Why do Chinese tourists shopping in South Korea have to queue up to pay fines after returning home?

In recent years, my country's economic level has continued to rise. While our country's economy is developing steadily and rapidly, it has not only brought high-quality living standards to our people, but also enhanced our country's international status. Therefore, traveling abroad for shopping has become the norm for most people.

Because the THAAD incident aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Chinese people, China also took measures, that is, the ban on South Korea. But as time goes by, people gradually forget about this matter, and traveling and shopping in South Korea continues to become more popular. Many Korean cosmetics are very famous in China. In addition, many of them are duty-free products, causing Korean duty-free shops to be overcrowded with Chinese tourists. So how should people who cannot go abroad buy Korean products? At this time, the purchasing agent industry was born. After they purchase large quantities of goods in South Korea, they return to China and sell them to Chinese people at high prices. Nowadays, domestic inspections on purchasing agents are very strict, so they are fined tens of thousands of yuan when passing through customs, and basically all the costs are lost.

When tourists shop for goods in South Korea, they usually have the mentality of taking advantage of them. When they shop in South Korea, they buy products crazily. In this way, using Chinese money to boost South Korea's GDP is something that many netizens do not recognize and are resistant to. When their shopping exceeds the national regulations, customs will impose penalties, which can also suppress the psychology of going shopping in South Korea.

Many netizens think that such a policy is very relieving. Even if some people did not accept it at the time, it is a national policy and there is nothing they can do if they do not accept it. This can only be done according to national regulations. After all, what they bought was too much. If the country does not impose such a policy, then Chinese people will continue to contribute to the rise of foreign economies, but instead inhibit the development of China's economy.
