Policy Interpretation

The General Administration of Customs issued 2023 announcement No. 170, since December 1, 2023, non-customs declaration enterprises due to non-subjective intent, caused by customs administrative penalties in violation of customs regulations within 1 year, not included in the Customs identified untrustworthy enterprise credit status records. This is undoubtedly a good news for non-customs declaration enterprises, according to the "Peoples Republic of China Customs registration and record enterprise credit management Measures" (General Administration of Customs 251 order) 22nd item 3: Non-customs declaration enterprises within 1 year in violation of customs regulations by customs administrative penalties more than the previous years customs declaration, entry and exit record list, entry and exit transport manifest and other documents of the total ticket thousands of one and the total amount of customs administrative penalties more than 1 million yuan; It is identified as a dishonest enterprise by the Customs. Then after December 1, 2023, non-customs declaration enterprises within 1 year, non-subjective and intentional violations of customs supervision regulations and customs administrative penalties, will not be identified by the Customs as untrustworthy enterprises.
In general, Announcement No. 170 is good news for enterprises, provided that enterprises need to pay attention to non-subjective intent, in law, non-subjective intent can be regarded as a negligence, that is, the actor did not foresee that his behavior may cause a certain consequence, or although foreseen but think that such consequences will not happen, so did not take the necessary measures to avoid the occurrence of such consequences. In our work, this kind of non-subjective intention may be the declaration error caused by the upstream and downstream of the supply chain rather than their own reasons, may be our own work process lax control, may be the HS coding technical reasons wrong classification, etc. In short, enterprises must pay attention to business communication traceability and system operation marks, to prove that our declaration wrong behavior is not subjective intentional behavior. Otherwise, it is difficult to determine whether it is intentional behavior.
