The branches or the foreign exchange administrative departments of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (hereafter referred
to as the SAFE) of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the SAFEs branches
of Shenzhen, Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Ningbo:

For the purpose of further improving the administration on verification and cancellation of the payments of foreign exchange for imports,

clarified as follows:

The balance verification and cancellation management of the examination on the verification and cancellation of the payment balances
of foreign exchange for imports, as effective measures for supplementing the existing provisions of the administration on verification
and cancellation of imports, aims at solving the problem that the formalities for handling the verification and cancellation of payments
of foreign exchange for imports can not be gone through because of the difference between the amount of an importers payment of
foreign exchange for imports and the delivered price due to any objective factor, which may further promote trade facilitation and
lighten the burden of work of both importers and foreign exchange bureaus. All the SAFEs branches and sub-branches (hereinafter
referred to as the foreign exchange bureaus) shall make publicity and explanation to importers and insure smooth implementation
of the Measures.

When going through the investigation procedures of verification of the payment balances in foreign exchange for imports for importers,
the foreign exchange bureaus shall carefully verify the materials relating to the verification of balances and keep record thereof.

Every foreign exchange bureau shall, in the light of its respective regional conditions, establish an internal control system of level-by-level
authorization of balance verification.

The Measures shall go into effect as of February 1, 2005, before which, the SAFE shall modify and upgrade the computer system for

Article 1

For the purpose of further improving the administration on verification and cancellation of the payments of foreign exchange for imports,
regulating the operation of verification and cancellation of the payment balances of foreign exchange for imports and enhancing the
efficiency of the administration on verification and cancellation of the payments of foreign exchange for imports, these Measures
are formulated according to the Interim Measures for the Supervision and Administration on the Verification and Cancellation of Payments

The verification and cancellation of balances may be either a balance due to more delivered goods or a balance due to less delivered
goods. When the amount of the actually delivered goods is more than that of the payment of foreign exchange reported for verification,
there is a balance due to more delivered goods; when the price of the actually delivered goods is less than the amount of the payment
of foreign exchange reported for verification, there is a balance due to less delivered goods.

a balance at the last submission for examination when the contract is completely fulfilled.

balance directly on the strength of the importers statement on the balance, import contract and other verification-related documents.

Article 5

In case a balance to be verified and cancelled, under a single contract, is more than the equivalent of 5,000 US dollars and 2% of
the contract price, the importer shall apply for the verification and cancellation of the balance by providing other relevant materials
