中华人民共和国海关关于入境旅客行李物品和个人邮递物品征收进口税办法
海关总署
第一条 为了照顾个人进口自用物品的合理需要,简化计税手续,根据《海关法》和《进出口关税条例》的有关规定,特制定本办法。
第二条 准许应税进口的旅客行李物品、个人邮递物品以及其他个人自用物品(以下简称应税个人自用物品),除另有规定的以外,均由海关按照《旅客行李物品和个人邮递物品进口税税率表》征收进口税。
本办法所称的进口税,包括关税和工商统一税。
《旅客行李物品和个人邮递物品进口税税率表》(以下简称《税率表》)是本办法的组成部分。《税率表》中税率的调整,由海关总署提出,报经国务院关税税则委员会审定后,对外公布实施。
第三条 进口税的纳税义务人是:携有应税个人自用物品的入境旅客及运输工具服务人员,进口邮递物品的收件人,以及以其他方式进口应税个人自用物品的收件人。

第七条 应税个人自用物品放行后,海关发现少征税款,应当自开出税款缴纳证之日起一年内,向纳税义务人补征;海关发现漏征税款,应当自物品放行之日起一年内向纳税义务人补征。因纳税义务人违反规定而造成的少征或者漏征,海关可自违反规定行为发生之日起三年以内向纳税
义务人追征。
海关发现或确认多征的税款,海关应当立即退还,纳税义务人也可自缴纳税款之日起一年内,要求海关退还。
第八条 纳税义务人同海关发生纳税争议时,应当先按海关核定的税额缴纳税款,然后自海关填发税款缴纳证之日起三十日内向海关书面申请复议。逾期申请的,海关不予受理。
海关应当自收到复议申请之日起十五日内作出复议决定,并通知纳税义务人。纳税义务人对复议决定不服,可以自接到海关通知之日起十五日内向海关总署申请复议。海关总署在接到复议申请后,应当在三十日内作出复议决定,并通知纳税义务人。

美国虽然是世界上经济规模最大、最发达的国家之一,但美国的商业贿赂行为并不很多见,这与美国完备的反商业贿赂机制是分不开的。
在美国,相关部门对商业贿赂行为的监管非常细致,一经发现蛛丝马迹必然追查到底。2006年,美国纽约州司法部会同美国26个州的司法部长和联邦检察官,对默克旗下的药品福利管理公司——默得克公司进行司法审查,诉该公司违反了各州的消费者权益保护法和药品经营许可法等法规,存在商业贿赂嫌疑。依据是,默得克公司处方药品邮购市场份额。如:默克公司的哮喘病处方药“欣流”的邮购销售额达76%,高于其市场占有率67%;另一种处方药“降舒之”的邮购比例为41%,超过了其在全美市场实际占有率22%。同时,这些药品的价格也高于市场同类产品,侵犯了消费者的公众利益。按常情,默克公司的这种做法一般不会被视为商业贿赂行为。然而,从法律的严格要求角度说,这是通过不正当的商业手段达到商品促销的目的,已造成对消费者利益的实际侵占和市场不公平竞争。因而,默克公司受到美国司法部门果断严厉的法律制裁。
1890年美国制定了《谢尔曼反托拉斯法》,其后又根据新的市场变化制定了后续法律,包括1914年的《联邦贸易委员会法》以加强市场反垄断的力度。在美国,目前没有任何产品和服务是被少数一两家公司把持的,各个领域的各个公司均努力以最好的产品、最佳的服务和最优的信誉来招徕顾客,服务者和被服务者面临的是公平的市场。因此,企图通过商业贿赂来获得非正当利益的行为也就没有了市场。在反垄断方面,美国队所有企业一视同仁,即使对像微软这样的超大公司也不开绿灯。
在公开、严格的舆论监督机制中,商业贿赂乃至任何形式的贿赂都将作为商业和社会丑闻公布于世,使行贿和受贿者及公司本身都将遭受到道德的谴责和法律的制裁。在这方面,甚至涉嫌商业贿赂的行为也会被媒体曝光。开放透明的舆论环境也是治理商业贿赂的工具之一。
美国根据实际情况不断制定和修订相关法律打击商业腐败。从美国的情况看,治理商业贿赂既要严格的立法和执法,也需要营造一个不利于商业贿赂生长的政治、经济和社会环境。例如,《选举竞选法》规定:候选人收到超过200美元的捐款,须公布捐款者的姓名、住址、职业、捐款日期和数目。《行政部门雇员道德行为准则》规定:公职人员一次不得接受价值超过20美元的礼品,且一年之内从一个人处接受的礼品不得超过50美元。
美国严厉的产品责任追究制度,从更高的层面防治商业贿赂等不法行为。强化产品责任,就是从法律的高度保障消费者使用产品安全、经济等合法利益,从而在更高层面上防止企业通过商业贿赂等非法手段销售产品,侵犯消费者权益。
在美国,专门的惩治腐败队伍主要有两支:联邦检察官和州检察官。地方检察长虽然官职不高,因为他们是由选民直接选举产生的,不受制于其他高官。司法部长可以任命特别检察官,调查包括总统在内的任何政府官员。特别检察官一旦上任,就只对法律负责,不听命于任何人。

