The changes, announced by the Finance Ministry last week, include
raising the so-called parcel tax that is currently imposed on foreign
retail products that e-commerce firms ship into China.
Moreover, such goods sent directly to consumers will now be treated
as imports and will be subject to tariffs and value-added and
consumption taxes, whose rates vary depending on the type and value of
goods. The ministry said the changes, which become effective April 8,
are intended to put foreign and domestic products on an equal footing.
Industry analysts said the move seems designed to give a boost to
"made-in-China" products and could dent a small, but growing, market for
foreign goods sold by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., JD.com Inc. and other
e-commerce players.
