- If they conduct itinerary lot trading, the originals of the receipts of value added tax and enterprise income tax collected in the circulation stage are also required.

- For goods sold by agencies which auction the confiscated goods for requisition to the State funds, or re-purchased from auction winners, the originals of the invoices of sale of the confiscated goods for requisition of the State funds are required. If such invoices are copies, the certification by the agencies which auctioned such goods lots is required and the goods sale invoices issued by the sellers must clearly inscribe the invoices of sale of the confiscated goods from which such invoices are extracted.

The above-said invoices and vouchers must be produced together with the goods right at the time of inspection. The invoices must fully inscribe the names and addresses of the buyers, tax codes of the sellers and buyers and goods categories, in compatibility with the actual goods. All cases of violation shall be considered smuggled goods and subject to administrative sanctions and goods confiscation, or examination for penal liability.
