The first South African hibiscus stone ticket in Henan province to enjoy the benefits of customs clearance

Recently, a batch of South African hibiscus stones declared for import by Nanyang Hongtong Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd. have successfully completed customs clearance procedures at Nanyang Customs under Zhengzhou Customs, becoming the first batch of benefited imported goods to land in Henan Province after China's comprehensive implementation of zero tariff measures for 53 African diplomatic countries.

It is reported that the value of the goods in this batch is 136000 yuan. Thanks to the zero tariff measures, the import tariff rate has been directly reduced from the original 3% to zero, and the enterprise has paid more than 4000 yuan less in tariffs, reducing its procurement costs.

This batch of South African hibiscus stones can smoothly enjoy zero tariff measures without the full guidance of customs. Customs has sorted out the policy points in advance, helped us fully understand the rules of origin and declaration process of tariff reduction, and provided efficient and convenient customs clearance services, which has truly reduced the burden on enterprises. The zero tariff dividend has given us more confidence in expanding our African mineral import business and deepening our African trade market. In the future, we will continue to increase our import business to Africa, "said Cai Qiu, the relevant person in charge of Nanyang Hongtong Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd.

To ensure the smooth implementation of zero tariff measures in Henan Province, Zhengzhou Customs provides advanced services by accurately interpreting policy core points such as tariff reductions, rules of origin, and declaration requirements, and pushing targeted benefit reminders to enterprises with potential benefits. At the same time, we will continue to optimize the customs clearance process, establish "business windows" and "green channels", and implement convenient measures such as appointment clearance, priority review, and rapid release inspection. In addition, the customs also established a management ledger for enterprises enjoying benefits, strengthened dynamic tracking and effectiveness evaluation, and timely solved various difficulties in the clearance and benefit sharing process for enterprises.

The successful customs clearance of this batch of goods marks a new policy dividend period for Henan Province's trade with Africa. Products such as food, agricultural products, rubber, leather, and gemstones are expected to further expand their import scale, bringing richer raw material supply to Henan's economic development and better realizing complementary advantages with African countries' industrial chains.
