Development.
China Customs has a long history. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were records in ancient books about "levying customs and merging cities". Qin and Han dynasties entered a unified feudal society and developed foreign trade. In the sixth year of Ding Yuan in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 1 165438), Hepu and other places set up customs.
During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, urban shipping companies were established in Guangzhou and Quanzhou. After the Qing government announced the opening of the maritime ban, it was named "Customs" for the first time in the 23rd to 24th year of Kangxi (1684- 1685), and four customs offices were established in Guangdong (Guangzhou), Fujian (Fuzhou), Zhejiang (Ningbo) and Jiangsu (Shanghai).
1840 After the Opium War, China gradually lost its tariff autonomy, customs management and tax revenue and expenditure custody, and the customs became a semi-colonial customs, which was controlled by imperialist countries such as Britain, the United States, France and so on for a long time and became an important tool for western powers to plunder the people of China.
Until 1949, when People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, the people's government took over the customs, which declared the end of the history of semi-colonial customs controlled by imperialism and marked the birth of socialist customs. People's Republic of China (PRC) has thoroughly reformed the original customs organization and business, experienced a tortuous development process and gradually improved the customs organization system.
