What is 9610 export mode? 9610 export mode review

1. About 9610 export mode

9610 is a four-digit code. The first two digits are the classification code divided according to customs supervision requirements and computer management needs, and the last two digits are the customs statistical code.

9610 customs declaration export is aimed at small-volume, which is commonly known as the cargo collection model, such as international express delivery. The "list verification and release, summary declaration" method is adopted, and cross-border enterprises push data to the tax and foreign exchange management departments to realize tax refunds.

2. Reasons for the emergence of the 9610 policy

For sellers who export by mail or express delivery, if a single package is declared and cleared according to general trade export, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources to complete, which will inevitably be detrimental to the development of small and medium-sized sellers.

Therefore, in order to facilitate tax refunds for such sellers, the state has introduced the "9610" policy. The "9610" policy is a customs clearance model that appeared as early as 2014. At that time, the General Administration of Customs also added the customs supervision method code "9610" to serve small and medium-sized cross-border e-commerce companies that sell to individual consumers. Under the "9610" model, the customs only needs to review the export commodity list submitted in advance by the cross-border e-commerce company, and after the review is passed, the actual goods can be released. This not only makes the customs clearance efficiency of the company higher, but also reduces the customs clearance cost.

3. The core of 9610 export declaration

(1) List verification and release: cross-border e-commerce export enterprises push the "three information" (commodity information, logistics information, and payment information) to a single window. Customs will review the "list" and handle the goods release procedures, which will increase customs clearance efficiency and reduce customs clearance costs.

(2) Aggregate declaration: refers to the cross-border e-commerce export enterprises regularly compiling a list to form a customs declaration for declaration. The customs will issue a customs declaration tax refund certificate to the enterprise to solve the export tax refund problem of the enterprise.

3. Implementation process of 9610 customs declaration model

The B2C export process under the 9610 model is that foreign buyers shop online → order payment → list verification → buyer receives goods → summary declaration.

(1) Enterprise registration. Any enterprise involved in cross-border e-commerce retail export business, including cross-border e-commerce enterprises, logistics enterprises, etc., shall register information with the local customs if it needs to handle customs declaration business.

(2) Customs declaration. Before declaring cross-border e-commerce retail export commodities, cross-border e-commerce enterprises or their agents or logistics enterprises shall transmit electronic information such as transactions, payment receipts , and logistics to the customs through the international trade "single window" or the cross-border e-commerce customs clearance service platform, and declare the export detailed list.

(3) Departure customs clearance. After the import declaration list is released, the cross-border e-commerce export goods are transported out of the country by means of transportation and the corresponding import declaration list is cleared.

(4) Aggregate declaration. After the export of cross-border e-commerce retail goods, the cross-border e-commerce enterprise or its agent shall compile the import declaration list of the previous month into an export declaration form before the 15th of each month in accordance with regulations. If the customs declaration procedures are allowed to be handled in the "list verification and release, aggregate statistics" method, no aggregation will be required.

5. Matters needing attention in 9610 export

To get a tax refund through 9610, you have to use express delivery or a dedicated line. If you use a postal agent, you generally cannot get a tax refund.

Cross-border sellers must compile a list of goods exported in the previous 20 days within 21 days and submit the list to the customs. The customs will issue relevant certificates to handle export tax rebates.
