After the State Council promulgated the "National 16 Measures" to stabilize foreign trade at the beginning of this month, various national ministries and commissions began to intensively promulgate policies to support foreign trade and carried out detailed implementation of the "National 16" policies. The General Administration of Customs took the lead in promulgating 20 measures to stabilize foreign trade.

Hugo.com learned that the General Administration of Customs today announced the "Measures for Supporting the Stable Growth of Foreign Trade" (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"), including 20 measures in 4 parts, which involve the State Council’s several opinions on supporting the steady growth of foreign trade. Policies and measures for customs work have been refined into more specific and practical implementation measures.

The specific content of "Several Measures" can be summarized in 12 words: "Grasping reform, reducing burden, promoting upgrading, and optimizing the environment":

The first part is "grasping reform", including accelerating the formation of a reproducible and extendable system design in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, accelerating the reform of regional customs clearance integration, comprehensively implementing the paperless reform of customs clearance operations, improving customs inspection efficiency, and comprehensive Promote the "Three Ones" of customs and inspection cooperation, and study and promote the construction of a "single window" in international trade, including six reforms.

The second part is "burden reduction", including active support for expanding imports and stabilizing exports, optimizing tax collection and management, advancing the strategy of free trade zones, further standardizing operational services and fees for import and export links, and coordinating and improving export tax rebate policies. Improve policies and measures to reduce operating costs for enterprises.

The third part is "promoting upgrading", including the establishment and improvement of customs supervision models that are compatible with the characteristics of service trade, innovating bonded supervision models, and accelerating the integration and optimization of special customs supervision areas, and promoting processing through the innovation of supervision models Trade transformation and upgrading.

The fourth part is the "optimal environment", including continuing to promote streamlined administration and decentralization, supporting the development of new trade platforms, improving the customs enterprise credit management system, guiding and encouraging independent innovation of enterprises, strengthening statistical analysis and statistical services, and deepening international cooperation between customs and supporting enterprises to "go Seven measures including "Going Out" create a good import and export environment for foreign trade enterprises and enhance their competitiveness.

Hugo.com learned that this "Several Measures" closely focus on the current foreign trade situation, with clear guidance, strong force and practical content. Mainly have the following characteristics:

One is to highlight the reform orientation. The fundamental way to support the steady growth of foreign trade must be achieved through reforms. The six key reform measures proposed by the General Administration of Customs this time involve multiple fields such as port customs clearance, supervision, taxation, taxation, and cooperation between law enforcement agencies. For example, 14 innovative systems have been successively launched in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone. In August this year, the pilots will be summarized in stages, and the scope of application that can be replicated and promoted will be studied; customs inspection cooperation "three ones", regional customs clearance integration A number of reforms, including reforms and paperless reform of customs clearance operations, will also be rolled out across the country. These measures have obvious effects on improving port efficiency and promoting trade facilitation.

The second is to focus on reducing burdens and increasing efficiency. The various cost increases faced by foreign trade enterprises are unfavorable factors affecting the growth of foreign trade. Enterprises have great expectations for the government to take effective measures to help the government take effective measures to help climb the hurdles, reduce burdens and increase efficiency. To this end, the measures introduced in the "Several Measures" are based on the principle of "practical and feasible", focusing on solving the current difficulties and demands reflected by localities, industries and foreign trade enterprises. For example, the measure of "improving customs inspection efficiency" applies a lower rate of random control and inspection to honest and law-abiding enterprises; goods entering and leaving the special customs supervision area are transferred to the area for inspection in principle; container equipment is increased, and conditional supervision is required. At the scene, as far as possible, take the method of machine inspection. For another example, “promoting measures to streamline administration and delegate powers” will ensure that the 7 administrative approval items that have been cancelled and delegated last year are implemented, and 5 more approval items will be cancelled and delegated during the year, and the customs business management field will be cleaned up simultaneously with the nature of approval. For other matters, the non-administrative license approval items will be gradually eliminated, and the procedures will be further simplified to facilitate the people and enterprises in handling matters. In response to the charging issues reported by enterprises, the General Administration of Customs has cancelled 7 charging items since 2012, focusing on "further standardizing operational services and charges in the import and export process", and supervising relevant units to strictly implement the " "Price Law" and other laws and administrative regulations require legal operations, fair competition, honesty and trustworthiness, and provide high-quality and competitive price services for convenient customs clearance for import and export enterprises. In addition, the promulgation of a series of targeted measures such as actively supporting the expansion of imports and stabilizing exports, promoting centralized tax payment, coordinating and improving export tax rebate policies, and optimizing customs clearance procedures for bonded goods in and out of the zone will all have a good effect of reducing complexity, reducing burdens and increasing efficiency. .

