A MotionPoint executive recently shared his company\u2019s perspective on a new Chinese tax system with The Wall Street Journal\u2019s<\/i> \u201cLogistics Report.\u201d<\/p>\n

E-retailers specializing in cross-border e-commerce\u2014and their Chinese customers\u2014may soon feel a tax pinch, thanks to an increase in the \u201cparcel tax\u201d foreign goods receive when shipped from overseas e-commerce retailers, the story reported.<\/p>\n

This increase, and other stipulations (such as overseas goods shipped directly to Chinese consumers will now be subject to tariffs and additional taxes), will go into effect next Friday, April 8.<\/p>\n

While the moves are intended to help bring parity between prices on domestic and foreign products, it\u2019s clear it will reduce some demand for overseas e-commerce, MotionPoint\u2019s Charles Whiteman told the Journal<\/i>.<\/p>\n

But that lowered demand may be modest, especially for high-profile Western products, MotionPoint\u2019s SVP of Client Services explained.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Chinese consumers have long preferred to pay more for Western products such as infant formula and baby products\u2014a phenomenon we reported on last November (and believe will increase in the years ahead).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
