According to chat records from some purchasing agents, the girl just bought three watches and two bags because of human flesh.
There is a feeling of purchasing agents, it is not easy to buy people on behalf of meat.
Complain that fake purchasing agents make too much money, and that real human flesh purchasing agents now have a life-threatening alternative to making less money and taking risks.
Others commented that the matter could not be blamed on customs, and that the staff were just enforcing the law in an impartial manner.
People`s flesh purchasing agents are checked, can only self-hapless, did not expect that the psychological quality of the girl is too poor.

# with the upgrade of customs system, it is becoming more and more difficult for people to buy meat.
Shanghai airport purchasing agent suicide is a fake, but now the Chinese customs is more stringent, the rate of exposure of purchasing agents in the customs is also getting higher and higher, but it is an iron-like practical matter!
What kind of profession is overseas purchasing agent?
No social security, no social insurance and house fund, no high-temperature subsidies, no travel subsidies, no so-called rest!
Everyone`s first impression of purchasing agents is profiteering, everyone is trying to cut prices, perhaps from a customer`s point of view, this is nothing wrong, can only be said to be the limit of this profession.
Purchasing agents themselves also have hidden dangers, with the entry of genuine goods, customs inspection system is increasingly upgraded, the risks faced by purchasing agents are also doubled.
Customs announcement, strictly investigate human meat purchasing agents!
First of all, the customs channel is upgraded, and a new face recognition system is added.
The main function of this face recognition system is to cross-border inspection, the machine will scan the face information as fast as possible, then it will show the clearance time, the number of customs clearance has bad records, there are purchasing agents have been withheld, there is no record of penalties and taxes.
In other words, the identity of purchasing agents can be identified within a second. Now two of the eight major ports in Shenzhen have begun to implement face recognition, namely the Luohu Port and the Shenzhen Bay Port.
Not only that, in addition to synchronous customs clearance times, consumption information will also be recorded in the system, including consumption card records, how much consumption abroad, all clear.
# Sydney girl returned home to be "taxed" #
Just a while ago, a Chinese girl living in Sydney blew herself up in Time line:
When she returned home, she was fined $3000!
According to the netizen, she helped her family and herself before returning to China, and bought three Gucci bags in Sydney, all for their own use. Two of them have been used, but one is brand new.
As a result, at the time of entering the Chinese customs, they were found by customs officers. So for the "unused" package, ask for a 30% additional tax!
# Stars are no exception, "tax" you don`t discuss #
China`s customs system regardless of your identity, what social status, a problem directly seized. We can often see on the news that xx stars are detained at customs.
At the beginning of this year, for example, Zhang Han was detained as a purchasing agent by customs because he was carrying a lot of luxury goods.
According to the site, netizens exposed: "Zhang Han airport was checked by the customs, the end of the year we return to remember to air ahead of time."
In the photo, Zhang Han is dressed in a black duvet, a black baseball cap, sunglasses, and pushes a trunk full of cars alone.
Without an assistant, he was stopped by the customs staff and was being checked.
It is said that the final payment of the corresponding fine before being released by the customs.
In the same vein, Zhang Han`s ex-girlfriend Zheng Shuang, who returned home from the United States for buying three Herm è s bags, was detained by customs for six hours before being released at 3 a.m.
Another bizarre example is he Rundong, who returned to mainland from TW and was detained by airport customs on suspicion of smuggling when he returned to mainland with more than 100 boxes of condoms.
Later, he Rundong specifically responded to this matter: "I am the spokesman for this product in Hong Kong, many friends know, asked me to bring them some free products, I had to follow their orders, did not expect to be found by the Customs. The funniest thing is, the customs officer also asked me, he Rundong, more than 100, do you use it yourself? "
Netizens made a summary: whether you are a star tourist or purchasing agent, we are the same in front of the customs.
# what you must know about overseas purchasing agents!

