- 双 5 万门槛:上一个日历年或税务年度「采购 > 5 万美元」且「销售毛收入 > 5 万美元」才落入 Dealer 定义
- 零售商原则上被排除,除非从「非经销商 / 非零售商」(如公众、境外供货源)采购超过 5 万美元
- 门槛按贵金属、宝石、珠宝本身的价值计算——成品件只算其中金石部分的价值
- 「珍贵金属」的法定门槛是纯度 500‰ 以上;925 银、14K 及以上金都在内,镀金件通常不在
- 落入 Dealer 的,须有书面、经高管批准的反洗钱程序:风险评估 + 合规官 + 培训 + 独立测试
- 另一条独立义务:经营中单笔或关联交易收到 1 万美元以上现金,须于 15 日内申报(Form 8300)
ARE YOU A DEALER? 一、先算门槛:多数跨境卖家不在射程内
这条规则的设计目标是防止贵金属与宝石被用作洗钱载体,门槛设得不低。先看定义:
(a) Covered goods means: (1) Jewels; (2) Precious metals; (3) Precious stones; and (4) Finished goods (including, but not limited to, jewelry, numismatic items, and antiques), that derive 50 percent or more of their value from jewels, precious metals, or precious stones contained in or attached to such finished goods;
(b) Dealer. (1) Except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section, the term "dealer" means a person engaged within the United States as a business in the purchase and sale of covered goods and who, during the prior calendar or tax year: (i) Purchased more than $50,000 in covered goods; and (ii) Received more than $50,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of covered goods.
(2) For purposes of this section, the term "dealer" does not include: (i) A retailer, unless the retailer, during the prior calendar or tax year, purchased more than $50,000 in covered goods from persons other than dealers or other retailers (such as members of the general public or foreign sources of supply); or (ii) A person licensed or authorized under the laws of any State to conduct business as a pawnbroker, but only to the extent such person is engaged in pawn transactions.
(5) For purposes of applying the $50,000 thresholds in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2)(i) of this section to finished goods defined in paragraph (a)(4) of this section, only the value of jewels, precious metals, or precious stones contained in, or attached to, such goods shall be taken into account.
(d) Precious metal means: (1) Gold, iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, or silver, having a level of purity of 500 or more parts per thousand; and (2) An alloy containing 500 or more parts per thousand, in the aggregate, of two or more of the metals listed in paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
(a)受涵盖商品指:(1)珠宝级有机宝石(jewels);(2)贵金属;(3)贵重宝石;以及(4)成品(包括但不限于首饰、钱币收藏品与古董),且其价值的 50% 或以上来自其所含或所附的珠宝级有机宝石、贵金属或贵重宝石。
(b)经销商(Dealer)。(1)除(b)(2)、(b)(3) 另有规定外,「经销商」指在美国境内以受涵盖商品的买卖为业,且在上一个日历年或税务年度:(i)采购受涵盖商品超过 5 万美元;且(ii)自受涵盖商品的销售中取得毛收入超过 5 万美元的人。
(2)就本条而言,「经销商」不包括:(i)零售商,除非该零售商在上一个日历年或税务年度自经销商或其他零售商以外的人(例如社会公众或境外供货源)采购受涵盖商品超过 5 万美元;或(ii)依任何州法获许可或授权从事典当业务者,但仅限其从事典当交易的范围。
(5)就将(b)(1) 与 (b)(2)(i) 的 5 万美元门槛适用于(a)(4) 所定义的成品而言,仅计入其所含或所附的珠宝级有机宝石、贵金属或贵重宝石的价值。
(d)贵金属指:(1)纯度达 500‰ 或以上的金、铱、锇、钯、铂、铑、钌或银;以及(2)含有上述(d)(1) 所列两种或以上金属合计达 500‰ 或以上的合金。
逐条对应到跨境饰品卖家:
| 你的情况 | 是否 Dealer |
|---|---|
| 卖不锈钢、锌合金、镀金饰品 | ❌ 不是贵金属,完全不在射程 |
| 卖 925 银首饰给消费者,货从中国工厂进 | ❌ 你是零售商,且供货源虽在境外但…… ⚠️ 见下 |
| 同上,且年度从境外供货源采购银饰 > 5 万美元 | ⚠️ 落入 (b)(2)(i) 的例外,可能构成 Dealer |
| 做 B2B 批发,采购与销售各 > 5 万美元 | ✅ 很可能是 Dealer |
| 展会 / 门店回收旧金旧银,年度 > 5 万美元 | ✅ 从「社会公众」采购,典型触发情形 |
THE AML PROGRAM 二、落入了要做什么
(a)(1) Each dealer shall develop and implement a written anti-money laundering program reasonably designed to prevent the dealer from being used to facilitate money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities through the purchase and sale of covered goods. The program must be approved by senior management. A dealer shall make its anti-money laundering program available to the Department of Treasury through FinCEN or its designee upon request.
