Practical measures for serving foreign-funded foreign trade enterprises

Recently, the general office of the State Council issued the opinions on promoting the stability and quality improvement of foreign trade, which clearly put forward 13 policy measures to promote the smooth transportation of foreign trade goods.
Prior to this, the General Administration of Customs issued ten measures to deploy and do a good job in stabilizing foreign trade from the aspects of ensuring smooth supply chain circulation of industrial chains in key regions, supporting small, medium and micro enterprises to carry out market procurement trade, accelerating customs clearance of goods urgently needed by enterprises, and improving the efficiency of inbound and outbound logistics.
"The national customs will give full play to its functions and role, while unswervingly doing a good job in the prevention and control of port epidemics, promote the implementation of a series of measures to ensure the stability and quality of foreign trade, make every effort to ensure the stability and smoothness of the supply chain of the industrial chain, and ensure the speed of customs clearance, cost reduction, benefits and efficiency." The relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Customs said.
Ensure safe and smooth customs clearance
On May 27, a Roche import charter plane successfully completed customs clearance at Shanghai Pudong airport. This is the fourth chartered medical material import plane of Roche Diagnostics Co., Ltd. since May. In the past month, Roche has completed the customs clearance of 4164 goods, with a total weight of 327.5 tons.
"After understanding the import plan and customs clearance demands of the enterprise, we have specially assigned a person to follow up the special window service for 24 hours to provide a 'one machine, one policy' tailored supervision and guarantee scheme, which can be checked and released at any time. At the same time, according to the characteristics of biomedical products, we have provided convenience measures such as cold storage inspection to promote the biomedical industry to return to production." Xuzhe, deputy section chief of the first division of the customs' physical control and inspection at Shanghai Pudong Airport, said.

From January to February this year, the total import and export value of Shanghai port was 1.76 trillion yuan, accounting for 28.4% of the country. However, affected by the epidemic, the proportion of the total import and export value of Shanghai port in the country dropped sharply to 16.3% in April.