If possible, wear valuables on your body, on your back, on your hands;
There is no need to take all the consignments with you.
Ordinary goods are taxed in excess of part, but all taxes are levied on indivisible goods.
Take, for example, the value of a Gucci package, worth $1200, or about RMB 7900RMB, so it`s not a tax on the 7900, 000, 000, and 2900, but a tax on the 7900 as a whole.
The tax exemption amount is calculated according to the family peer member, not the individual peer household to declare together, enjoy 5000 yuan tax allowance together.
Common mistakes in tariff payment in China
Q: it`s all my stuff to bring home. Why do I have to pay tariffs?
A: wrong idea! There is no legal basis. Because the vast majority of overseas shopping is self-use behavior, this is also the focus of the new rules.
Q: my things have already been taxed in Australia. Why do I have to be taxed again when I return home?
Answer: this "tax" is not "tax". Australia is paying the consumption tax, when returning to China to pay tariffs, Australian brands in the domestic shopping malls are the main reason for high tariffs!
Q: how does the Customs judge that I bought it in China or Australia?
Answer: bring invoice, or leave China before, declare in advance.
Q: would I be taxed if I bought a $5500 watch?
A: it is legally taxable, but normally there is only one watch and it belongs to your own use, so the Customs may look into it less.
Q: how do you define "self-use scope" and "non-self-use scope"?
A: whether it belongs to the scope of self-use is the decision of the Customs, mainly to see if it is reasonable. For example, a person with five clothes is normal, but five iPhone is obviously not self-use scope.
Q: are the items purchased at the airport duty-free shop included in the 5000 duty-free quota?
A: on the basis of maintaining the duty-free limit of RMB 5000 for entry items of residents, it is permitted to increase the amount of duty-free shopping by a certain amount at the entry duty-free shops at the port, a total of which cannot exceed 8000 yuan. In other words, duty-free shop shopping is not included in the 5000 quota, there are also 3000 quotas.
Q: is there a tax on returning home with cigarettes?
Answer: more than 400, that is, 2 (10 pack one to calculate), cigar limit 100, tobacco 500 grams.
Q: will you be taxed when you buy iPhone home?
A: mobile phones, cameras are not tax-free items, direct full tax. And those who are not tax-free, put what they often buy in front of them.
Therefore, special attention should be paid. If you are preparing to bring a camera to your family and friends at home, bring a computer or something, if you are found out, you will pay tax according to the regulations. Customs also have a tight eye on the high-value items on these lists.
Q: Australian green card citizen, do you have to pay tax on personal supplies for home visits?
A: beyond the scope of personal use, the same tax is levied. And the allowance is only 2000 yuan.
Q: what if foreign students return home for the last time with everything?
A: the returning service personnel applied to the Customs and submitted the following documents:
(1) "Application form for self-use articles" in four groups (signed by myself);
(2) my valid passport (original and photocopy);
(3) the Certificate of returned students issued by Chinese embassies and consulates abroad (original and photocopies);
(4) Certificate of residence within the territory issued by the public security department (original and photocopies);
(5) other supporting documents, such as a certificate of graduation, a certificate of education, and so on.
Q: what are the chances of being unpacked by the Chinese Customs?
A: not as high as Australian Customs, but once it is found, it is bound to be taxed. The best way to do this is to use everything you use for your own use. Generally speaking, customs is also very reasonable, if you find your things are self-use, they will not be particularly difficult for you, their focus is to check purchasing agents.
Q: how do customs people know the price of these items?
A: customs people are very knowledgeable, basically there is no possibility of muddling through the customs. Even a few niche brands can be recognized, a variety of popular styles are directly quoted prices.
Netizen expose: a customs uncle, who looks like my father`s age, pointed to my fur ball and said, this one is $500. You can do something else and you can pay the tax. I`m confused.

# impression conclusion #
Australia, is a very suitable country for purchasing agents!
Milk powder, health products, luxury goods, jewelry and so on, are very good purchasing products, very popular with the Chinese.
However, in the last 2 years, China`s customs has stepped up postal and airport baggage inspection efforts.
The probability of random check is getting higher and higher, and the risk of purchasing people by purchasing agents is becoming more and more serious.
Impression is here to remind friends, of course, there is nothing wrong with making money, but only if local laws and regulations are obeyed.
Do not think that you have never been found, with luck.
Often walk by the river, how can you not wet shoes? If you`re not careful, you may be the next person to be "taxed".