(b) Minimum requirements. At a minimum, the anti-money laundering program shall:
(1) Incorporate policies, procedures, and internal controls based upon the dealer's assessment of the money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with its line(s) of business…
(2) Designate a compliance officer who will be responsible for ensuring that: (i) The anti-money laundering program is implemented effectively; (ii) The anti-money laundering program is updated as necessary…; and (iii) Appropriate personnel are trained…
(3) Provide for on-going education and training of appropriate persons concerning their responsibilities under the program.
(4) Provide for independent testing to monitor and maintain an adequate program. The scope and frequency of the testing shall be commensurate with the risk assessment… Such testing may be conducted by an officer or employee of the dealer, so long as the tester is not the person designated in paragraph (b)(2) of this section or a person involved in the operation of the program.
(a)(1) 每一经销商均应制定并实施一套书面的反洗钱程序,其设计须合理地防止该经销商因受涵盖商品的买卖而被用于协助洗钱与资助恐怖活动。该程序须经高级管理层批准。经销商应在被要求时,通过 FinCEN 或其指定方向财政部提供其反洗钱程序。
(b)最低要求。 反洗钱程序至少应当:
(1)纳入基于该经销商对其业务线所涉洗钱与恐怖融资风险评估而制定的政策、程序与内部控制……
(2)指定一名合规官,负责确保:(i)反洗钱程序被有效实施;(ii)程序按需更新;(iii)相关人员受到培训。
(3)就相关人员在该程序项下的职责,提供持续的教育与培训。
(4)提供独立测试以监督并维持程序的充分性。测试的范围与频率应与风险评估相称……测试可由该经销商的高管或雇员进行,但测试人不得是(b)(2) 所指定的合规官,也不得是参与该程序运作的人员。
条文里明确写了要考虑的风险因素,其中两条与跨境业务高度相关:是否与非既有客户或非既有供货源交易,以及款项或对账是否经由被认定为高风险法域的账户流转。规章还列举了可疑交易的迹象:大额现金、连号汇票、旅行支票、第三方付款;对方不肯提供完整准确的联系方式或财务资信;要求不留正常业务记录;交易金额或品类异常等。
这套程序不需要向 FinCEN 报备,但要能随时拿得出来。 实务上就是一份文件 + 一个指定的人 + 一次年度培训记录 + 一次独立复核记录。
THE $10,000 CASH REPORT 三、另一条独立义务:现金 1 万美元
这一条与你是不是 Dealer 无关,只要在美国经营就适用。
(a)(1)(i) In general. Any person who, in the course of a trade or business in which such person is engaged, receives currency in excess of $10,000 in 1 transaction (or 2 or more related transactions) shall, except as otherwise provided, make a report of information with respect to the receipt of currency.
(b)(1) Initial payment in excess of $10,000. If the initial payment exceeds $10,000, the recipient must report the initial payment within 15 days of its receipt.
(b)(2) Initial payment of $10,000 or less. If the initial payment does not exceed $10,000, the recipient must aggregate the initial payment and subsequent payments made within one year of the initial payment until the aggregate amount exceeds $10,000, and report with respect to the aggregate amount within 15 days after receiving the payment that causes the aggregate amount to exceed $10,000.
