The first China ASEAN Free Trade Area mobility certificate issued in Zhejiang

On March 7th, the customs of the bonded zone under Ningbo Customs successfully issued the first China ASEAN Free Trade Zone mobile certificate for Ningbo Zhejin Steel Co., Ltd. in Zhejiang Province. This certificate not only directly saved the enterprise more than 200000 US dollars in tariff costs, but also enhanced the enterprise's ability to enjoy customs clearance benefits for goods in the ASEAN region.

The China ASEAN Free Trade Area Movement Certificate is a type of certificate of origin used to confirm that goods originating from ASEAN member countries, when transported through China's customs to other member countries of the China ASEAN Free Trade Area, are always under customs supervision and have not undergone any other processing or handling except for loading, unloading, and handling. Based on this proof, the goods can enjoy corresponding free trade agreement tariff preferences in the final importing country, effectively reducing customs clearance costs and enhancing the competitiveness of the products in the ASEAN market.

It is understood that this certificate involves the goods being coking coal, imported from Indonesia, and sold to the Vietnamese market after transit in the bonded zone. Without this proof, the cost of customs clearance would squeeze profits, and our pricing advantage would be greatly reduced. Now that we have proof of mobility, customers can directly enjoy tariff reductions, and our price competitiveness has significantly increased. Our trade operations are also more flexible, and we have more confidence in our development, "said Lin Xufeng, the manager of Ningbo Zhejiang Gold.

Ningbo Customs will focus on the actual needs of enterprises, continuously optimize the origin visa service, increase policy promotion and targeted assistance, promote various preferential policies for enterprises to directly enjoy, and help more foreign trade enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, and expand international markets.
