Cosmetics tariff plans to reduce domestic business opportunities and meet the crisis

 

CNDSN January 21st news (Southern Metropolis Daily) side of the car, "Shanghai free trade zone 'cosmetics import process'" quietly in Alibaba business service website to "reference price 2200 yuan" is to peddle publicly; on the other side of the car, the China Korea FTA substantive negotiations had ended, but also atmosphere.

Originally, the Korean cosmetics cheap duty-free, again, how much will have greatly again? Imported cosmetics customs tax reduction, to domestic enterprises and foreign influence of high priced cosmetics, will be the pattern?

Cosmetics import tax rate

The river becomes warm in spring the duty-free shop prophet

It seems in many people, one of the largest airport duty-free shops on duty free shop in Shanghai free trade zone of Pudong airport comprehensive bonded zone out of imported goods duty-free shops, is to deal with the free trade policy landing to save.

Although the outside the airport duty-free shops is not completely unrestricted open purchase, customers need to collect the departure or arrival, but plenty of shopping time, and comprehensive bonded zone is relatively low rents and other factors, is regarded as the old tax exemption for coping with the FTA policy landing direct performance.

According to Shanghai customs release imported consumer goods in the first 7 months of this year Shanghai city statistical data, in the free trade area of imports, imports of cosmetics is 2450000000 yuan, imports only to the automotive, medical and health care products, watches, ranked fourth; growth rate is up to 45.7%, ranked second.

"Shanghai free trade zone 'cosmetics import process'" in Alibaba business service website, shows more potential FTA policy after landing the imported cosmetics market.

According to industry experts, the import of cosmetics generally adopt two ways of direct clearance and go bonded warehouse. First multinational cosmetics enterprises usually adopt the direct way, customs, and most of the two or three line imported brands generally choose bonded warehouse way. If set up factories in the free trade zone, the semi-finished raw materials and packaging into two processing, and then import declaration to the domestic market, is expected to save a lot of cost.

China cosmetics net had previously quoted a import & export company responsible person given "books" refers to a single product: 10 calculation, filing a commodity's price is 10000 yuan, component inspection fee is 10000 yuan, need for 2-3 months (for the record, the germinal and other daily chemicals slimming health products relates to the effects of the even for six months), 10 commodity has not entered the market to invest about 200000 yuan; but if by bottled raw materials into the FTA, components for the record 30000 yuan, a month is done, 17 square meter container clearance price of 20000 yuan, the total is down only 50000 yuan.

Local business opportunities and crisis and welcome

"This will be the future cosmetics tariff reduction, this is actually for our local cosmetics transformation, I think there's a possibility, but I don't know what will be a long time, there may be a dramatic change in the future. What is the change? Now cost and retail price comparison of cosmetics may gradually reduce. This narrowing trend should be a high demand."

Said the ten longevity Group Director, Korea brand management center director Xiao Rongshen Nandu accepted a reporter to interview.

Xiao Rongshen is currently in active and South Korea South Korea cosmetics enterprises to discuss matters of import agent.

"The final solution and the ROK cooperation has not come out. But we think that once the FTA to start, then, South Korea imported cosmetics should be able to lower 20% ~ 30%." In Xiao Rongshen's opinion, if the China Korea FTA can start smoothly, the local cosmetics enterprises to do OEM (OEM) or ODM (English O riginalD esignM anufacturer abbreviation, literal translation is "original design manufacturer") have great potential, because of the lower cost will be obviously.

Of course, for local cosmetics enterprises, the tariff reduction, perhaps will also face new challenges. In November 27th, the Australian National Gallery online store launch ceremony in Shanghai free trade zone was formally test.

The so-called national archives of Australia, is actually in Shanghai since the trade test area first established in the country as the unit comprehensive exhibition and trade platform, at present, there have been Botani cosmetics brands such as in the sale. In accordance with the Australian National Museum of planning, the museum in addition to online platform, also plans in three years to open 100 stores nationwide, to give consumers the opportunity to experience.

China Department Store Business Association Deputy Secretary General of cosmetics and washing products, daily chemical industry branch senior expert Feng Jianjun in Nandu to accept the interview with reporters, said, fine chemicals from Europe and the United States, compared to foreign brands, domestic brands lack in basic and precipitation production research and development, process design, process manufacturing field. Australia and other products to near zero tariff form into China, to local cosmetics, may be a challenge.

Of course, the opportunity is also contained in the challenge. In Feng Jianjun's view, China paste product market is very big, reduce customs clearance costs, between China and foreign countries in the industrial chain of communication is expected to strengthen, it will not only help to improve China native cosmetics R & D, in aspects of process, also will be beneficial to the local chemical industry chain whole competitiveness.

Widespread tax price scissors

Tariff as a trade policy, in a very long period of time to protect the development of domestic local cosmetics enterprises.

"A South Korean makeup to enter the Chinese market, on the need to increase the 10% customs tax, 30% of the consumption tax, value-added tax, the name of 17% (in order to sales minus imports amount of calculation, but also has the 'grey' avoidance of the space), the general skin care products also need to pay 5% of the value-added tax and customs clearance 17% tax." This is a domestic experts in 2012 October survey a South Korean exports cosmetic companies get data.

And with the lowering of tariffs, South Korea a lot of low-grade cosmetics into Chinese is represent the general trend. Statistics show that the first quarter of this year, exports to South Korea China cosmetics and beauty products jumped 320%. In June this year, South Korean cosmetics exports amounting to $152500000, the highest since 2000, the single month high. Among them, the Chinese mainland and Hongkong area export scale is the largest, were $44850000 and $28730000, accounting for about half of total exports.

The relevant tax case, exports have been hit "days", once the 6.5% import tariff on cosmetics in Korea imposed Chinese cancel, South Korean cosmetics in Chinese market overall competitiveness significantly improve will be predictable.

This does not include the Amazon, Tmall international, Jumei Youpin do cross-border beauty business leaders to promote the collective electric.

In their view, import the make-up before the reason than foreign expensive, because the overall import tax of up to 35%. With the substantial cuts in tax, the market is expected to happen subtle change.

In addition, in Feng Jianjun seems, originally on the tax burden difference eat cosmetics Yetai survival will face greater pressure. The cosmetics industry in Hongkong has been the three largest retail industry focus, but with the mainland free trade policy landing and execution, there Hongkong almost single tax burden difference channel will be broken. *