(a)(1)(i) 一般规定。 任何人在其所从事的行业或经营过程中,于一笔交易(或两笔以上关联交易)中收到超过 1 万美元的现金的,除另有规定外,应就该现金收取作出信息申报。
(b)(1) 首付款超过 1 万美元。 若首付款超过 1 万美元,收款人须在收到后 15 日内申报该首付款。
(b)(2) 首付款不超过 1 万美元。 若首付款不超过 1 万美元,收款人须将首付款与其后一年内的付款累计,直至累计金额超过 1 万美元,并在收到使累计金额超过 1 万美元的那笔付款后 15 日内就该累计金额申报。
要点:
- 「现金」不只是纸币,还包括面额不超过 1 万美元的银行本票、汇票、旅行支票、汇款单
- 关联交易要合并计算——把一笔 1.5 万美元拆成两笔 7500 美元不但不能规避,本身就是「结构化交易」,是独立的刑事风险
- 申报表就是 Form 8300(同时满足 26 U.S.C. § 6050I 与 31 U.S.C. § 5331 两套要求)
- 达到一定申报量的企业须电子申报;另需在次年 1 月 31 日前向付款方发出书面告知
对饰品行业最现实的场景是线下展会与门店收现金——一个客户当场买走一批货,或分几次凑够了一万美元。
PITFALLS 四、常见踩坑
- 后果
- 零售商确实原则上被排除,但 § 1027.100(b)(2)(i) 有一个例外:从「经销商或其他零售商以外的人」采购超过 5 万美元。条文明确把「社会公众」和「境外供货源」都列了进去。做以旧换新、直接从中国工厂进银饰的卖家,恰好同时踩在这两个词上。
- 规避
- 按年核一次账:从境外工厂与从个人手里采购的贵金属、宝石,其料值部分合计有没有过 5 万美元。过了就要建程序,没过就留一份计算底稿备查。
- 后果
- § 1027.100(b)(5) 写得很清楚:成品件只计入其中贵金属与宝石本身的价值。用发票总额去算,会把大量根本没到门槛的卖家吓成 Dealer,白白付出合规成本;反过来,若成品的金石占比很高,只看「不是纯金料」也可能低估。
- 规避
- 让供应商在报价单中拆分料值与工费,按料值口径逐年汇总。这份拆分本身也是关税归类与成本核算需要的。
- 后果
- 「结构化交易(structuring)」——为规避申报义务而拆分现金——是独立的联邦犯罪,性质比漏报严重得多。而且 § 1010.330 本来就要求关联交易合并计算,拆了也照样要报,等于白白把一个申报义务变成了一个刑事风险。
- 规避
- 照实收、照实报,15 日内提交 Form 8300。也可以直接引导客户改用银行转账或刷卡,那样根本不产生这条义务。
- 后果
- § 1027.210(b)(4) 把独立测试写成了最低要求之一,且明确规定测试人不能是合规官本人、也不能是参与程序运作的人。一份写完就锁进抽屉、没有培训记录也没有复核记录的文件,在检查时基本等于没有。
- 规避
- 每年安排一次内部复核,由不参与日常合规操作的人做,出一页纪要(查了什么、发现什么、怎么改)。小公司也可以请外部会计或律师做,成本可控。
FAQ 五、常见问题
我只卖不锈钢和合金饰品,需要管这一套吗?
Part 1027 完全不适用——不锈钢、锌合金、黄铜、镀金件都不是「贵金属」(纯度 500‰ 门槛)。但 § 1010.330 的现金申报义务与品类无关,只要在美国经营、收到逾 1 万美元现金就要报。线上收款基本不会触发,做线下展会的要留意。
镀金、包金(gold-filled)算贵金属吗?
看整体纯度。法定门槛是「纯度达 500‰ 或以上」,镀层件的金含量远低于此;包金件的金层通常占总重的 1/20 左右,同样达不到。按 K 数换算:9K ≈ 375‰、10K ≈ 417‰ 都在门槛之下;14K ≈ 585‰、18K = 750‰、925 银 = 925‰ 在门槛之上。所以做 14K 以上实金与 925 银的卖家才需要认真算这笔账。
平台代收货款算「现金」吗?
不算。§ 1010.330 定义的「currency」是纸币硬币,加上面额不超过 1 万美元的银行本票、汇票、旅行支票、汇款单。信用卡、平台结算、银行电汇都不在其列,也就不产生这条申报义务。
我人在中国,公司也在中国,这些规定管得到我吗?
Part 1027 的定义是「在美国境内以买卖为业(engaged within the United States as a business)」。如果你在美国有实体、有本土发货与收款,实质上就是在美国境内经营。更实际的判断是:如果你有美国公司、美国银行账户、美国仓库,就按在美国经营来准备。
美国仓在这件事上扮演什么角色?
仓储服务本身不构成「买卖受涵盖商品」,仓库不是 Dealer。仓库能提供的是入库、库存、出库的完整记录,在你需要做风险评估、追溯某批货来源与去向时可以直接调取。反洗钱程序与现金申报是货主自己的义务,仓库不代办、也无法代办。
