Process for Overseas Students to Purchase Vehicles with Tax Exemption Policy

[ORhett]

Below is the detailed process for overseas students to purchase vehicles under the tax exemption policy: 1. Overseas students who wish to handle the tax exemption procedures for purchasing domestically manufactured vehicles must first confirm the brand, model, and purchase location of the vehicle. Then, they must apply at the local customs office by filling out the "Application Form for Personal Use Items" in quadruplicate, sign it, and submit it to customs for registration and filing. At the same time, they must present the aforementioned documents and supporting documents to customs. The customs-stamped entry declaration documents will specify the corresponding tax-free limit and the foreign exchange quota brought in from abroad by the applicant, which is valid for six months. 2. Applicants approved by customs to purchase vehicles should hold the third and fourth copies of the "Purchase Permit" issued by customs and the fourth copy of the "Application Form" in a customs-sealed envelope, and proceed directly to the vehicle manufacturer to purchase the vehicle. The applicant should proactively submit the customs-sealed envelope to the manufacturer's sales department for local customs inspection. After completing the purchase procedures, the applicant should retrieve the customs-stamped "Purchase Permit" and the fourth copy of the "Application Form" and keep them safely. 3. Those approved by customs to purchase tax-free domestically manufactured vehicles must proactively submit their vehicles to the customs office where they are registered for annual review during the first quarter of each year. During the annual review, the vehicle owner must carry valid personal identification documents, including the customs-stamped "Purchase Permit," the fourth copy of the "Application Form," and other required documents and files, as well as the vehicle registered with customs. Each annual review record should be signed by the vehicle owner and the customs officer handling the review.
