近日，國家有關部門宣布，自2015年6月1日起，降低部分消費品進口關稅稅率，平均降幅超過50%。

降低部分消費品進口關稅稅率，看似是有損經濟利益，其實卻是實實在在促進內需的明智之舉，更是在實踐中得出的社會共識。

中國旅游研究院統計數據顯示，我國出境游近年來呈現大幅度增長的趨勢，境外人均花費2萬元人民幣，用于購物的比重約占58%。中國人海外掃貨導致的“肥水”外流，使我國年度出入境旅游貿易逆差突破1000億美元，這不僅不利于提振內需、擴大消費，而且不利于經濟結構轉型升級。

中國人熱衷海外掃貨的原因比較復雜，我國消費市場環境不健全是一個重要因素，品牌建設不足、假冒偽劣產品時有出現等，嚴重影響了人們的消費熱情。而更直接的原因則是，我國中高檔商品進口關稅偏高，國內免稅購物發展水平落后。研究顯示，如果將消費品進口關稅下調10個百分點，用于海外掃貨的資金可回流3000億元人民幣。同時，降低關稅吸引更多海外品牌進駐中國，形成倒逼機制，也可促使國內企業進一步轉變經營方式、調整產品結構。

可以看出，我國在降低關稅方面下了很大的決心。目前，經濟下行壓力較大，拉內需、促消費是經濟增長和結構調整過程中至關重要的一環。（中國進出口網）

Recently, the state authorities announced that from June 1, 2015, some consumer goods import tariffs would be reduced by more than 50% on average.

To reduce some consumer goods import tariff rates, it appears to be detrimental to the economic interests, but it is actually wise to promote domestic demand, but also a social consensus obtained in practice.

China Tourism Research Institute statistics show that China's outbound tourism trends in recent years show a substantial increase, overseas spending 20,000 yuan per capita, the proportion for shopping about 58%. Chinese people overseas shopping led to the capital outflow, so that our annual inbound and outbound tourism trade deficit exceeded 100 billion US dollars, which is not conducive to boost domestic demand and expand consumption, but not conducive to economic restructuring and upgrading.

Chinese people are keen to sweep goods overseas, which is a result of many complex reasons, unsound consumer market is an important factor, lack of brand building and counterfeit products seriously affect people's consumption enthusiasm. The more immediate reason is the high import tariffs on luxury goods and the undeveloped duty-free shopping level. Studies have shown that if the consumer goods import tariffs decrease by 10 percent, funding for overseas shopping will be returning 300 billion yuan. At the same time, the reduction of tariffs can attract more foreign brands into China, and can also promote domestic enterprises to further change the mode of operation and adjust the product structure.

It can be seen China is determined to reduce the tariff. At present, the economic is under downturn pressure, boosting domestic demand and promoting consumption is the key to economic growth and structural adjustment.
