After the distribution of the Circular on Printing and Distributing the Interim Measures for the Administration of Stalling Xinjing
Cotton in Customs Warehouses for Processing Trade (JiJingMao [1999] No. 352) and the Circular of the General Administration of Customs
on Distributing the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Warehouses for Stalling Xinjiang Cotton for Processing Trade and
of the Wares Thereof (ShuShui [1999] No.238), some customs bureaus have reported to the General Administration of Customs for instructions
on whether supervision fee should be levied on Xinjiang cotton which is stalled in customs warehouses for processing trade (hereinafter
referred to as Xinjiang Cotton). Taking into consideration that the objective of the Xinjiang Cotton policy is to solve the overstock
problem of Xinjiang Cotton, to lighten enterprises’ burden, to encourage domestic enterprises to use Xinjiang cotton for the export
processing trade, and to maintain and increase the market share of China’s textiles and clothing exports, the General Administration
of Customs decided, after careful study, to exempt both the Xinjiang Cotton stalled in customs warehouses and the Xinjiang Cotton
imported by enterprises of processing trade from these warehouses from customs supervision fee.
Please act upon accordingly, and contact the Department of Tariff of the General Administration of Customs for any problems that occur
during the implementation.
