Huaqiang North parallel market, Shenzhen intends to push the new deal to curb the sale of parallel imports.

Our reporter Xu Zhiqiang reports from Shenzhen

Because a straight through Hongkong, Shenzhen Yantian District, Sha Tau Kok eighteen residential 106 Housing recently reputation.

In September 14th, the Shenzhen Customs announced that the customs enforcement department seized a rare "underground" smuggling case in August 25th at the above scene, and seized 120 thousand pieces of IC chips suspected to be smuggled, 338 Motorola mobile phones and 465 NOKIA mobile phones.

What's striking is a smuggling passage connecting Hongkong in the southwest corner of the room - a hole under more than 60 centimeters square, and a dark tunnel extending 20 meters across the Shenzhen Hong Kong border line, and "rendezvous" with Hongkong's "seabed" sewer system.

"Shipping time is usually only two or three minutes, but it can deliver 1 million 600 thousand to 2 million yuan worth of smuggled electronic products."

Xiao Xiao, director of the Shenzhen customs anti smuggling Bureau, said.

This is obviously not the smuggling of electronic products, but under the effect of "Butterfly Effect", the sensitive parallel market has responded quickly.

When people were surprised by smugglers' painstaking efforts to smuggle tunnels, Mr. Wang felt the power of the incident.

Last month, he met a parallel phone, recently bought to Huaqiang North, but was told that the price rose nearly 100 yuan.

"Businessmen say that supply is tight, which is probably the reason why they had been closed down for some time."

Mr. Wang said.

According to reporters in Shenzhen Huaqiang North electronic professional market to understand, the most popular Samsung D848 parallel machine, a month ago can buy 2500 yuan, the current price is strong, many merchants have opened to 2600 yuan.

Huaqiang North is the largest centralized mobile phone company in China, with an annual sales volume of about 25000000000 yuan, more than 20 thousand merchants and more than 80 thousand employees.

Due to the fact that Hongkong is close to smuggling source, its mix of birds and birds is very different. To a large extent, it has become a barometer of the domestic parallel market.

"There has been a slight rise in prices recently, but a real influence can not be this big."

In a distant city of Huaqiang North, a smuggler of the digital city seems to think that the smuggling of tunnels is just a matter of beating around the bush.

He and most of the distributors are from specialized companies, the company bosses in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, "roads are very familiar", but the exposure of the tunnel, so that customs inspection efforts strengthened, temporarily affecting the company's purchase speed.

This statement was confirmed by Cheng Yimu, executive vice president and Secretary General of Shenzhen Electronic Commerce Association.

He said that digging tunnels is really only a case. The real smugglers are bought through the form of a company, and the quantity is relatively large.

In addition, some people will first arrive in Huizhou, Shantou and other surrounding areas, and then pfer to Shenzhen.

"The ups and downs of parallel prices may be the hoarding of some big wholesalers, and the price of them is also common."

A booth owner in the Huaqiang North Communications Market fiddled with the latest mobile phone in his hands and told reporters that "I have seen the news in real time, but we are all from regular wholesalers to Hongkong, and have never been worried about being sealed up."

In fact, in a number of big electronic markets such as far seeing Digital City, communication market and so on, we can basically grasp the quotations of parallel imports. The regular retail store price tag of nearly 5000 yuan Samsung mobile D908, here only need 2800 yuan to buy the parallel machine, and some stalls can even drop to 2400 yuan.

Although many stall owners sniff at this, "parallel wholesalers are mainly a few, the price is pparent, unless he is a refurbishing machine, otherwise this period of time must not be so low."

In the communications market of Huaqiang North, the price war of parallel imports is coming and going, and there are many refurbishing machines, cloning machines and so on.

Even if consumers buy parallel imports, they need to go through the process of "fake" and "fake".

Of course, this does not prevent owners from hanging up "honest business" and "black mobile phones and parallel imports" at the gates and counters of every market.

"Why not buy parallel imports?

The quality of the company is unified, and the traditional Chinese software is converted into simplified Chinese. The main reason is that the price is cheap, and the high-end function is cheaper than the mainland licensed products. Even if the price increases, the price performance is high. "

In the far market, a keen businessman recommended to reporters.

"The number of parallel imports can not be clearly counted even by the Electronic Chamber of Commerce."

Cheng Yimu told reporters that in the market, who is doing parallel imports itself is difficult to define, and many businesses do not only do regular machines but also do parallel machines.

However, starting from the end of October this year, the situation of public Hawking machines in Huaqiang North will be limited.

According to Cheng Yi Mu, the Shenzhen Electronic Chamber of Commerce will vigorously implement the electronic market qualification standard in Huaqiang North.

Its basis is one of the 5 electronic industry standards approved by the Ministry of information industry in January 17th this year -- "electronic information products trading market qualification specification".

"At the end of October, we will organize the group to evaluate the electronic markets of Huaqiang North, and identify the software environment from the hardware environment such as area, traffic and matching to regulatory system."

Cheng Yimu said.

"This process is similar to the identification of the ISO9000 standard, and there is a set of strict requirements."

Cheng Yimu said that although the electronic commerce chamber can not manage a large number of merchants, but it can indirectly regulate merchants through the management of the market, for example, according to the requirements of the sales staff in the electronic market to establish honest business files, the violation of the provisions of the merchants will be included in the "blacklist", then listed on the list of merchants want to operate parallel goods will be restricted by the above provisions.

Nevertheless, Cheng Yi Mu also admits that the problem of parallel imports of Huaqiang North is not two days a day. If we want to eradicate it, we can not finish it in the short term. As long as there is huge interest, parallel imports will revive.

In fact, Huaqiang North's parallel imports have experienced many strikes and "baptism", but they can "spring wind and grow again".

Especially in last November's seven ministries and commissions of the United States, far away digital city is the top priority of the renovation.

Since then, in the joint operation of various departments in Shenzhen, traders in various markets have signed the "no distribution of liability without legitimate sources and fake commodities", and the market management departments have also sent people to inspect the premises daily, and found that the sale of aquatic products and fake commodities immediately confiscated, and the proliferation of parallel imports was temporarily convergent.

However, half a year later, this is still the world of black mobile phones including parallel imports.

Not far from the brand mobile phone store, the high prices of regular licensed goods stimulate the hot parallel trade in the electronic market.
