CFA Institute,
According to my investigation on the charges customs about CFA Curriculum, I find that it is UPS' responsibility to
solve the problem. But UPS don't want to take the responsibility.
The truth as follows :
According to China Customs' 161 Regulations (Article 7 Inward printed matter and audio/video products for personal
use which are within the following quantity limit may be admitted duty-free upon inspection by Customs:
(1) no more than 10 copies (or pieces) of books, newspapers and periodical publications issued in separate edition
If the declaration forms of private goods that is for personal use , they can be exempted from tariffs.
But UPS select official declaration that will tariff.
UPS acknowledged that this is their leadership requirements, as well as Shanghai Customs, the provisions of a Chief
Zhang who told UPS that CFA curriculum must be a formal declaration.
But I check the customs regulations and the Shanghai Customs disclose information and found no such provisions.
Obviously, I think this is the responsibility of UPS and the UPS' fault! UPS with Shanghai Customs Chief Chang set
their own rules, resulting in the situation now to be taxed.
At the same time, this approach is with China's customs regulations and laws to the conflict, contrary to law.
Whatever they do seriously damages to the reputation of the CFA Institute.
Please communicate with UPS and solve this problem as soon as possible.
As far as I know, many people have encountered such a situation.
If not resolved quickly, we will need legal help, and UPS filed an appeal. Our books have been delayed for more than 10days.
Thank you ! Please help us to solve this problem.
