release time:2020/11/6

Not long ago, the economic data of Tianjin in the first three quarters of this year were released, and the performance of foreign trade was particularly bright: foreign trade imports and exports amounted to 545.38 billion yuan, an increase of 1.3% over the same period last year, higher than the national average. Of this amount, exports amounted to 225.59 billion yuan, up 3.8%, while imports amounted to 3.197.9 billion yuan, down 0.4%. From the plunge, stabilization to the overall recovery, after ups and downs, more hard-won.

In fact, since June this year, the monthly import and export value of Tianjin has grown year-on-year for four consecutive months, and in August, the accumulative growth rate of this year turned positive for the first time. In the first three quarters of this year, Tianjin exported and imported 31.66 billion yuan by general trade, up 14.5%, accounting for 57.1% of the total value of the city's imports and exports, accounting for an increase of 6.6% over the same period of last year, and driving up 7.3% of the city's import and export growth.

Due to the huge impact of the epidemic and the shrinking global trade, We have been able to stabilize the basic foreign trade with tenacity and "internal strength". Under the new situation, we have shown a new "strategy". Under heavy pressure, Tianjin's foreign trade has made a remarkable performance.

New market: Expanding trade "circle of friends"

Under the shadow of the epidemic, foreign trade enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are suffering the most because of their connection between domestic and foreign markets. In order to help enterprises stabilize orders and expand the market, Tianjin issued timely support policies to promote the resumption of work and production, provide employment security, strengthen logistics and transportation, actively explore the market, and strengthen credit and insurance support... Cut through the epidemic, a preferential measures were sent to enterprises side.

Grasp the nettle and turn danger into opportunity. In the first three quarters of this year, in addition to foreign-funded enterprises, which are the traditional main force in foreign trade, tianjin's private enterprises also performed well, with a total import and export volume of 203.56 billion yuan, an increase of 5.1%, faster than the average level of the city, accounting for 37.3%, 1.3 percentage points higher than that of last year.

"The vitality of private enterprises has been gradually stimulated, indicating that the internal impetus for foreign trade has been constantly strengthened." Tianjin customs statistical analysis of the relevant person in charge said that this is also the optimization of the trade structure of one of the embodiment.

At the same time, the "circle of friends" in foreign trade is expanding, and the development of emerging markets has brought new growth points. In the first three quarters of this year, Tianjin's imports and exports to its major trading partners all showed a good growth. Among them, the European Union was the largest trading partner of Tianjin, with imports and exports of 103.21 billion yuan, accounting for 18.9%. Asean came in second, with a 4.8 per cent increase. In addition, imports and exports to One Belt And One Road countries grew by 3.9 percent, accounting for 25.2 percent, or 0.6 percentage points higher. In order to help foreign trade enterprises to further open up their market, Tianjin has also organized a number of foreign trade products export to domestic sales activities, to provide opportunities and platforms to expand the domestic market.

New speed: customs clearance mode is more convenient

To stabilize foreign trade, we need to develop new speed. Recently, ikea logistics services (tianjin) co., LTD., a batch of folding chairs and other furniture imported from Romania arrived in tianjin port, before this, tianjin xingang customs officers have customs belongs to review and release the goods processing, after the success of the electronic release information to the touch, and rapid loading and unloading container ship to the shore in the truck, warehouse directly to enterprises, to transport the goods from the ship reached port, it only took eight hours. Zhang Zhi, customs manager of the company, said: "With the direct lift alongside the ship, the time for the pick-up and departure of imported goods has been greatly reduced. Combined with preferential policies like the previous two steps of declaration, the efficiency of our import clearance has been further improved."

"This is a 'model room' epitomized by our tianjin customs clearance preferential policies." Xingang customs 2 place, deputy director of the comprehensive business ZhuJianWei is introduced, the customs of the "customs clearance +" model, the various preferential policies combined with the needs of different types of enterprises, make the customs clearance convenient solution, for now, ikea used a two-step declare, collect tax, validation and block chain "the boat straight" and so on six big preferential policies, cargo wharf is always the first time into the warehouse, reduce logistics cost.

Since the beginning of this year, tianjin Port has continued to carry out innovative regulatory modes such as "direct loading alongside ship" for imports and "direct loading upon arrival" for exports, which have played an important role during the epidemic. In September, the total clearance time for imports and exports at Tianjin port was 31.22 hours and 1.11 hours respectively, both of which have been reduced compared with the same period last year.

New drivers of growth: Highlights of transformation and upgrading are emerging frequently

At present, the international trade environment is full of uncertainties and the foreign trade situation is still complex and grim. It is gratifying to note that in Tianjin, new drivers of foreign trade development are gradually gathering and strengthening.

Since the beginning of this year, cross-border e-commerce has bucked the trend and achieved outstanding results. After years of development and growth, this new business form has become a "booster" for stabilizing foreign trade. In the first three quarters of this year, Tianjin completed 20.41 million import declaration orders from cross-border e-commerce, an increase of 7.4% over the same period last year. The turnover reached 3.33 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9%, and 876,000 export orders were completed, with a turnover of 27.055 million yuan. In addition, since July, Tianjin has officially launched the cross-border e-commerce B2B export supervision pilot work. Within just three months, the export volume has exceeded 100 million yuan.

Policy dividends continued to be released, and the pace of transformation and upgrading accelerated. Tianjin Export Processing Zone, Dongjiang Bonded Port Area and Bonded logistics Park, three areas under special customs supervision, have been approved by the State Council and upgraded into comprehensive bonded zones this year. They will further develop bonded processing, bonded logistics and bonded services and enjoy higher-level opening-up policies. Among them, the east has started construction of shcool iot, changchun automotive test center of tianjin lab, kyushu district such as the first heald bao tong international health city function entity platform, the introduction of China railway engineering equipment design and research institute, the machine group tianjin branch (tianjin) auto testing laboratory and other key projects, research and development of high-end equipment, bonded detection, wisdom, cold chain, auto bonded storage, and other comprehensive zone was formally implemented new features.

Fostering new business forms and models was also included in the Action Plan of Tianjin Municipality on Promoting High-quality Trade Development (2020-2022) released in July. Driven by endogenous power and supported by policies, the giant ship of foreign trade will continue to ride the waves and sail steadily in spite of strong winds and torrential rains.