在美国,相关部门对商业贿赂行为的监管非常细致,一经发现蛛丝马迹必然追查到底。2006年,美国纽约州司法部会同美国26个州的司法部长和联邦检察官,对默克旗下的药品福利管理公司——默得克公司进行司法审查,诉该公司违反了各州的消费者权益保护法和药品经营许可法等法规,存在商业贿赂嫌疑。依据是,默得克公司处方药品邮购市场份额。如:默克公司的哮喘病处方药“欣流”的邮购销售额达76%,高于其市场占有率67%;另一种处方药“降舒之”的邮购比例为41%,超过了其在全美市场实际占有率22%。同时,这些药品的价格也高于市场同类产品,侵犯了消费者的公众利益。按常情,默克公司的这种做法一般不会被视为商业贿赂行为。然而,从法律的严格要求角度说,这是通过不正当的商业手段达到商品促销的目的,已造成对消费者利益的实际侵占和市场不公平竞争。因而,默克公司受到美国司法部门果断严厉的法律制裁。
1890年美国制定了《谢尔曼反托拉斯法》,其后又根据新的市场变化制定了后续法律,包括1914年的《联邦贸易委员会法》以加强市场反垄断的力度。在美国,目前没有任何产品和服务是被少数一两家公司把持的,各个领域的各个公司均努力以最好的产品、最佳的服务和最优的信誉来招徕顾客,服务者和被服务者面临的是公平的市场。因此,企图通过商业贿赂来获得非正当利益的行为也就没有了市场。在反垄断方面,美国队所有企业一视同仁,即使对像微软这样的超大公司也不开绿灯。
在公开、严格的舆论监督机制中,商业贿赂乃至任何形式的贿赂都将作为商业和社会丑闻公布于世,使行贿和受贿者及公司本身都将遭受到道德的谴责和法律的制裁。在这方面,甚至涉嫌商业贿赂的行为也会被媒体曝光。开放透明的舆论环境也是治理商业贿赂的工具之一。
美国根据实际情况不断制定和修订相关法律打击商业腐败。从美国的情况看,治理商业贿赂既要严格的立法和执法,也需要营造一个不利于商业贿赂生长的政治、经济和社会环境。例如,《选举竞选法》规定:候选人收到超过200美元的捐款,须公布捐款者的姓名、住址、职业、捐款日期和数目。《行政部门雇员道德行为准则》规定:公职人员一次不得接受价值超过20美元的礼品,且一年之内从一个人处接受的礼品不得超过50美元。
美国严厉的产品责任追究制度,从更高的层面防治商业贿赂等不法行为。强化产品责任,就是从法律的高度保障消费者使用产品安全、经济等合法利益,从而在更高层面上防止企业通过商业贿赂等非法手段销售产品,侵犯消费者权益。
在美国,专门的惩治腐败队伍主要有两支:联邦检察官和州检察官。地方检察长虽然官职不高,因为他们是由选民直接选举产生的,不受制于其他高官。司法部长可以任命特别检察官,调查包括总统在内的任何政府官员。特别检察官一旦上任,就只对法律负责,不听命于任何人。
