| I have brought with me laptop and digital camera with me without declaration through the customs before without any problem, but now the new rule says if we don't have anything to declare, we have to declare in written that "nothing to declare".
And of course there might be consequences that if we signed on the form saying nothing to declare and they find out later we have things that should be declared... The new rule starts from today, things with a value higher than RMB5,000 should be declared. For example if I have to take my laptop for a biz trip out of China and will bring it back after the trip. I shall fill in two forms, they'll take one of it away, and I'll keep the other one so that when I enter China again with the same laptop, with that same form, I can go without being taxed. I don't know how they deal with the laptop taken out before Jul 1st and will be brought back after... i.e. there was no form filled when the laptop went out of China... interesting |
