Legal analysis
The object of the crime of illegal business operation should be market order. In order to ensure that the market for buying and selling goods and import and export goods is restricted, the state implements a business license system for the above-mentioned goods. Among them, the import and export license system is an important part of the business license system. Buying and selling import and export licenses and import and export certificates of origin not only violates the market order, but also violates the foreign trade management system. Objectively speaking, it is characterized by operating franchise, monopoly goods or other restricted goods without permission, buying and selling import and export licenses, import and export certificates of origin, business licenses or other approval documents stipulated by laws and administrative regulations, and engaging in other illegal business activities that disrupt market order and have serious circumstances. Without permission, it mainly deals in franchised and monopolized commodities or other commodities whose trading is restricted by laws and administrative regulations. In order to ensure the normal order of the market, China restricts the trading of some materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood, people's life, health and safety and public interests. After approval and obtaining a business license, they can engage in business activities such as acquisition, storage, transportation, processing, wholesale and sales. It is illegal to operate without approval. The so-called restricted goods refer to goods that are not allowed to be bought and sold freely in the market according to regulations, such as important means of production and consumer goods that are not allowed to be bought and sold freely according to state regulations, and goods in short supply operated by specialized units designated by the state.
