second, select and determine the manufacturers and products of imported wine
selecting an imported wine with good quality, exquisite packaging, reasonable price and marketable is very important for the market sales and profit of imported wine business enterprises. How to find and find a good wine? First of all, according to their own specialties, geographical scope, amount of funds and promotion ability, we should determine the types of products that need to be represented, the price grade of wine and the annual purchase volume.
The specific search for manufacturers can be carried out through the following processes and ways:
1. Participate in wine exhibitions.
At present, there are many professional wine exhibitions and product promotion sessions at home and abroad. Through these meetings, agents can directly negotiate with many manufacturers face to face, and can compare the quality, price, packaging, supply agent conditions and so on according to their own needs.
2. Searching online
You can search and browse foreign wine websites online, and contact wine manufacturers by mail, telephone and fax. After some communication, choosing the right product requires the manufacturer to send samples of wine for visual inspection and wine quality tasting. After satisfaction, we will negotiate the price and supply conditions, and finally sign a contract and go through the relevant formalities such as Chinese registered trademark.
3. Get the information of foreign wine merchants who want to develop in China through the introduction of professional consulting companies or foreign business organizations in China.
III. Import duty on imported wine
Current tax rate for imported bottled wine (taxes levied are paid in RMB):
1. Tariff: 14% (tariff: CIF× 14%);
2. VAT: 17% (VAT: (CIF＋+customs duty) × 17%);
3. Consumption tax: 1% (consumption tax: [(CIF+customs duty)/(1 ~ 1%) ]× 1%).
IV. Handling "Chinese registered trademark"
An imported wine business enterprise should get the form from the local commodity inspection and quarantine bureau and prepare the following declaration documents:
1. Business license of the enterprise;
2, wine quality inspection and quarantine report;
enterprises need to inspect the corresponding imported wine samples by the State Administration for Commodity Inspection and issue inspection reports.
3. Original printed copy and translation of the manufacturer's Production License (this certificate should be issued by the local relevant institution or organization in the producing country);
4. Original printed copy and translation of the manufacturer's Hygiene Permit (this certificate should be issued by relevant local institutions or organizations in the producing country);
5. The original printed copy and translation of the wine production process of the manufacturer (only a simple description of the wine production process is required, and it is stamped with the corporate seal or signed by the person in charge. ）；
6. Chinese trademark design proofs.
keep the foreign language displayed on the original front label, and there must be a corresponding translation on the Chinese label, and the font of Chinese product name is larger than that of foreign product name. The proof must be the original size and can be a color print.
after the above information is complete, it will be reported to the state commodity inspection bureau for examination and approval through the local commodity inspection bureau, and a "Chinese registered trademark approval letter" will be issued, with one wine corresponding to one trademark. If a wine applies for another trademark, the Chinese name of the wine must not be the same. However, if the declared Chinese name is duplicated, another name is needed.
V. Determination of the Chinese name of imported wine
1. If it is named after the grape variety name or manufacturer name, it will be named after the Chinese name of the grape or manufacturer;
2, named after the place of origin, named after its Chinese translation;
3. For the sake of corresponding pronunciation between Chinese and foreign languages, those named after brands are generally named after transliterated Chinese characters.
VI. Precautions for receiving and sending sample wine
1. Postal company: Generally, it is better to choose a multinational courier company for postal delivery, so that it can be delivered by one company in the whole process, which is convenient for reducing transit and tracking. In addition, due to the large business volume and familiarity with customs, large postal companies can coordinate import matters through them.
2. Damage-proof packaging: Long-distance international mail belongs to fragile sample wine, so manufacturers are required to do a good job in damage-proof packaging of sample wine.
3. The problem of customs collection of sample wine: At present, domestic customs still generally collect customs duties, value-added tax and consumption tax on sample wine sent from abroad. Before sending the sample, both parties should determine which party is responsible for paying the import duty of the sample wine. If the foreign merchant adds "the shipper pays the tax" on the mailing list, the postal company will collect it from the foreign merchant, otherwise it will be paid by the consignee.
