Ship to Hebei Province and other places under other names.

Mink fur is the crown of mink fur. Its skin is soft and thin, its capillary is soft, and it has good thermal insulation effect. However, the reproductive capacity of mink is not strong and the number is rare. Therefore, mink skin is very expensive and is known as "soft gold" in the international market. In recent years, as the domestic fur clothing industry has developed towards high-end, the demand for mink and other animal furs as luxury goods has been increasing. However, the supply of domestic mink fur is insufficient and the grade is low. A considerable part needs to be imported from excellent producing areas such as Northern Europe and North America. .
According to relevant regulations, mink skins imported through normal general trade need to pay a comprehensive tax rate of 30%, and require a license issued by the relevant national department before they can be imported. In order to evade the high amount of taxes payable, smugglers are bound to take desperate measures and adopt various means to evade customs supervision and disrupt the normal market economic order.
In addition, imported mink skins are legally inspected commodities and must be inspected by inspection and quarantine agencies. Animal furs entering the country without inspection are prone to carrying pathogenic microorganisms and may spread infectious diseases including foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, tuberculosis, etc. Threaten agricultural and animal husbandry production and people's health.
Since the beginning of this year, Nanning Customs has coordinated and promoted the "National Sword 2017" joint special action, played an important role in "fighting to promote taxation", and resolutely cracked down on the smuggling of key tax source commodities such as tobacco and alcohol, agricultural products, and high-end consumer goods. At the same time, we adhere to the idea of ??"great collaboration" in anti-smuggling work, and actively work with various localities and law enforcement agencies to comprehensively build a "great collaboration and multiple chains" anti-smuggling social governance system to effectively curb the momentum of smuggling within the jurisdiction.
