On March 30th, a batch of lithium battery energy storage cabinets were exported to the Zhuhai Gaolan Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone, marking the first time that lithium battery goods have entered the zone. According to market demand, this batch of goods will be stored and consolidated in the area before being exported again to countries such as Bulgaria and Hungary, providing customers with high-quality energy storage services.

Goods manufacturer Haibosichuang is a leading enterprise in domestic electrochemical energy storage systems. Its main energy storage products belong to the "new three types" of foreign trade and are the "main force" of green trade.

Energy storage products have large volume and high value, and have special requirements for storage conditions and customs clearance time. Entering the zone for warehousing can not only enjoy policy dividends, but also rely on the advantages of district port linkage, resulting in higher customs clearance efficiency. "Yang Yanhui, General Manager of Haibosichuang Logistics Supply Chain, said that the company plans to carry out warehousing, distribution and other businesses of energy storage systems and related supporting products in the comprehensive bonded zone this time.

Based on the characteristics of lithium battery products, Gaolan Customs has launched targeted services and tailored regulatory plans for each product. From policy guidance before goods enter the zone, to promoting the optimization and transformation of yard layout, and opening up a 'green channel' in the customs clearance process, the clearance time of goods has been greatly reduced, and the operating costs of enterprises have also decreased synchronously, "said Ling Defang, the head of the fifth department of Gaolan Customs Supervision under Gongbei Customs.

Since the beginning of this year, Gaolan Customs has deepened reforms such as the integration of tax exemption and bonded policies, continued to expand the application scope of innovative measures such as the pilot program for value-added tax general taxpayer qualifications, and continued to serve the high-quality development of Gaolan Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone. According to statistics, from January to February this year, the first line import and export of Gaolan Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone reached 1.21 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.7 times.
