Unlocking the Certificate of Origin and Benefiting from Going Global, Shijiazhuang Customs Helps Hebei Enterprises Expand and Increase Efficiency

Recently, in the production workshop of Jinshi Drilling (Tangshan) Co., Ltd., the robotic arm operates accurately, flexibly, and efficiently. On automated production lines, the super broad-spectrum drill bit X9 is continuously formed and ready for use. There is a saying in the industry that 'it's easy to go up to the sky but difficult to go down to the ground.' We have overcome the difficulties in the drilling field with our core technology, and now we have a customs certificate of origin to safeguard our journey abroad. Li Jie, deputy manager of the company's R&D center, happily introduced that this batch of exploration drilling tools worth 500000 yuan was successfully sent to South Korea and enjoyed zero tariff benefits with the certificate of origin, directly saving 27500 yuan in tariffs. The customs will accurately recommend the optimal tariff agreement based on the different countries we export to, helping us fully understand and make good use of the rules of origin, and giving enterprises more confidence and confidence in exploring overseas markets. In 2025, the company's annual export value will be 139 million yuan, and with preferential certificates of origin, it has accumulated 3.0653 million yuan in import tariff reductions. The policy dividend has become a strong support for the company to deeply cultivate the international market.
The "dividend" of certificates of origin is benefiting more and more foreign trade enterprises in Hebei. Since the beginning of this year, Shijiazhuang Customs has focused on the needs of enterprises, implemented precise policies, and taken multiple measures to assist enterprises in fully utilizing the preferential policies of free trade agreements. On the one hand, it has deeply analyzed the preferential situation of exported goods, implemented customized services for key foreign trade enterprises, accurately matched the best free trade agreements, tailored preferential schemes, and made every effort to enhance the international competitiveness of Hebei products; On the other hand, the construction of smart customs empowers foreign trade facilitation, comprehensively promotes the paperless mode of applying for certificates of origin, and builds a three in one efficient service system of "online processing+intelligent review and signing+self-service printing". At the same time, through policy preaching, declaration guidance, and "point-to-point" precise guidance and other measures, the accuracy of certificate declaration and self-service printing rate have been greatly improved. According to statistics, in January 2026, Shijiazhuang Customs issued a total of 10182 preferential certificates of origin, with a visa amount of 4.373 billion yuan, an increase of 18.24% and 23.89% year-on-year, respectively.
Next, Shijiazhuang Customs will continue to optimize the port business environment, actively connect with high-level free trade rules, comprehensively promote the application of the "China Customs Preferential Origin Service Platform", and continuously improve the intelligence and convenience level of origin visas. At the same time, we will focus on the characteristic advantageous industries of Hebei Province, promote various tariff preferential policies to be directly enjoyed and rooted, and inject customs momentum into the "Hebei goods going global to expand the market".