The third is to focus on creating an environment. The General Administration of Customs will actively promote a number of measures in this regard. For example, in supporting the development of new trade platforms, the General Administration of Customs will soon launch a unified version of the cross-border trade e-commerce retail export system. The launch of the system will create conditions for e-commerce companies to facilitate customs clearance, tax refunds and foreign exchange settlement at various ports across the country. On this basis, it will also accelerate the study of policies and measures to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce retail imports, strive for the early release of policies, and support and promote the development of comprehensive foreign trade service enterprises in terms of enterprise management, enterprise classification, and data networking. In terms of maintaining trade order, the customs will carry out joint crackdowns and comprehensive rectification through precise, accurate, and ruthless efforts; establish an intellectual property rights protection enterprise contact system with enterprises to increase the protection of enterprises’ independent well-known brands; strengthen statistical analysis and statistics Services, publish customs data such as China’s foreign trade export pilot index, provide effective information services for companies, help companies grasp market and risk changes, guide companies to explore domestic and foreign markets; expand and enhance customs multilateral and bilateral international cooperation to "go global" Enterprises strive to maximize the convenience of foreign customs clearance.

The fourth is the "dual promotion" of trade in goods and services. my country is the largest country in trade in goods and is also the world's largest service trade deficit country. Recently, the State Council has made arrangements to accelerate the development of key and weak links in the producer service industry to promote the adjustment and upgrading of the industrial structure. In terms of customs supervision, in the past, more attention was paid to trade in goods, and there were few measures in the area of trade in services. In order to promote the development of service trade, the General Administration of Customs clearly proposed for the first time the need to “establish and improve the customs supervision model adapted to the characteristics of service trade”, make full use of the policy advantages of the special customs supervision area, innovate the supervision model, and study and clarify access conditions and Standards, regulatory methods, and taxation principles to adapt to the development of service trade such as futures bonded delivery, financial leasing, and service outsourcing; expand the scope of pilot after-sales maintenance for enterprises, explore support for enterprises to carry out global maintenance business; support for the development of R&D design, business services, and marketing Productive services such as, after-sales service, etc., promote the development of the productive service industry associated with the processing and manufacturing industry. In addition, measures such as innovating the bonded supervision model and accelerating the integration and optimization of special customs supervision areas will also play a positive role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the trade structure.

[Related] 20 "Several Measures" issued by the General Administration of Customs and detailed interpretation

Part One Deepen the six reforms and improve the level of trade facilitation

Accelerate the formation of a system design that can be replicated and promoted in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

