藝術品是社會文化的重要組成部分,藝術品貿易對于文化貿易的健康持續發展具有重要影響。在構建文化強國的過程中,擴大藝術品進口對提高我國藝術品市場的國際化水平具有戰略意義。海關信息網數據顯示,近十年我國藝術品進口規模急劇增長,由2004年的0.07億美元增至2013年的7.71億美元,年均增長率69.85%,其中2013年增速更是高達776.56%。

今年1-7月我國藝術品進口3.59億美元,較上年同期增長69.63%,與近十年平均增速基本持平,但顯著低于上年同期248.36%的增速水平。1-7月藝術品進口呈現以下特征:
(一)商品結構變化顯著,繪畫激增、雕塑品驟降
(二)藝術品進口來源高度集中,東盟居首,港臺、大陸和瑞士增勢突出
(三)藝術品進口的區域分布中,上海、湖南打破遼寧一股獨大的局面
(四)海關特殊監管區域為主,加工貿易和一般貿易占比逐步擴大
(五)民營企業為藝術品進口主力

藝術品作為文化產品與其它一般進口商品相比具有一定特殊性,各國對藝術品貿易往往采取了與一般商品不同的貿易政策,與一般商品“鼓勵出口、限制進口”的政策相反,多數國家對部分藝術品采取“鼓勵進口、限制出口”的政策。2012年我國將三類藝術品進口關稅由12%降至6%,推動當年進口規模增長,但與美國、英國、瑞士、香港等藝術品主要進口國的零關稅相比,關稅仍是掣肘我國藝術品進口規模的主要因素。
在國內藝術品需求不斷釋放的情況下,關稅調整或將成為活躍國內藝術品市場,并帶動藝術品金融、藝術品保險、藝術品咨詢、藝術品評估、藝術品物流等新型服務業發展的重要舉措。(中國進出口網整理編譯)

Artwork is an important part of social culture, artwork trade has an important influence on the healthy and sustainable development of cultural trade. In the process of building a culture of powers, the expansion of imports of artwork can improve the level of internationalization of the art market, which has strategic significance. Customs Information Network data shows that artwork imports sharply increase in recent years, from 2004 $7 million increasingly to 2013 $771 million, with an average annual growth rate of 69.85%, in which 2013 growth rate is as high as 776.56% .
From January to July this year, China imported $359 million of artwork, which increased by 69.63% from a year earlier. The data was essentially flat with the average growth rate in recent years, but was significantly lower than the growth rate of 248.36% over the same period last year level. January-July imports of artworks show the following characteristics:
(A) significant changes in the commodity structure, painting surges sculpture dips
(B) The sources of artwork import were highly concentrated, ASEAN topped, Hong Kong and Taiwan, mainland China and Switzerland increased fast.
(C)Shanghai and Hunan were involved in the process of distribution of imports of artworks, before only Liaoning involved.
(D)customs supervision based, processing trade and general trade gradually expanded.
(E) private enterprises as the main import of artworks
Artwork, as a cultural product, is with a certain particularity compared with other general merchandise imports, countries often takes different trade policy for artwork trade, general merchandise policy is "encourage exports and restrict imports," on the contrary, most countries take "encourage imports, limiting exports" policy regarding part of artworks. In 2012 China decreased import tariffs on three types of artworks from 12% to 6%, promoting the growth of imports, but compared with zero tariffs in the United States, Britain, Switzerland, Hong Kong and other major importing countries of works of art, the tariff is still the main factor in constraints of our imported artwork.
In the case of releasing the domestic demand for artworks, tariff adjustments may become an important factor that animates domestic art market and promotes the artwork finance, artwork insurance, artwork consulting, artwork assessment, logistics and other new services development.
