Bai Yi gave me a brief introduction to the customs clearance procedures of Ghana Customs: divided into several steps, the first is commodity inspection assessment, that is, the invoice packing list and bill of lading copy of the customs clearance container, submitted to the Commodity Inspection and Evaluation Bureau, generally other countries can find a third-party assessment agency, and China must go to the assessment agency designated by the Ghana government (because Chinese will make fake invoices to make the value of the goods very low, their government has set up an assessment department specifically for Chinese), generally they do not recognize the amount on your invoice, He will re-evaluate your price according to the name, material, volumetric weight, function, etc. of the goods you described, and the internal evaluation bureau also has a reference price range; After the assessment is completed, you will be given an assessment form, which will be calculated by the customs when you get the customs report, and then you will pay the tax according to this; Thirdly, the customs will appoint someone to the site to open the box to inspect the consistency of your goods and declarations, and have the right to question your price and give a 100% penalty for the undeclared part; The last pass is the person in charge of customs stamps and releases, giving you all the original customs clearance documents.

"In fact, there is a big loophole in this, assessment and verification are two departments, the assessment is only based on the documents we provide, not according to the actual situation at all, then I can assess the time to declare less or not declare, and then to the scene to unpack, buy the customs officer on the line, it must be more cost-effective than the declaration." In my logistics major, there is a teacher who has explained the operation of the freight forwarding part.

"Clever, so you see this is the declaration assessment form I made" Bai Ying handed me a yellow-green piece of paper like a certificate.

I took it and took a look, the pump equipment (water conservancy) declared by Bai Ying, and related accessories, the import duty is free, the value-added tax is 17%, and the total assessed CIF price is 2500 US dollars (CIF price means CIF price, international sea freight, for example, your original price is 1, sea freight is 1, insurance is 1, the three add up to the CIF price, the customs assessment is assessed according to the CIF price, the same all over the world), the total tariff is more than 500 US dollars (there are several small taxes, West African education tax, etc.), In fact, Wei Ergou told me that the value of the things purchased in this container is 300,000, and according to the declaration of gold digging equipment, at least 70,000 tariffs must be paid, and now Bai Ying is obviously very familiar with the tax rate of Ghana Customs for various products, and uses the tax exemption clause of water conservancy equipment to declare the gold digging equipment as a water pump for water utilization (the main part of Shanglin gold digging equipment is Shanglin's unique water pump), no wonder many Guangxi bosses queue up to find Bai Ying for customs clearance, and this different declaration method can reasonably avoid taxes and save tens of thousands, And even if the on-site switch person questions you, the main part of the box is originally a water pump, and the customs does not need to compare with you whether it is really for gold digging or water use, of course, it may be estimated that you will have to tip at that time.

"Is the water pump exempt from duty in Ghana?" I asked after reading it.

"Yes, so just now I asked who is the customs in charge of the unpacking and verification of Wei Ergou's cabinet today, because it was replaced a few days ago, so this time you have to be cautious, and know in advance to say hello and discuss the price, you know." Bai Ying made a gesture to count the money, "Ghana customs is generally black, and the wharf is an ATM, according to the past, generally speaking, 500 CCID is OK (local currency, the exchange rate at that time 1 CCID is 4 yuan). ”

"Well, you are really too professional in this industry, when you were at Dubai Airport, Wei Ergou said that you are a celebrity among the Chinese at the Ghana terminal."

"There are doorways to implement them, and when I said it casually just now, you don't know what's going on. I just got familiar with the internal processes and links at the terminal, and I knew the key parts of each link. Bai Ying discussed his work not at all like crying that day, looking like a professional freight forwarding agent.

"Then I understand, the core key point of customs clearance in Ghana is how to declare your name reasonably, so that the declared things are tax-free or have a lower tax rate." I looked at the white white.

"Yes, such as agricultural equipment, water conservancy equipment, are tax-free, many equipment customs can not use the naked eye to distinguish what is doing when opening the container, and they are very lazy by nature, a little tip, and it will pass, of course, you can't declare such as refrigerator as water conservancy or agriculture to fool them, then it is likely to give you a fine, or the tip will be relatively high. Therefore, being familiar with their customs tariff law is the core, and then using his words and the unclear boundaries of real items to make a reasonable declaration, such as imported accessories, accessories are divided into cars, motorcycles, machinery and equipment, etc., etc., the tax rate is definitely different, in fact, where does the customs figure out what to do. "Tell me a lot of words.

I went up and touched her head, "My girl is smart" (I started calling her "girl" in private these days).

There was a knock at the door, and I immediately let go of my hand and sat down, and Bai Yan sat back down behind the desk and called in. A white old man came in from outside the door, Bai Yan immediately stood up and walked over to him very politely to shake hands and say hello, it seems that it should be Bai Yan's boss, Bai Yan introduced me to her customer, the boss said hello to me Welcome, and then handed an envelope to Bai Yan, said a few words and left, Bai Yan spoke very quickly, and did not hear clearly.

As soon as I wanted to ask Bai Yao, she said to me, "Just now this is our managing director here, the biggest leader, inside this envelope is the bill of lading of 20 excavators imported by him, let me help clear customs, but do not tell other colleagues, especially those who come regularly from the headquarters, I am Chinese, do not mix with white people, he also trusts me." In the past two years, the price of gold has risen very high, and the demand for excavators is also very large. “

"Oh, doing private work, does he dig gold by himself, or does he sell it?" 、

"He has channels to buy cheap ones in Europe, their CAT cart machine qì is indeed of good quality, but the machine qì is also more expensive, I see that the purchase invoice he gave me is 350,000 US dollars a Carter excavator, he should be rented or sold, according to what I heard several Guangxi bosses said that they had rented his machine qì Kaishan Road, renting a day is 2,000 US dollars, and one is that Ah Feng introduced and sold to a proprietress in Guangxi, it is said that it was sold for 600,000 US dollars."

"This private work is really profitable, an excavator earns 25 US dollars, how much do you pay him for customs clearance?" I counted with my fingers.

"Due to the large value of the goods themselves, 200,000 US dollars were assessed, and although the machinery and equipment were exempt from tax, the value-added tax was also paid 340,000 US dollars." Bai Yan thought thoughtfully.

"That's a lot of money! 200,000 US dollars, 1.3 million yuan, even if the Chinese earn 100,000 yuan a year, or eat or drink for 13 years. Your boss's private work is very profitable, this time you have entered so much, 20 units, that is a net profit of 4 million US dollars, 25 million yuan, oh my God! He wants to earn enough money for the rest of his life at one time! "I picked up my desktop computer and pressed it constantly, giggling as if I had made so much money.
