The General Administration Of Customs Is Working Hard To Solve The Problem Of Foreign Trade Steadily.

The end of the year is coming. In view of the complex and severe situation of China's foreign trade situation, the General Administration of Customs has recently introduced measures to try to achieve steady growth in foreign trade this year.

Customs data show that in 1-10 months, China's imports and exports decreased by 8.5% compared with the same period last year, of which exports dropped 2.5% compared with the same period last year, and imports dropped 15.7% compared to the same period last year.

"This kind of import and export" double down "situation is rare in the past 30 years since reform and opening up.

On the 25 day, a general administration official said, at a briefing held by the General Administration of customs.

In terms of customs clearance, the General Administration of Customs has also offered "big moves", such as strengthening coordination and cooperation with relevant administrative departments of ports, promoting the establishment of a single window for international trade and the sharing of port information.

China's Ministry of Commerce recently released the report on China's foreign trade situation (autumn 2015), pointing out that China's foreign trade situation in the fourth quarter is still grim, weak external demand, domestic demand and commodities.

Sustained low operation affects China's foreign trade growth.

The report predicts that the size of China's exports will be basically the same as that of last year, and the import volume will decrease considerably, and the total import and export will be reduced.

This means that China's annual foreign trade is lingering on or off at zero growth rate.

In view of this, this year, various departments in China have launched successive measures to stabilize foreign trade growth.

The foregoing "measures taken by the General Administration of Customs to further promote the steady growth of foreign trade" were formulated under this background.

China News Service reporter noted that, compared with the similar documents previously issued, this document containing 18 specific measures pays more attention to the convenience of customs clearance and the burden reduction for enterprises.

"At present,

All kinds of costs are rising. Reducing the operating costs of enterprises is more important than ever before. Many enterprises have expectations for reducing import and export links.

Referring to the background of the above documents, the former customs officer said.

A sales manager of a main sanitary ware enterprise in Wenzhou told the China News Agency reporter that the cost of customs clearance and inspection is still relatively expensive. "One check will cost RMB one thousand yuan, and sometimes there will be no profit for a single ticket."

It is worth noting that in July this year, the State Council issued the "promotion".

The first of several opinions on steady growth is to resolutely clean up and standardize the import and export charges. It requires that the list management of import and export links should be implemented.

Enterprises that have no problems in port inspection shall be exempted from hoisting, shifting, warehousing and other expenses.

In view of this, the measures launched by the General Administration of customs, in accordance with the principles of "breaking monopoly, promoting competition, regulating behavior and improving supervision", put forward measures to liberate the access restrictions of the electronic port pre entry system, and are considered to be able to effectively reduce the burden of the import and export enterprises.

"Before this work involves a number of departments, there will often be some convergence problems, which will extend the clearance time and increase the cost of customs clearance."

A Customs General official admitted.

The official pointed out that if the international trade single window and port information sharing and sharing mechanism is pushed forward, the above problems will be fundamentally solved, and the "port clearance efficiency" will be substantially improved.

Similar problems also occur outside the country.

Customs officials pointed out that if the efficiency of customs clearance departments of relevant countries can not keep up with or the regulatory system and standards do not match China, it will also affect the efficiency of customs clearance of China's import and export enterprises.

In this regard, the General Administration of Customs said that it would further strengthen Customs international cooperation and sign institutional arrangements with the customs of the countries along the belt, and continue to cooperate in the areas of mutual recognition of supervision and green channel for agricultural products, so as to form a group of cooperation models.

Actively promote AEO mutual recognition cooperation, and promote enterprises to "go out" better.
