近年来，海关推出了通关一体化等一系列改革措施，进一步便利了企业进出口通关，但同时又加强了事后的监管，加大了对企业违法违规行为的稽查调查和处罚力度。海关法律风险具有很强的专业性和特殊性，一旦出现不合规，企业可能直接面对缉私警察的调查，轻则被科以处罚，重则可能被刑事追责。

中国海关在2022年下半年与2023年初，加强了对于企业跨境供应链所涉及的进出口申报的事后监管，包括海关核查、稽查和缉私调查。海关加强对于跨境供应链的监管，对于海关与贸易合规内控薄弱的在华企业，意味着多年所累计的海关法律责任风险将很可能被引爆，从而导致巨额补税、罚款甚至刑事追责的后果。目前仍有很多进出口企业对关务法律风险认知不足，或者即使认识到风险也缺乏合规解决风险和合规管理的经验。

鉴于以上形势，德国商会和北京环球律师事务所合作，特邀请环球海关与贸易合规团队合伙人周和敏律师，为在华经营的德国商会会员提供“企业在华经营的海关行政和刑事法律风险”的线下研讨会，本次研讨会将聚焦海关和进出口贸易合规话题，以实战的经验和案例，为与会者梳理进出口常见的海关法律风险，总结企业的经验教训，提出相应的实务合规建议。

欢迎德国商会会员企业的法务及贸易合规人员来参与！

In recent years, China Customs has introduced a series of reform measures such as automated clearance reform, which further facilitates import and export clearance for enterprises, but at the same time it has also strengthened post-monitoring and increased the intensity of inspection, investigation, and punishment for laws and regulations violations. Customs-related legal risks are highly professional and specific. In the event of non-compliance, enterprises may directly face the ASB investigation, and may be subject to penalties in minor cases or criminal prosecution in serious cases.

In the second half of 2022 and early 2023, Chinese Customs has strengthened its post-monitoring of import and export declarations involved in enterprises' cross-border supply chains. For enterprises operating in China with weak internal controls on customs and trade compliance, it means that the risk of customs liability accumulated over the years will likely be discovered, which may lead to significant back taxes, fines, or even criminal prosecution. As of today, there are still many import and export enterprises that have not been sufficiently aware of customs-related legal risks or lack experience in compliance management even if they have already recognized the risks.

In view of the above situation, we cooperate with Global Law Office and invite Hemin Zhou, a partner of the Global Customs and Trade Compliance Team, to provide an offline workshop on "Customs related administrative and criminal liability risks?" for German Chamber members. This workshop will focus on the topic of customs and import and export trade compliance, with practical examples and  case studies, to help participants navigate common customs legal risks of import and export activities.

Warmly welcome the German Chamber member companies' legal and compliance expert to join this event!