On the basis of summarizing the results of the pilot free trade zone for half a year, the customs has issued 14 standardized, transparent, and inclusive institutional arrangements in April, including: "customs declaration after advanced zone", "self-transport in the zone", "bonded "Exhibition transaction", "Work order write-off", "Domestic and overseas maintenance", "Futures bonded delivery", "Financial leasing", "Simplified unified entry and exit filing list", "Batch entry and exit, centralized declaration", "Warehouse enterprise" "Networked supervision", "intelligent bayonet inspection and release", "selective taxation of domestic sales", "centralized tax payment", "simplified paperless customs clearance accompanying documents". Among them, the first 7 items have been implemented, and the last 7 items will be fully implemented before June 30. These innovative systems involve customs clearance, supervision, taxation, and bonded areas. After implementation, they will better adapt to the rules of enterprise production and operation, reduce enterprise operating costs, and improve customs clearance efficiency. For example, the advanced zone and post-declaration model can shorten the time for the company’s entry of goods from the port area to the warehouse in the zone from an average of 2-3 days to half a day; after the implementation of self-transportation in the zone, the goods in the four areas can be transferred to one company every year. Save about 200,000 yuan in transportation costs.

In order to amplify the innovative effect of customs supervision in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, the General Administration of Customs also plans to start in August this year, to summarize the pilot phases, and to promote the implementation of various items at different levels in accordance with the principles of activeness, stability, local conditions, feasible and effective, and risk-controllable Institutional arrangements and reform measures will release reform dividends and benefit more companies.

Speed up the reform of regional customs clearance integration.

With the construction of the New Silk Road Economic Belt, the construction of the Golden Waterway along the Yangtze River, and the construction of the China-Europe Express Line and other open passages to the west, higher requirements have been put forward for regional customs clearance reform. The General Administration of Customs will implement the major national strategy of coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and accelerate the reform of the customs clearance integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in accordance with the country’s major strategy of promoting the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, by building "one center, four platforms" (Regional customs clearance center and unified declaration platform, risk prevention and control platform, professional document review platform, on-site operation platform), break the barriers of customs clearance supervision operations of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs, and form unified law enforcement, strict supervision, simple and efficient, covering customs clearance The integrated management mechanism and operation mode of the whole process allows companies in the three places to independently choose the locations for declaration, taxation, and inspection and release, and replace the things that now require companies to go to the customs multiple times to strengthen the coordination and coordination of work between customs. Build a logistics "highway" for the docking of foreign trade and industrial transfer between the coast and the inland, providing convenient conditions for the free flow of elements and the unification of the market, and promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the joint development of Beijing-Tianjin twin cities.

The General Administration of Customs recently issued the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs Regional Customs Clearance Integration Reform Plan", which clearly puts forward the timetable and roadmap for implementing the major national strategy of coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei through customs clearance reform. The reform will integrate the advantages of customs supervision, break the boundaries of customs areas, and improve the customs clearance process to form an integrated management mechanism that covers the entire customs clearance process of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei customs with stricter supervision, more convenient customs clearance, more scientific procedures, and more efficient operations. And the operation model to further enhance the level of regional trade facilitation, promote the role of regional radiation, and accelerate the industrial docking and cooperation for the three places, straighten out the industrial development chain of the three places, and build a good customs clearance supervision service platform.

The regional customs clearance integration reform of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs will bring about changes in the following aspects:

One is more convenient cross-regional customs clearance. After the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs realizes the integration of customs clearance, enterprises in the three places can choose the customs declaration according to their own needs. In addition to the goods that need to be inspected, they must go through the inspection and release procedures at the actual entry and exit customs, and can release across customs zones. For example, for the goods that Tianjin enterprises clear at the Capital Airport, under the integrated customs clearance model, the enterprise can directly declare the import of the goods to Tianjin Customs, instead of having to go to Beijing to declare to the Capital Airport Customs; Tianjin Customs can directly release the goods, and the Capital Airport The customs releases the goods in accordance with the release instructions of the Tianjin Customs. After the goods are released, the company can directly transport the goods to the factory. According to preliminary estimates, under the integrated customs clearance model, Tianjin enterprises can save at least 8 hours in customs clearance time for import and export goods through the Capital Airport, and the freight on the way can be reduced by about 30%. For another example, companies in Beijing can choose to declare at the nearest Beijing Customs according to their own production and business needs, instead of having to declare at Tianjin Customs. For goods that do not need to be inspected, Beijing Customs can directly release the goods. Tianjin Port After receiving the release instruction from Beijing Customs, the cargo yard will automatically lift the pole to release. Enterprises can complete customs clearance procedures without leaving their homes.

