海關進口稅則解釋準則
GENERAL RULES FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE CUSTOMS
IMPORT TARIFF
|
|
海關進口稅則貨品之分類應依下列原則辦理：
|
Classification of goods in the nomenclature
shall be governed by the following principles:
|
|
一、類、章及分章之標題，僅為便於查考而設；其分類之核定，應依照稅則號別所列之名稱及有關類或章註為之，此等稅則號別或註內未另行規定者，依照後列各準則規定辦理。
|
1.The titles of Sections, Chapters and sub-Chapters are
provided for ease of reference only; for legal purposes,
classification shall be determined according to the
terms of the headings and any relative Section or
Chapter Notes and, provided such headings or notes do
not otherwise require, according to the following
provisions.
|
|
二、(甲) 稅則號別中所列之任何一種貨品，應包括該項貨品之不完整或未完成者在內，惟此類不完整或未完成之貨品，進口時需已具有完整或完成貨品之主要特性。該稅則號別亦應包括該完整或完成之貨品（或由於本準則而被列為完整或完成者），而於進口時未組合或經拆散者。
(乙) 稅則號別中所列之任何材料或物質，應包括是項材料或物質與其他材料或物質之混合物或合成物在內。其所稱以某種材料或物質構成之貨品，則應包括由全部或部分是項材料或物質構成者在內。凡貨品由超過一種以上之材料或物質構成者，其分類應依照準則三各款原則辦理。
|
2.- (a)Any reference in a heading to an article shall be
taken to include a reference to that article incomplete
or unfinished, provided that, as presented, the
incomplete or unfinished article has the essential
character of the complete or finished article. It shall
also be taken to include a reference to that article
complete or finished (or falling to be classified as
complete or finished by virtue of this Rule), presented
unassembled or disassembled.
(b) Any reference in a heading to a material or substance
shall be taken to include a reference to mixtures or
combinations of that material or substance with other
materials or substances. Any reference to goods of a
given material or substance shall be taken to include
a reference to goods consisting wholly or partly of
such material or substance. The classification of
goods consisting of more than one material or
substance shall be according to the principles of
Rule 3.
|
|
三、貨品因適用準則二(乙)或因其他原因而表面上可歸列於兩個以上之稅則號別時，其分類應依照下列規定辦理：
(甲)稅則號別所列之貨品名稱說明較具體明確者，應較一般性說明者為優先適用。當兩個以上之稅則號別，而每個稅則號別僅述及混合物或組合物所含材料或物質之一部分，或各僅述及供零售之成套貨物所含部分貨品，則前述之各稅則號別對該等貨品可認為係具有同等之具體明確性，縱使其中之一稅則號別較他稅則號別所載者更為完備或精確。
(乙) 混合物、由不同材料或組件組成之組合物或零售之成套之貨物，其不能依準則三(甲)歸類者，在本準則可適用之範圍內，應按照實質上構成該項貨品主要特徵所用之材料或組件分類。
(丙)當貨品不能依準則三(甲)或三(乙)分類時，應歸入可予考慮之稅則號別中，擇其稅則號別位列最後者為準。
|
3. When by application of Rule 2 (b) or for any other
reason, goods are, prima facie, classifiable under
two or more headings, classification shall be
effected as follows:
(a) The heading which provides the most specific
description shall be preferred to headings providing
a more general description. However, when two or
more headings each refer to part only of the
materials or substances contained in mixed or
composite goods or to part only of the items in a
set put up for retail sale , those headings are to
be regarded as equally specific in relation to those
goods, even if one of them gives a more complete or
precise description of the goods.
(b) Mixtures, composite goods consisting of
different materials or made up of different
components, and goods put up in sets for retail sale,
which cannot be classified by reference to 3 (a),
shall be classified as if they consisted of the
material or component which gives them their
essential character, insofar as this criterion is
applicable.
(c)When goods cannot be classified by reference to 3 (a)
or 3 (b), they shall be classified under the heading
which occurs last in numerical order among those
which equally merit consideration.
|
|
四、貨品未能依前述準則列入任何稅則號別者，應適用其性質最類似之貨品所屬之稅則號別。
|
4. Goods which cannot be classified in
accordance with the above Rules shall be classified
under the heading appropriate to the goods to which
they are most akin.
|
|
五、除前述各準則外，下列規定應適用於各所規範之物品：
（甲）照相機盒、樂器盒、槍盒、製圖工具盒、項鍊盒及類似容器，具特殊形狀或適於容納特定或成套之物品，適於長期使用並與所裝物品同時進口者，如其於正常情況下係與所裝物品同時出售，則應與該物品歸列同一稅則號別，惟此規定不適用其本身已構成整件貨品主要特質之容器。
（乙）基於準則五（甲）之規定，包裝材料與包裝容器與所包裝之物品同時進口者，如其於正常情況下係用以包裝該物品，則應與所包裝之物品歸列同一稅則號別，惟此項規定不適用於顯然可重複使用之包裝材料或包裝容器。
|
5. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the following
rules shall apply in respect of the goods referred to
therein :
(a)Camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases,
drawing instrument cases, necklace cases and similar
containers, specially shaped or fitted to contain a
specific article or set of articles, suitable for
long-term use and presented with the articles for which
they are intended, shall be classified with such
articles when of a kind normally sold therewith. this
rule does not, however, apply to containers which
give the whole its essential character.
(b)Subject to the provisions of Rule 5 (a) above, packing
materials and packing containers presented with the
goods therein shall be classified with the goods if
they are of a kind normally used for packing such
goods. however, this provision is not binding when
such packing materials or packing containers are
clearly suitable for repetitive use.
|
|
六、基於合法之目的，某一稅則號別之目下物品之分類應依照該目及相關目註之規定，惟該等規定之適用僅止於相同層次目之比較。為本準則之適用，除非另有規定，相關類及章之註釋亦可引用。
|
6.For legal purposes, the classification of goods in the
subheadings of a heading shall be determined according
to the terms of those subheadings and any related
Subheading Notes and, mutatis mutandis, to the above
Rules, on the understanding that only subheadings at
the same level are comparable. For the purposes of
this rule the relative Section and Chapter Notes also
apply, unless the context otherwise requires.
