A seller in Shenzhen who deals in 3C products received a red alert during this year’s tax audit: the total annual order value reported by the platform exceeded his book income by several million yuan. He had always kept his books based on ”net receipts,” believing that any funds not withdrawn did not count as income. It wasn’t until the system performed an automatic comparison that he realized this long-standing practice would no longer work at all in 2026.

Mr. Wang, who runs a business on Meike Duo’s Mexico site, noticed something strange after July 20, 2026: for every 100 pesos he sold, the platform automatically deducted 36 pesos. His net profit margin was already only 15% to 20%, and with this deduction, he was losing money on every order. The problem stemmed from a tax ID—the RFC—that he had never paid much attention to before.

On May 22, 2026, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and seven other government agencies jointly issued a document that completely rewrote the rules governing mainland residents’ trading of Hong Kong and U.S. stocks. This “Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Crackdown on Illegal Cross-Border Securities, Futures, and Fund Operations” led to the initiation of investigations into three overseas brokerage firms—Futuhui, Tiger Brokers, and Changqiao—which were collectively fined more than 2 billion yuan.

Last week, Mr. Wang, who runs a German-focused online store in Shenzhen, was still feeling confident: his store’s annual sales were in the millions of euros, and he’d already obtained his LUCID registration number—so he thought he was in the clear. But when he checked, he found that his number was registered under the old Packaging Act (VerpackG) system in 2024, and the rules will change completely after August 12, 2026.