The second is to benefit a wider range of enterprises. Under the integrated customs clearance model, enterprises in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region are all regarded as enterprises in the customs area and can enjoy integrated customs clearance treatment. For example, under the integrated customs clearance model, the regional customs clearance model has been further optimized, and the restrictions on the types of enterprises have been relaxed. All types of enterprises can apply the integrated customs clearance model. In the reform of integrated customs clearance, enterprises in the hinterland area customs clearance at the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei port also apply the integrated customs clearance model. At the same time, under the integrated customs clearance model, the original restrictions on the customs declaration location of customs brokers have also been broken. Customs brokers in the three places can not only carry out customs declaration business in their own region, but also develop their business in two other regions, such as customs brokers in Beijing. You can go through customs declaration procedures with Tianjin Customs and Shijiazhuang Customs without leaving your home, which not only provides a wide range of options for import and export enterprises, but also promotes the competitive development of the customs declaration industry.

The third is smoother import and export logistics. After the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs realizes the integration of customs clearance, the customs of the three places can release the goods entering and leaving the country at these ports by the local enterprises, and according to the needs of enterprises, they can no longer use traditional customs supervision methods such as transit transportation. This integration of customs clearance will create more convenient conditions for the free flow of production factors across regions, and in turn will form a rational distribution of inter-regional industries and a linkage mechanism between upstream and downstream in the three places, creating good customs supervision and service conditions. At the same time, various special customs supervision areas such as bonded areas, comprehensive bonded areas, bonded port areas, export processing zones, and bonded logistics parks owned by the three places have also implemented supporting reforms under the integrated customs clearance model. The three places have special customs supervision areas and bonded areas. The circulation of bonded goods between supervision sites is no longer required to be handled as transit transportation, and enterprises can transport them on their own. In advancing the coordination and cooperation of industries in the three places, the functional advantages of special customs supervision areas such as re-export, warehousing, bonded, and services will be integrated and brought into play in accordance with the needs of industrial layout and the needs of enterprise logistics.

Fourth, customs services are more in place. The reform of integrated customs clearance has introduced many measures to serve enterprises. For example, in terms of customs professional certification, licenses, and processing trade unit consumption standards, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs area recognizes each other. Enterprises only need to apply for one application, and there is no need to go to the other two customs to apply. The other two customs are automatically recognized. For another example, when an enterprise handles customs guarantees, a letter of guarantee is common to all areas. For another example, when an enterprise encounters problems during customs clearance, it implements the first-inquiry responsibility system, and the receiving customs is responsible for coordinating the resolution and response work. All internal coordination and connection of cross-customs customs will be handled through the problem-solving mechanism, and the enterprise does not need to be in the relevant customs Running back and forth between. More importantly, in advancing the reform of the integration of customs clearance, enterprises can feel the same treatment regardless of customs affairs in any customs, just like a customs. For example, in terms of inspection, deployment and control, document review standards, classification management, and so on.

At the same time, the integrated reform of customs clearance in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has provided reproducible and extendable experience and demonstrations for the integrated reform of customs clearance across the country. This reform will first be implemented in the Beijing-Tianjin "Double Cities" Customs from July 1st, followed by the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Customs, and then expanded to areas with close economic ties such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.

(3) Comprehensively implement the paperless reform of customs clearance operations.

