New Customs Measures Took Effect July 1, 2005 Pertaining to Bonded Logistics Centers

On June 23, 2005 the Customs General Administration of the PRC issued Provisional Administration Measures on Bonded Logistics Centers (Haiguan Zongshuling [2005] No. 129 (A type centers) and Haiguan Zongshuling [2005] No. 130 (B type centers).   It is important to note that Bonded Logistics Centers A and B are not the same as the Bonded Logistics Zones (also referred to as Bonded Logistics Parks). The Central Government State Council is the approval authority for the Zones, whereas Customs authorizes the A & B Logistics Centers.   Type A Logistics Centers Type A Logistics Centers consist of warehouses with one operator. Currently, type A Logistics Centers in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">China</place></country-region> don’t exist. However, the Merchants Bureau is under application for this type of logistics center.   Type B Logistics Centers Type B Logistics Centers are groups of warehouses with different operators. Currently, the <placename w:st="on">Suzhou</placename> <placename w:st="on">Bonded</placename> <placename w:st="on">Logistics</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</placetype> is the only type B Logistics Center in operation in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">China</place></country-region>. Companies such as UPS and Bax Global are operating in this Logistics Center. A notable difference at the <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Suzhou</placename> <placename w:st="on">Bonded</placename> <placename w:st="on">Logistics</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Center</placetype></place> is that companies claim they can change their HS codes during processing, whereas in the Bonded Logistics Zones you cannot.   Bonded Logistics ZonesBonded Logistics Zones are located near the ports.  Conclusion   Further research is needed to determine if the A or B type centers can simultaneously be located inside a Bonded Logistics Zone. It appears that it is intended that the logistics centers will be located in areas separate from the logistics zones near the ports. It will take some time for further implementation of the Logistics Centers before a more clear distinction can be made between these 3 very new logistics vehicles in China. 9 application/xml false bonded logistics bonded logistics center bonded logistics park bonded logistics zone bonded warehouse china bonded warehouse china customs china export china import china logistics Suzhou Bonded Logistics Center (Type B) Website for the Suzhou Bonded Logistics Center http://www.suzhou-logistics.com/index.asp Provisional Administration Measures on Bonded Logistics Centers Link to Provisional Administration Measures on Bonded Logistics Centers (Type A) http://jmcj.ec.com.cn/pubnews/2005_07_08/100872/1096628.jsp Provisional Administration Measures on Bonded Logistics Centers Issued PDF download from Deloitte with short brief on Bonded Logistics Centers http://www.deloitte.com/dtt/cda/doc/content/cta0805(1).pdf China Bonded Logistics Centers - By Ernst&Young Building a Tax-Effective Supply China in China With Bonded Logistics Centers; Sept 2005 http://www.ey.com/global/download.nsf/China_E/China_Bonded_Logistics_Centers/$file/China%20Logistics%20Centres%20(Sep%2005).pdf Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Establish 208.105.4.154 false true false false true 187565 false false true false false false true 94086 blog blogsite/ChinaSupplyChain/web
