Well, maybe you should learn some basic reading skills. I wrote traders and scammers. I did not write scamming traders. They are mutually exclusive, there are traders, there are scammers and 10% of those advertising on Alibaba MAY be legitimate factories. So, let's become a little more specific, 10% are true manufacturers, let's say 50 to even 60% are honest traders of one sort or another - middlemen between the factory and the buyer outside the country - and then there are the out and out crook[收起]
CR number是Customs Registration Number 的简称,指进出口货物发货人在海关理的登记编号。 海关规定“All shipments should he an Importer/Exporter Customs Registration Number". 这个是进出口公司要到海关去的。
并不是HS Code. HS Code 是The Harmonization System Code (HS-Code)的简称。是对各种不同产品出入境应征/应退关税税率进行量化管理的制度。各国海关、商品出入境管理机构确认商品类别、进行商品分类管理、审核关税标准、检验商品品质指标的基本要素就是进出口商品通用的明。
简而言之,CR Number 是针对进出口公司而言;而HS CODE 是针对进出口货物而言。[收起]