Paperless customs clearance changes the original operation method of submitting paper documents on site, allowing companies to complete customs declaration procedures "without leaving home" without being restricted by time and space, saving paper documents printing, express delivery, and storage costs As well as the cost of customs declaration personnel to and from customs, at the same time, the efficiency of customs clearance of goods is significantly improved. According to statistics, after the implementation of paperless customs clearance under normal circumstances, the efficiency of import customs clearance increased by 77.63%; the efficiency of export customs clearance increased by 86.16%. Starting from April 1 this year, the scope of this reform measure and pilot project has been expanded to all business sites and business areas of customs across the country, gradually realizing the full coverage of the paperless reform of customs clearance operations. At the same time, it will focus on accelerating the online verification of regulatory documents, simplifying the documents attached to customs declarations, and optimizing and improving the supporting business system specifications to consolidate the reform foundation, further release the reform dividend, and improve the efficiency of cargo clearance and customs supervision. The volume of paperless customs declarations will reach 80-90% within the year.

(4) Improve the efficiency of customs inspection.

The customs will focus on promoting the "forward and backward" supervision and inspection work, break the time and space bottlenecks at the port site, improve the overall inspection efficiency of the customs, and save time and costs for enterprises. The main measures are as follows: First, improve classification inspections, apply a low random control inspection rate to AA-type integrity and law-abiding enterprises, and strengthen the management of law-abiding enterprises through follow-up inspections. The second is to implement inspection and diversion operations. In principle, goods entering and leaving the special customs supervision area are transferred to the area for inspection, so as to reduce the pressure of port inspection and increase the speed of customs clearance. The third is to strengthen coordination with operators of ports and supervision sites, conform to the laws of logistics, and reduce the impact of inspections on overall logistics.

In addition, the General Administration of Customs will increase the development and deployment of modern customs supervision and inspection technology and equipment, and use large-scale container inspection equipment to reduce the number of unpacking and unpacking. At the same time, pay close attention to the development and deployment of mobile inspection individual operation systems, implement more efficient mobile inspection operations and mobile command, and improve the effectiveness of manual inspections.

(5) Comprehensively promote the "Three Ones" of customs inspection cooperation.

"Three Ones" is the abbreviation of "one declaration, one inspection, one release". "One-time declaration" refers to one-time entry and separate declaration, that is, the enterprise only needs to enter the declaration data once and send it to the customs and inspection and quarantine departments separately according to law; "one-time inspection" refers to one-time unpacking, customs inspection/inspection and quarantine according to law, that is, If both customs and inspection parties need to conduct inspection/inspection and quarantine on the same batch of goods in accordance with the law, the customs and inspection and quarantine departments shall jointly conduct inspection/inspection and quarantine in accordance with their respective responsibilities in accordance with the principle of “one time at the scene, one time out of the box”; “one time release” means customs Inspection network verification and release, that is, the customs and inspection and quarantine departments respectively issue approval and release information according to the law for the goods that arrive at the port, and the enterprise handles the procedures for the removal of the goods based on the approval and release information of the customs inspection. Since the launch of the "Three Ones" of customs inspection cooperation, preliminary results have been achieved in terms of improving customs clearance efficiency, reducing customs clearance costs, and improving the overall efficiency of port customs clearance services. According to statistics, through the implementation of the "Three Ones", enterprises can reduce about 30% of the repeated declaration items for customs inspection, save about 25-30% of the time in the declaration process, and save nearly half of the time and cost of the inspection process.

In order to implement the requirements of the leaders of the State Council on comprehensively promoting the "Three Ones" of customs and inspection cooperation, the customs will actively strengthen coordination and cooperation with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and set up a joint working group to summarize and evaluate the preliminary pilot situation. It is currently being jointly studied with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Formulate a work plan for comprehensively promoting the "Three Ones" of customs and inspection cooperation, and comprehensively promote the "Three Ones" of customs and inspection cooperation to the whole country as soon as possible.

(6) Study and promote the construction of a "single window" in international trade.

