China changed the tax rules on online retail goods from April 8 to level the playing field for e-commerce platforms and traditional retailers and importers. Retail goods purchased online will no longer be classified as "parcels," which enjoy a "parcel tax" rate, lower than that on other imported goods. Instead, online purchases from overseas will be charged in the same way as any other imported goods. (Photo: Xinhua/Wang Xiao)
