Chongqing departure tax refund: preserve the paperwork and goods
The refund path runs through the store, Customs and the departure-port agency.
Chongqing’s municipal government explains that a departing passenger tax refund requires the tax refund application form, sales invoice, refundable goods and valid identification for Customs verification, then the tax refund agency in the restricted departure area. Eligibility, designated ports, service charges and timing are policy conditions that must be checked in the current official source.
A clear next step
- At the qualifying store, keep the application form and sales invoice with the goods.
- At departure, present the goods, documents and valid ID for Customs verification.
- After Customs stamps the form, use the departure-port tax refund agency in the restricted area.