In accordance with the spirit of the decision of the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on “realizing the exchange of information, mutual recognition of supervision, and mutual assistance in law enforcement” of relevant port management departments, the State Port Office (with a sign added by the General Administration of Customs) and various port inspection and supervision agencies actively Coordinate and promote the development of a pilot project for the construction of a "single window" for international trade in the Shanghai Yangshan Bonded Port Area. The overall goal of the pilot is to rely on the Shanghai electronic port platform to enable trade and transportation companies to access through a single platform and submit formatted documents and electronic information that meet the requirements of the regulatory authority at one time. The regulatory authority’s processing status and results will be fed back through a single platform. For the applicant, the supervisory department shares supervisory resources and implements joint supervision in accordance with established rules.

The establishment of a "single window" is an effective measure and common practice to enhance the level of trade facilitation and the competitiveness, effectiveness and efficiency of foreign trade in the world. At present, more than 40 countries and economies have introduced "single window" measures. "Window" has become a core means to promote trade facilitation and develop e-commerce. The construction of a "single window" in my country is of great significance. It is a positive response to the current enterprises' eagerness to streamline law enforcement and delegate powers at ports, and it can actually bring convenience to enterprises. According to the current port law enforcement chain, enterprises must go through various procedures between various law enforcement agencies when clearing customs at the port, which objectively increases the cost and burden of customs clearance for enterprises. The construction of a “single window” can effectively change the existing port law enforcement mode into a law enforcement mode of one port, one acceptance and one operation: First, it can actually simplify the declaration process, reduce the complexity of the declaration process, and use a single platform for declaration, eliminating The cumbersome process of multi-person, multi-client, and multi-document system operation in the past; the second is to effectively reduce the repeated entry of similar data items, and integrate the declaration data required by law enforcement agencies into a unified and standardized declaration data pool, which is the same or similar Data items only need to be entered once; the third is to realize the seamless connection of information flow between enterprises and law enforcement agencies. Enterprises can use the "single window" data collaboration interface to effectively integrate the information resources of all links in their trade supply chain and reduce Intermediate processing links reduce the data error rate; fourth, through the "port single window" interface, enterprises can complete all customs clearance procedures in a one-stop manner, avoiding rushing between various law enforcement agencies, submitting documents separately, and waiting for approval results on the spot, etc. Links, thereby saving a lot of manpower and time costs.

At the same time, comprehensively promoting the construction of a "single window" is also an international obligation that my country must fulfill as a member of the World Trade Organization. At the recently concluded World Trade Organization Bali meeting, all parties issued a statement agreeing to actively build a "single window". my country intends to list the construction of a "single window" as a type B commitment clause, that is, after the agreement takes effect on July 31, 2015 The transition period does not exceed two years for implementation. According to this commitment, my country should fully build a "single window" by the end of 2017 at the latest. At present, the Shanghai "Single Window" pilot project is expected to go online in June. Through the pilot, we will form a replicable and popularized experience in the form of the "Single Window" construction, operation mode, platform construction, and cooperation mechanism.

Part Two Improve four policies to help companies reduce operating costs

(7) Actively support the expansion of imports and stabilize exports.

While maintaining the steady growth of exports, strengthening imports has important strategic significance for the overall utilization of the two markets and resources at home and abroad and the promotion of the balanced development of foreign trade. The customs will actively participate in the research and formulation of relevant national tax policies, and actively reflect to the policy authorities and put forward relevant tax policy recommendations such as the adjustment of temporary tariff rates, the scope of export tax refund products, and the adjustment of tax refund rates. Earnestly implement various preferential import tax policies, and support the import of advanced technology equipment and key components such as digitization and intelligence. Actively provide customs clearance convenience for the import and export of fresh agricultural products, cultural products and other state-supported industries, and provide customs clearance services such as advance declaration, centralized customs declaration, and "7×24 hours" appointments, so as to speed up customs clearance inspection and release.

(8) Optimize tax collection and management, and promote the strategy of free trade zone.

