Recently, the first foreign traveler nationwide successfully paid personal postal articles tax using an overseas bank card (referred to as "foreign card") at Gongbei Customs under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Customs.

最近，全国首位外籍旅客在香港-珠海-澳门大桥海关管辖的拱北海关成功使用海外银行卡（以下简称"外卡"）支付个人邮件物品税。

Mr. L (LO DO NASCIMENTO), a foreign traveler, completed the personal postal articles tax payment process upon entry at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Customs. The customs officer entered the required duty amount of 150 RMB into the POS machine, and Mr. L used his overseas bank card to directly swipe and complete the payment of the customs duty. Upon receipt of the duty payment transferred by the collecting bank, the national treasury processed the deposit according to relevant regulations. This marks the first implementation of the "Overseas Bank Card + Travel Inspection Personal Postal Articles Tax Payment" scenario at ports nationwide. "I didn't need to exchange RMB or bind WeChat. I could just use this bank card I frequently use overseas to pay the customs duty, which is really convenient," Mr. L said.

外籍旅客L先生（LO DO NASCIMENTO）在香港-珠海-澳门大桥海关入境时完成了个人邮件物品税的支付流程。海关工作人员将所需缴纳的150元人民币税款金额输入到POS机中，L先生直接使用其海外银行卡刷卡完成海关税费的支付。国库收到代收银行转来的税款后，根据相关规定办理了入库。这标志着"海外银行卡+旅检个人邮件物品税支付"场景在全国口岸的首次实施。"我不需要兑换人民币或绑定微信，只需使用我经常在海外使用的这张银行卡支付海关税费，非常方便，"L先生说。

"Next, we will work actively and prudently with relevant departments such as banks to promote the payment of customs duty with overseas bank cards, continuously improving cross-border clearance efficiency," said Yang Qiuyi, Deputy Director of the Finance Department at Gongbei Customs.

"接下来，我们将积极稳妥地与银行等相关部门合作，推广使用海外银行卡支付海关税费，不断提高跨境通关效率，"拱北海关财务部副主任杨秋义表示。
