近日，国家有关部门宣布，自2015年6月1日起，降低部分消费品进口关税税率，平均降幅超过50%。
降低部分消费品进口关税税率，看似是有损经济利益，其实却是实实在在促进内需的明智之举，更是在实践中得出的社会共识。
中国旅游研究院统计数据显示，我国出境游近年来呈现大幅度增长的趋势，境外人均花费2万元人民币，用于购物的比重约占58%。中国人海外扫货导致的“肥水”外流，使我国年度出入境旅游贸易逆差突破1000亿美元，这不仅不利于提振内需、扩大消费，而且不利于经济结构转型升级。
中国人热衷海外扫货的原因比较复杂，我国消费市场环境不健全是一个重要因素，品牌建设不足、假冒伪劣产品时有出现等，严重影响了人们的消费热情。而更直接的原因则是，我国中高档商品进口关税偏高，国内免税购物发展水平落后。研究显示，如果将消费品进口关税下调10个百分点，用于海外扫货的资金可回流3000亿元人民币。同时，降低关税吸引更多海外品牌进驻中国，形成倒逼机制，也可促使国内企业进一步转变经营方式、调整产品结构。
可以看出，我国在降低关税方面下了很大的决心。目前，经济下行压力较大，拉内需、促消费是经济增长和结构调整过程中至关重要的一环。（中国进出口网）
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.
