Het proces om luxegoederen in China in te voeren te verdelen en te verkopen heft verdere uitdagingen voor bedrijven, met inbegrip van een aantal moeilijke vragen betreffende belastingsbehandeling, douanerechten, logistiek en de overdracht van intellectuele eigendom op.

De douanerechten, de de invoerBTW en de consumptiebelasting kunnen allen op luxegoederen worden aangerekend die in China worden ingevoerd. De capaciteit van merken om hun goederen bij dramatische premies omhoog te merken kan ook moeilijk blijken om aan belastingautoriteiten te verklaren wanneer de tijd komt om inkomstenbelastingswinst in te dienen.

Sourcing van China heeft van een ongecompliceerde, kosten-gedreven benadering van gedetailleerdere en strategische verscheidenheden geëvolueerdf. Terwijl de recente productrappels schenen om de geen Chinese uitvoer beïnvloed te hebben die op algemene cijfers wordt gebaseerd, nochtans zijn wij over het anecdotische bewijsmateriaal voorstellen anders gekomen.

Ongetwijfeld werd de aanvankelijke sourcing rente teweeggebracht door de bekende lage direct (zoals die voor arbeid als land of huur) en indirecte kosten van China, zowel (teruggegeven onder een horde aansporingen van de overheidsuitvoer, zoals gesubsidi�ërde brandstofkosten, de terugbetalingen van de de uitvoerBTW, niet-belasting en/of belastingsvermindering).