The centralized tax collection system is a system that extends the collection and management space, innovates the tax collection and management model, and implements intensive collection and management measures for enterprises with good tax credit standing. Under the premise that the enterprise provides effective guarantee, the customs can inspect and release the goods after the customs declaration is correct, allowing importing enterprises to pay taxes collectively within the prescribed tax time limit, providing convenient measures for law-abiding enterprises, improving customs clearance efficiency, and reducing the pressure on capital turnover. As of the end of April 2014, 10 customs pilots have conducted centralized taxation reforms. At present, a total of 36 large enterprises have filed and used the collective taxation model. The next step is to further improve the centralized tax collection system and related information systems based on the summary and evaluation, and gradually expand the scope of application, so that more creditworthy enterprises can enjoy the convenience of tax payment. In order to ensure tax security, the General Administration of Customs will also strengthen cooperation with industry associations, refer to the People’s Bank of China’s credit evaluation system for financing guarantee institutions, and select some professional guarantee companies with good reputation to carry out tax and fee guarantee business trials at some ports.

The free trade zone strategy refers to regional economic cooperation in the form of free trade agreements (FTA). Tariff concessions in the free trade zone have promoted the deep integration of economic and trade relations between my country and free trade agreement members, effectively stimulating the growth of imports and exports. As an important part of the negotiations on the free trade zone, the Customs takes the lead in the negotiation of rules of origin, strengthens communication with industry associations, industry authorities and relevant enterprises, and scientifically formulates my country's origin policies and standards. In terms of organizing and implementing preferential trade agreement tariff reductions, through the establishment of preferential trade electronic information exchange systems, etc., improve the efficiency of customs clearance of imported goods, promote export goods to enjoy agreement preferences, reduce enterprise trade costs, improve trade efficiency and predictability, and promote enterprises Implementation of the "going out" strategy.

(9) Further standardize operational services and charges in the import and export links.

Since 2012, the General Administration of Customs has intensified its efforts to clean up the import and export links, and has successively cancelled 4 administrative charges and the printing fee for the "three bills" of the export receipt verification form, import payment form, and export declaration form tax rebate. . On this basis, in accordance with the requirements of the central government, the General Administration of Customs will focus on the relevant business service charges in the import and export links, and will clean up and rectify in accordance with the requirements of laws and administrative regulations. For charging items that implement government pricing or government-guided prices, the prescribed charging standards and scope must be strictly implemented. For charging items subject to market-adjusted price management, it is necessary to strictly follow the "Price Law" and other laws and administrative regulations, fair competition, legal operations, honesty and trustworthiness, provide clients with qualified and reasonably priced services, and strictly regulate charging behavior. Through large-scale container inspection equipment and mobile inspection individual operation system, it conforms to the laws of logistics and embeds actual logistics inspection to reduce the storage, hoisting, loading and unloading and other operational service charges related to customs inspections paid by enterprises to third parties. Actively cooperate with the competent departments of industry and commerce, commodity prices, etc., vigorously rectify problems such as fraudulent collection of wealth under the name of the customs. In addition, the General Administration of Customs will also strengthen the guidance of industry intermediary organizations such as customs brokers associations, promote their formation of a strong industry self-discipline mechanism, promote the standardized and professional construction of the customs declaration industry, and strengthen industry supervision.

(10) Cooperate and improve export tax rebate policies.

Speed up the handling of export customs clearance procedures and support enterprises to rebate taxes in a timely manner. Cooperate with the work of expanding the scope of pilot enterprises, ports and means of transportation for tax refund at the port of departure. Support the expansion of the pilot scope of export tax rebates for financing leased goods. At the same time, increase the crackdown on export fraudulent tax rebates.

Part Three Innovate three models to promote the transformation and upgrading of processing trade

(11) Establish and improve a customs supervision model that is compatible with the characteristics of service trade.

