This year, Tianjin Customs increased the cultivation of international advanced enterprise certification, helped enterprises obtain international passes, enjoyed customs clearance convenience measures, and helped the smooth operation of the city’s foreign trade.
Further unblock China’s international “double cycle”. At present, China has signed customs mutual recognition cooperation agreements with 48 countries and regions. Enterprises with international advanced certification can enjoy trade facilitation measures such as reducing the inspection rate, giving priority to the customs clearance of import and export goods, rapid customs clearance and applying for exemption from guarantee when passing through the customs under the mutual recognition agreement. There are more than 300 enterprises in Tianjin, which have obtained advanced certification. This year, Tianjin Customs focused on building a supervision mechanism based on credit management to include more qualified enterprises in the certification list.
Nine Dragons Paper, located in Ninghe Economic Development Zone, is a leading enterprise in the paper industry. Since last year, enterprises have regularly imported recycled pulp as an alternative commodity to recycled paper from abroad. Affected by the epidemic, the shipping schedule can not be guaranteed, coupled with the long stacking cycle, the inventory of raw materials is often in short supply.
Nine Dragons Paper has low asset liability ratio, good credit status and high security level. With the assistance of the customs, the enterprise has passed the audit of the World Customs Organization and obtained the international senior enterprise certification. In early February, they imported 2500 tons of recycled pulp, loaded it from foreign ports and transshipped it through Hong Kong. Along the way, they enjoyed 19 categories and 49 measures, such as reducing the inspection rate and giving priority to handling customs clearance procedures. A week earlier than before, the cargo ship of raw materials arrived at Tianjin Port Co.Ltd(600717) . The local Ninghe customs also immediately sent coordinators to assist enterprises in going through customs clearance and inspection procedures.
At the same time, Ninghe customs also helps to apply for tax collection and convenient tax payment qualification according to the categories of raw materials, so as to realize the release of goods before tax payment. Then, through the “direct delivery at the side of the ship” and other convenience measures, the customs clearance time of goods will be further reduced to 3 hours. Next, Tianjin Customs will establish a training base for advanced enterprise certification, strengthen the cultivation, and plan to cultivate 320 international advanced certification enterprises throughout the year.
