Frequent Gold Smuggling Cases Behind: This Profession is Making a Fortune in Silence

Deep in the Hong Kong dock at night, a cargo ship is quietly unloading 30 tons of "special goods". The scanner of Customs Officer Zhang suddenly emits a harsh alarm, and it turns out to be neatly arranged gold bars after opening the box - this is already the third case of undeclared gold entry this month. While ordinary people are still studying the trend of gold prices, A Hidden Hundred-Billion-Dollar Market is Operating Quietly: Gold Bar Import Agency.

Ms. Li brought back two 100-gram gold bars from Dubai last year and was detained by the customs for three whole months. However, Mr. Wang, a customer of Zhongshitong, imported 200 kilograms of gold bars at the same time and completed customs clearance in three days. The differences are:

• Policy Maze: China implements a quota system for gold imports, and the annual quota for ordinary enterprises is only 500 grams
• Tax Trap: 17% value-added tax + 10% consumption tax, but processing trade can enjoy tax rebates
• Channel Barrier: Only 6 institutions such as the Shanghai Gold Exchange have import qualifications

Professional agents can provide a "Gold Customs Clearance Combo":

• Realize "Tax Deferral" through bonded area warehousing
• Transform gold bars into "semi-finished products" by using processing trade manuals
• Connect with licensed financial institutions to complete foreign exchange verification

A businessman in Zhejiang believed the "package customs clearance" promise, and the 30-million-yuan gold bars are still missing. Common risks include:

• Fraud of false "customs relationships"
• Whole batch confiscation due to smuggling and
• Break of the underground bank's capital chain

With the deepening of the RCEP policy, the import tariff of gold in ASEAN will be zero in 2025. A Singaporean bank predicts that China's gold import volume will continue to grow at an annual rate of 23% until 2026. In every gram of gold premium you see now, there is the Compliance Premium Space created by professional agents.