The General Administration of Customs actively supports the development of service trade such as futures bonded delivery, financial leasing, and service outsourcing. In recent years, Shanghai Yangshan Bonded Port Area, Tianjin Dongjiang Bonded Port Area and other special customs supervision areas have achieved certain results in the development of new business such as futures bonded delivery and financial leasing, and they have been fully promoted and implemented in 21 service outsourcing demonstration cities across the country. The customs bonded supervision model actively explores the establishment of a customs supervision model compatible with the characteristics of service trade. In the next step, the General Administration of Customs will actively review and evaluate the operation of various service trade supervision modes, establish and improve customs supervision modes that are compatible with the characteristics of service trade, and support the use of special customs supervision regional policy advantages to innovate the development of the productive service industry.

(12) Innovate the bonded supervision model.

Explore the use of the bonded factory model to develop productive services related to the manufacturing industry. Expand the pilot scope of a new bonded supervision model led by integrated circuit design companies. Improve the unit consumption management model and system of processing trade, and write off the actual unit consumption declared by the enterprise. The flow of bonded goods between special customs supervision areas shall be handled in accordance with the method of "distribution, collective declaration and self-transportation". Optimize customs clearance procedures for bonded goods entering and leaving the zone.

(13) Accelerate the integration and optimization of special customs supervision areas.

After more than 20 years of development, while playing a significant role in the special customs supervision area, it also faces many problems that restrict its development, and urgently needs to be integrated and optimized. The first is integration, the integration of regional types, the integration of stocks, the integration of policies, and the integration of management; the second is optimization. Through conceptual changes, system innovations and policy adjustments, efforts are made to promote the optimization of industries, trade, functions, and supervision in special customs supervision areas, and to promote special customs The regulatory area is developing in the direction of structural optimization, efficient management, diversified trade and diversified functions. Promote the integration of existing types of special customs supervision areas, select some special customs supervision areas to implement pilot projects that superimpose various types of existing special customs supervision areas, and simplify the review and acceptance process of special customs supervision areas.

Part IV Promote seven measures to improve the foreign trade environment

(14) Continue to promote streamlining administration and delegating power.

Last year, the customs cancelled and delegated 7 administrative examination and approval items, which achieved good results. For example, the cancellation of 6 approvals for processing trade, including “manual filing (change), outsourcing processing, deep processing carry-over, surplus material carry-over, verification, and abandonment of approval” has simplified the handling process, reduced the circulation of documents, and brought companies Come more convenient. In particular, the restrictions on outsourcing processing have been further liberalized, allowing enterprises to process outsourcing first and then go through the filing procedures. In principle, outsourcing processing across customs zones will no longer charge a deposit, which greatly reduces the burden on enterprises. Another example is the cancellation of the qualification approval of customs brokers, the removal of the employment threshold for customs brokers, and the release of social employment and entrepreneurial space. This year, the General Administration of Customs adjusted the administrative examination and approval items that were originally scheduled to be cancelled and delegated in 2015 to be implemented in 2014, and then cancelled and delegated 5 administrative examination and approval items during the year. Among them, the cancellation of temporary import and export approvals will play an important role in promoting the development of R&D, testing, exhibition and other productive service industries and cultural and creative industries. The administrative approval items cancelled or delegated by the customs in 2013 and 2014 exceeded 50% of the original approval items. At the same time, strictly control the number of newly established administrative approvals, clean up non-administrative approvals, further simplify customs internal approval procedures, promote the removal of complicated and simplified customs internal operating procedures, and strive to achieve "management, reduction, simplicity and convenience".

(15) Support the development of new trade platforms.

Supporting the development of new trade platforms represented by cross-border e-commerce is an important measure to seize the new commanding heights of international trade. With regard to exports, a regulatory model of "list approval, release and summary declaration" has been established to solve the problems of e-commerce retail export tax rebates, foreign exchange settlement, and special statistics. At present, more than 20 cities across the country have put forward demands, and cities such as Hangzhou, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Shenzhen, and Suzhou have launched retail export business.
