根据《中华人民共和国海关法》的规定,作为国家的进出境监督管理机关的海关主要担负监管进出境运输工具、货物、物品,征收关税和其他税、费,查缉走私及编制海关统计的任务。就监管而言,主要是对有形财产的管理,而对知识产权这种无形财产,过去在进出境环节中,我国海关一直没有承担管理和保护的任务。 According to the provisions of the “Customs Law of the People’s Republic of China”, the Customs, as the state’s entry-exit supervision and administration organ, is primarily responsible for regulating the entry and exit of means of transport, goods and articles, collecting duties and other taxes and fees, investigating smuggling and preparing customs statistics. In terms of regulation, it is mainly the management of tangible property. For intangible property such as intellectual property rights, China Customs has never assumed the task of management and protection in the past.
