CIRCULAR OF THE GENERAL OFFICE OF THE STATE COUNCIL ON ADJUSTMENT OF THE PROVISIONS CONCERNING PERSONNEL SENT ABROAD ON OFFICIAL DUTY

    The Circular is hereby issued concerning the decision of the State Council
to carry out adjustment of the provisions concerning personnel who are sent
abroad on official duty, in order to strengthen the control of imported
articles whose importation is under restriction by the state, to check the
indiscriminate sending of personnel and groups abroad, and to promote the
development of an honest and incorruptible atmosphere among government
functionaries.

    1. The existing provision shall be abolished which permits personnel to be
sent abroad on official duty to exchange a small amount of Renminbi (RMB) for
free foreign currencies.

    2. The existing provision shall be abolished which permits personnel sent
abroad on official duty, to bring, every three months, into the country from
abroad duty-free a total of two articles, one selected from Category 4 and the
other from Category 5 in "A Table of Restricted Quantities for Articles to be
Carried into the Country by the Personnel Going Abroad", as promulgated by the
Customs; the amended provisions now stipulates that those who have been abroad
for full six months (i.e. 180 days) shall be permitted to bring into the
country duty-free a total of two articles, one from Category 4 and the other
from Category 5, but the highest number of years prescribed for this
preferential treatment shall not be exceeded.

    3. Beginning from September 10, 1989, all personnel sent abroad on
official duty shall have to act strictly on the amended provisions as
afore-mentioned in this Circular.

    Corresponding administrative procedures shall be formulated by the
Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs and the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange Control.
