Chinese men protest customs duty on cellphones — by lying on floor at Islamabad airport
168
Two Chinese passengers on Friday found a unique way to register their protest against the customs duty they were made to pay for bringing in several cellphones: lying on the floor at the Islamabad International Airport.
The episode, which made for an interesting spectacle, took place after the two Chinese men – Lian Zhehfu and Lei Zhentao — landed in Islamabad from Urumqi via China Southern Airlines flight CZ6007.
After exiting the aircraft, the two men were stopped at a customs counter. Because they were carrying six cellphones, they were made to pay $285 in duties and taxes on four of the handsets.
As per the 'mobile tax policy' announced by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf government, foreign visitors and travellers returning to Pakistan can bring in one handset duty-free; for any additional devices, they must pay the applicable taxes to avail service in the country beyond 30 days.
See: The how-to of registering mobile devices for people returning to (or visiting) Pakistan
But after paying the amount, the two Chinese passengers lay on the exit gate of the international arrival lounge to protest the duty they were charged. They took the stance that because they travel to Pakistan several times a year, they should not have to pay the duty each time they bring in more than one cellphone.
The pair ended their protest only after Airport Security Force personnel informed them that their concerns would be forwarded to the relevant ministry.

Go protest the law in your own country. Respect our laws as long as you are here. There can be no reasonable excuse for carrying 6 cell phones other than to sell them or gift them. If you wish to do so on our land, pay the damn taxes.

Phones are in demand and relatively high value products and people bringing multiple phones into the country usually means they are selling them or gifting them, either way there is a financial benefit generated, which should be taxed. Its a good way to generate income for the country. Every country has their own tariffs and taxation regimes by which they generate income.

Chinese should pay duty only one time on a product, not every time they bring the same product, in this case mobiles. If they produce legal duty paid certificate once, they should not be charged duty again.

well a peaceful protest should be a right. They did what they did. Now i think it should be two phones per person, the tax or duty should be imposed on the third one. Usually there is a personal and a work phone so it is wise to do that.

@Hu Zhi Yuan Dr, not true Doctor yuan zi hu sir. The laws in China are most people friendly and only treason carries death. Chin death penalty is less than South Asia combined.

They do have a point, why are they paying duty multiple time on the same item? register the IMEI number pay the duty and he/she should be done.

They forget the punishment in China for not paying taxes,
And why do they need 6 Cell phones anyway. It is either to sell or bribe.

All foreigners NEED to carry at least two phone: one with local SIM card and the other for making calls to to your home country, in this case China. ... And still, Pakistan boasts to make $20 billion from foreign tourists. How?

Attitude of the Chinese government is reflected here in this act of the visiting Chinese. They want permission to do anything here and want exemptions from Tax also. Why anyone on this planet want six cell phones for personal use ? Two cell phones are allowed anyway without duties.

Put them in detention for 15 days and penalty of huge amount after that deport them. Must need to change visa policy for these type of childish people.
