Recently, in the precision workshop of Qingdao Jimupia Jewelry Co., Ltd., workers are systematically planting trees. On the control panel, blue wax trees are neatly arranged, with gemstones of different sizes and colors growing between their branches, shining brightly under the light. Through processes such as casting, shaping, polishing, and inlaying, these dazzling ornaments "formed" on wax trees will cross the ocean and decorate the lives of consumers around the world.
Our main business is the manufacturing of K gold inlaid jewelry, mainly importing gold raw materials from South Korea, Hong Kong, and other places in China, and finely crafting them before selling them overseas. ”The deputy general manager of the company, Song Chunhua, introduced that since last year, the international gold price has continued to rise. Through the material processing mode, enterprises do not need to bear the cost of precious metal procurement, and the use of working capital alone has been reduced by about 70%.
The processing of incoming materials referred to by Song Chunhua refers to a processing trade model in which imported materials are provided by overseas enterprises, and domestic enterprises do not need to pay foreign exchange for imports, but only process and assemble them according to requirements before exporting. This model can effectively help enterprises avoid the risk of raw material price fluctuations, but it also puts forward higher requirements for customs clearance efficiency and supervision.
We have established a 'one-on-one' enterprise liaison system based on the characteristics of the jewelry processing industry, providing full process guidance for enterprises from filing, single consumption declaration to subsequent verification. We rely on 'digital customs officers' to implement' intelligent approval 'of processing trade manuals, achieving' instant reporting and approval 'and same day completion of manual filing, "said Sun Feng, Deputy Director of the Processing Trade Business Department of Huangdao Customs Enterprise Management Office under Qingdao Customs. According to statistics, by 2025, the total import and export value of jewelry processing enterprises in Qingdao West Coast New Area will exceed 1.1 billion yuan.
With the continued vitality of the "beauty economy", international jewelry orders are increasing day by day. Huangdao Customs has opened a "special channel" for the import of precious metal raw materials, implementing "on-site inspection and rapid release" to ensure zero delay in the production of raw materials and efficient transportation and export of finished products.
In the market environment of frequent fluctuations in gold prices, delivery speed directly affects competitiveness. Convenient customs clearance measures have significantly compressed our production and delivery cycles, allowing us to seize market opportunities, "said Song Chunhua.
Du Kai, Deputy Director of the Enterprise Management Department of Huangdao Customs, stated that processing trade provides an important path for enterprises to integrate resources and explore markets globally. Next, the customs will further promote the supervision mode of enterprise group processing trade, optimize the unit consumption management mechanism and other processing trade reforms, to help more enterprises gather at the high-end of the industrial chain and value chain, and win the initiative in global competition.
