Smart visa responds in seconds to welcome the arrival of Fujian's overseas expansion

The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not yet dissipated, and foreign trade enterprises in the land of Fujian have quickly switched from the "New Year mode" to the "production mode", with production lines running at high speed and orders being delivered intensively. In this wave of resumption of work, the "smart visa" service system for certificates of origin has become an "invisible engine" for enterprises to seize opportunities and accelerate development. With the digital customs clearance mode of "intelligent review+self-service printing", the certificate of origin, known as the "paper gold" of exports, is being transformed into real gold and silver in the hands of enterprises at an unprecedented speed, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of Fujian's foreign trade and helping to achieve a "good start" in the new year.

Instant review and signing of 'paper gold' for Fujian enterprises to compete for 'fresh' opportunities overseas

On the first day of resumption of work after the Spring Festival, in the factory area of Chenda Additive Manufacturing (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. located in Jimei District, Xiamen, a busy scene was seen: customs personnel completed certificate printing with just a few clicks of the mouse in the office area, and in the 3D printing workshop hundreds of meters away, machines roared and equipment was fully turned on. Workers were rushing to produce a batch of customized industrial components for Southeast Asia. With the certificate of origin issued by Xiamen Customs for the China ASEAN Free Trade Area, this batch of goods can enjoy tariff reduction when cleared in Indonesia, and it is expected to save the enterprise over 300000 yuan in tariff costs throughout the year. Thanks to efficient customs clearance and tariff dividends, new overseas orders received by enterprises after the holiday increased by 200% year-on-year, ushering in a "good start".

This is just a microcosm of the rapid recovery after the Fujian Foreign Trade Festival. In various parts of Fujian, many export enterprises also enjoy the convenience of customs clearance brought by smart visas. In the first week after the holiday, Fuzhou and Xiamen Customs issued certificates of origin for nearly 3.4 billion yuan worth of exported goods. In January and February of this year, a total of 74000 certificates of origin were issued by the two customs, with a value of nearly 30 billion yuan, an increase of 23% and 16.8% respectively year-on-year, providing strong support for the steady start of Fujian's foreign trade.

Dividends are accurately 'pocketed', emerging industries become blue oceans

The policy dividends of smart visas are accelerating to the forefront of the industry chain, injecting tangible momentum for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and explore international markets. In the Xianyou Economic Development Zone of Putian City, Fujian Sailong Technology Co., Ltd. has a green fiber production workshop with an annual output of 100000 tons. The automated production line is operating at full capacity, and the waste bottles and textile waste undergo multiple processes such as sorting, cleaning, melting, and spinning to complete the green transformation from "waste" to "treasure", becoming high-quality textile raw materials such as polyester filament and composite yarn. The enterprise staff submitted an application through the system, and this batch of products was quickly approved for the certificate of origin and will soon be shipped to countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia. Previously, obtaining a certificate of origin required a dedicated window, which was time-consuming and time-consuming. Now, it can be completed in as fast as 5 minutes, "said Ms. Chen, the customs officer in charge of the company, as she skillfully completed a self-service application for the certificate in front of the computer." In just one year, we can save nearly 100000 yuan in labor and transportation costs. Now the process is smooth, and I feel at ease. I am even more determined to accept foreign orders

At present, Fuzhou and Xiamen Customs have fully implemented "7 × 24 hour" intelligent auditing. Enterprises can submit certificate applications at any time, and the system automatically conducts second level audits and provides real-time feedback on results. By combining self-service printing terminals with wide coverage and 24/7 availability, enterprises can truly achieve the goal of "staying at home and obtaining certificates", effectively solving the pain points of customs clearance such as urgent export orders and tight shipping schedules, and turning the vision of "more data running and less enterprise running" into reality.

Drip irrigation service solves problems, enterprises work together to escort the 'sea route'

In order to better unleash the dividends of the free trade agreement and help Fujian enterprises steadily seize international market opportunities, Fuzhou and Xiamen Customs continue to deepen reforms, implement precise policies, and optimize the visa service system. On the one hand, simplify the visa process for low-risk products, implement a "daily clearing and settlement" review mechanism, and ensure "zero backlog" during peak export periods; On the other hand, we will comprehensively promote self-service evidence collection and self-service delivery services to achieve certificate "24/7" on-demand pickup. At the same time, in response to pain points such as complex rules of origin and easy errors in enterprise declarations, the customs have embedded AI intelligent filling assistants in the declaration end to provide real-time reminders of standard points, greatly improving the first-time declaration pass rate.

In addition, Fuzhou and Xiamen Customs actively expand policy promotion channels, relying on new media platforms to set up special columns such as "Origin Classroom" and "Free Trade Dividend Express", regularly pushing policy interpretations, case studies, and practical guides to help enterprises timely grasp the latest tax reduction arrangements and agreement rules, so that more small and medium-sized enterprises can "understand policies, apply them, and enjoy dividends".

Next, Fuzhou and Xiamen Customs will continue to deepen the reform of origin visa services and promote
