of the intermediate links, including transportation, customs clearance, commodity inspection, etc. are resolved by a number of customs clearance companies, by some of them. The rest of the intermediate links, including transportation, customs clearance, commodity inspection, etc. are all resolved by some customs clearance companies, who perform customs clearance procedures and collect taxes, but generally do not provide the consignor with customs declaration documents.
Because the "gray customs clearance" than the "white customs clearance" (i.e., normal customs clearance) to save a lot of money, and Zhejiang commodities due to the low value-added, generally inexpensive, so many Zhejiang businessmen chose to open shops in the "container market". The market" to open stores.
Yu Shenglian came to Moscow in 2000 to sell clothing in the container market, but also did a variety of ball sporting goods. Because the products are "gray customs clearance" over, Yu Shenglian experienced a wave of seizure of goods in Moscow at the end of 2001, and felt the bitter fruit of "gray customs clearance". "Now, engaged in the automobile and motorcycle parts business, generally can go formal customs clearance, try to go." Yu Shenglian said.
"In fact, Chinese businessmen in Russia sincerely hope that Russia, including trade, tariffs, including all areas of the strict legalization of the track, because Chinese businessmen hope that their goods can arrive on schedule, can be normal customs clearance, do not want to be on behalf of the Russian function, law enforcement agencies fish and flesh of Chinese businessmen's graft and corruption practices have suffered." Yu Shenglian said.
Aiming at the Russian government's successive introduction of the ban on business orders and close due to "gray customs clearance" caused by zero sales and zero part-time work and other policies, Taizhou businessmen in Russia to prepare for a rainy day, take measures to actively deal with.
"Last year, July and August, we put clothing, shoes and hats and other commodities, from the edge of the market scattered areas to the middle of the market safer place to transfer." Yu Shenglian said. Due to timely measures in place, the damage to Taizhou merchants is not very large. Among them, the largest amount of damage for 500,000 U.S. dollars, the least for 100,000 U.S. dollars. "Originally, the glasses also belonged to the 'gray clearance' deduction of goods, due to its sales time in the first half of the year, luckily escaped."
Currently, there are more than 2,000 Taizhou businessmen doing business in Russia, of which four to five hundred are engaged in clothing, shoes and hats. In recent years, by the Russian "gray customs clearance" rectification measures, Taizhou businessmen to the distribution of attention to the Muscovite market and other currently more secure market, the mode of operation from the previous retail to wholesale.