"The safety and smoothness of Shanghai port is of great significance to the resumption of work and production in Shanghai and the healthy and stable economy of the Yangtze River Delta." Gaorongkun, director of Shanghai Customs, introduced that Shanghai Customs conducted surveys on more than 400 enterprises in key industries such as integrated circuit, biomedicine and automobile manufacturing in the form of questionnaires and video conferences, sorted out and formed 37 questions and suggestions in four categories: logistics, human resources, supply chain and policy demands, and connected with relevant key enterprises one by one to come up with operable solutions one by one, so as to practically do practical things and solve problems for the masses of enterprises.
On April 30, during the critical period of the epidemic in Shanghai, the Shanghai Customs jointly issued a joint notice with the customs in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Hefei and other places to strengthen the rapid response and coordinated disposal of difficult customs clearance problems and emergencies across customs areas, make overall plans to ensure that the key enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta can quickly clear the customs of goods entering and leaving the Shanghai port during the epidemic period, and fully support the resumption of work and production.
"We have coordinated the list of key enterprises in the supply chain of the industrial chain in the Yangtze River Delta region, realized mutual recognition of the white list enterprises through five passes, and ensured one-time declaration, one-time inspection and one-time release. For key industries such as aviation, shipping, integrated circuits and automobile manufacturing, we have established a visual green channel for the whole process of customs clearance." Gaorongkun said.
As Shanghai has entered the stage of restoring normal production and living order in an all-round way, the foreign trade of Shanghai port has further stabilized, and the pace of foreign trade enterprises' resumption of work and production has significantly accelerated. The latest statistics show that in May, the customs of Shanghai Pudong Airport supervised 4436 inbound and outbound cargo planes, a significant increase of 74.85% over the same period in April; 165000 tons of inbound and outbound goods were supervised, a significant increase of 84.6% over the same period in April.
Expand new export channels
On May 28, under the supervision of Xuzhou customs under Nanjing Customs, Xuzhou China Europe train carrying goods purchased from the market drove out of the customs supervision site. This is the first batch of goods declared by Jiangsu Province in the form of market procurement trade and exported by the China Europe train.
The LED panel lamps wholesale to Uzbekistan were purchased by the business department of chuyuzhi daily necessities, Mocheng street, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, and declared for export to the local customs through market procurement trade. According to the merchant zhangguirong, under the mode of "China Europe train + market procurement trade", he can not only enjoy the policy preferences of market procurement trade, but also easily catch up with China Europe train for rapid export, saving more than 30% of logistics costs compared with the past.
"We guide the enterprises to export near the place where the goods are assembled after customs declaration in Changshu. The enterprises have more choices when determining the export logistics channel." Lixinjun, deputy director of Changshu customs, said that by optimizing the export mechanism of customs transfer and customs clearance integration, he actively supported the opening of new logistics channels such as China Europe train and China Laos railway, and helped small, medium-sized and micro enterprises go abroad. According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, the total value of Changshu's procurement trade exports has exceeded 4.6 billion yuan.
Songbin, the operator of Xuzhou China Europe train and the deputy general manager of Xuzhou Huaihai International Dry Port Operation Co., Ltd., frankly said that due to the impact of the epidemic, there is a great pressure on the collection and distribution of trains, "The Customs has maintained real-time communication with us and explored the mode of 'China Europe train + market procurement trade', which not only gives full play to the advantages of simple declaration, fast customs clearance and the function of ensuring the smooth flow of trains, but also builds a shared and low-cost foreign trade platform for the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises.".
According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, China Europe Trains Operated 3630 trains and transported 350000 standard containers, an increase of 7% and 9% respectively year-on-year, and the comprehensive heavy container rate was 97.7%. Especially since April, the channel of China EU trains has been unblocked and the operation has been stable. 1170 trains have been operated in the whole month, 36 more than that in March, an increase of 3% month on month. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, China Europe trains have operated more than 1000 trains per month for 24 consecutive months, effectively ensuring the stability of the international industrial chain supply chain.
It is reported that on the basis of Xuzhou China Europe train pilot, Nanjing Customs will further promote the pilot export mode of "rapid customs clearance" at railway ports in Suzhou, Lianyungang and other places, and improve the facilitation level of cross-border transportation of China Europe train; At the same time, we will continue to simplify and optimize the applicable conditions for small and small batch supervision of market procurement trade, expand the scope of automatic document review of small and small batch export inspection and quarantine and rapid issuance of electronic ledger, fully support the creation of a new model of market procurement trade, and open a new channel for small, medium and micro enterprises to guarantee orders and expand exports.
Help enterprises reduce burden and increase efficiency
Recently, at the Anji port container terminal in Zhejiang Province, four containers loaded with jute yarn completed the procedures from unloading to departure through the "ship side direct lifting" mode for the first time. The whole process took less than 20 minutes, realizing "zero delay" from cargo arrival, unloading to loading.
It is reported that this is the first time that Hangzhou Customs has extended the above-mentioned mode to inland ports after implementing the business model of "direct delivery at the ship's side" for import and "direct loading at the port of arrival" for export in the four seaports of Jiaxing, Taizhou, Zhoushan and Wenzhou, realizing the full coverage of all seaports and inland ports within its jurisdiction.
"Affected by the epidemic, a large number of enterprises choose to import and export goods by water transportation, and the port container operation volume continues to rise. The customs vigorously promotes the 'direct loading' and 'direct delivery' mode, which can effectively improve the terminal operation efficiency and accelerate the logistics transfer of import and export goods in the Yangtze River Delta region." Wang Mao, director of the port supervision division of Hangzhou Customs, said that the new model has superimposed double advantages, which is conducive to making full use of the transport capacity resources of the ports and inland ports in the province and ensuring the stability of the logistics supply chain.
In view of the problems existing in some foreign trade enterprises, such as poor logistics, blocked industrial chain supply chain, and rising comprehensive costs, Guangzhou Customs has helped foreign trade enterprises reduce production and operation costs, and supported foreign trade enterprises to maintain orders and expectations by accelerating the clearance of goods urgently needed by enterprises, improving the efficiency of inbound and outbound logistics, and actively implementing tax reduction and fee reduction measures. In terms of trade facilitation, we have fully implemented measures such as early declaration, simplified declaration and cross customs area integrated customs clearance mode, so that "enterprises run errands less and data more" to help enterprises reduce burden and increase efficiency.
Chen Zhen, deputy director of Guangzhou Customs, said that in the next step, we will continue to strengthen the publicity and interpretation of the policy, follow up and investigate the implementation of the policy to promote the stability and quality of foreign trade, and continuously expand the coverage of the policy to benefit enterprises; Establish a long-term mechanism for service enterprises, make good use of the "problem clearing" mechanism, help the supply chain industry connect the upstream and downstream of key industries, reduce the burden and increase efficiency of service enterprises, do everything possible to ensure market players, market share and the stability of the supply chain of the industrial chain, go all out to stabilize the foreign trade and foreign investment base, and promote the stability and quality improvement of foreign trade.
