A cross-border e-commerce company in Xiamen exported galvanized steel sheets and steel pipes from 2021 to 2022.These products fall under the category of “two highs and one resource-intensive” goods—high-pollution, high-energy-consumption, and resource-intensive products—and are subject to taxes at the export stage.

The tax authorities issued a notice requiring taxpayers to file their returns.They didn't turn it in.After a thorough investigation, it was determined that 4.03 million in taxes and fees had been underpaid. The total amount due, including back taxes and penalties, was10,787,900 yuan... The case was referred to the public security authorities for investigation.

The boss thought, “If I don't report it, it'll just blow over,” but it turned out to be more than just a matter of money—he ended up going to jail.

PART

Exporting does not mean complete tax exemption,

These goods are subject to customs duties.

Many sellers in the export business hold a deeply ingrained belief that:Exports are tax-free.

Not entirely correct.Most exported goods do indeed qualify for tax rebates or tax exemptions, but there is one exception—“The Two Highs and One Capital”Goods."

📌Steel, certain chemical products, metallurgical-grade silicon, magnesium ingots, granite, and other items are all subject to export taxes.

This Xiamen-based company exports galvanized steel sheets and steel pipes, which happen to fall under the category of “high-energy-consumption, high-emission, and resource-intensive” goods subject to taxation.

PART

“Failure to file a tax return after being notified to do so” = tax evasion

Article 63 of the *Tax Collection and Administration Law* states very clearly:Tax evasion occurs when a taxpayer, after being notified by the tax authorities to file a tax return, refuses to do so and fails to pay or underpay the taxes due.

📌What are the consequences of tax evasion?

Unpaid or underpaid taxes must be collected, along with late payment penalties; fines ranging from 0.5 to 5 times the amount owed may be imposed, and criminal liability may be pursued if the act constitutes a crime.

“Failing to file a return despite being notified to do so” and “voluntarily filing a late return” are entirely different in nature!

PART

Voluntary Tax Payment vs. Being Audited,

How much is the difference?

PART

Three Steps to Keep Risks at Bay

✅First, organize the HS codes.

List the HS codes for all exported products and verify each one to determine whether it falls under the “high-energy consumption, high-pollution, and resource-intensive” categories or other taxable categories.

✅Second, for goods that have been exported but not declared, voluntarily file a supplementary declaration.

If you have exported taxable goods in the past but failed to declare them, there is still room for leniency if you voluntarily file a retroactive declaration. “Voluntary correction” and “refusal to declare” are legally distinct; the former may result in a reduced penalty, while the latter is directly classified as tax evasion.

✅Third, consult a professional organization before exporting.

If you're unsure whether your product is subject to duties, or if you want to confirm its product category and how duties are calculated, just consult us before exporting. It won't cost you much, but it could save you millions in fines.

LAST

put at the end

⚠️Not all exports are duty-free.

Taxes are levied on exports of steel, chemical products, and metal products.

Check the HS code first; don't rely on your experience.

⚠️If you receive a notice from the tax office, don't put it off.

“Voluntary retroactive filing” and “refusal to file” are two different things.

In the former case, the individual may only be required to pay back taxes; in the latter, the act is directly classified as tax evasion, resulting in double the fine and referral to public security authorities.

⚠️Small-scale taxpayers are not eligible for exemptions.

The size of the entity does not affect the reporting obligation.
