Recently, a batch of 26 tons of imported bonded natural rubber from Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. was loaded under the supervision of Yantai Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, and is ready to be sent to its Shandong Dezhou branch. This is the 15th batch of bonded goods transfer carried out by the company since the beginning of this year.

Thanks to the regulatory model of enterprise group processing and trade, our group's bonded materials can now be freely circulated in multiple branches in China, "said Wang Litao, Business Manager of Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd.

In response to the characteristics of the pillar industries of the county-level economy and the needs of foreign trade enterprises, Yantai Customs under Qingdao Customs has studied and adapted relevant facilitation measures to bridge the "last mile" of the implementation of policies that benefit the people and enterprises, allowing more enterprises to enjoy policy dividends.

In early March 2026, Yantai Customs formulated the "List of Key Projects to Support the High Quality Development of Foreign Trade in Zhaoyuan City in 2026", which sorted out 6 major and 12 measures to promote the expansion of enterprise group supervision mode and enrich and improve the functions of bonded warehouses.

"In the list, the processing trade model of enterprise groups is particularly practical for enterprises with large group operations and annual processing trade volume." Zhang Yusheng, Deputy Director of the Zhaoyuan Office of Yantai Customs, introduced that this model will transform the processing trade outside the zone from manual management based on contracts and account book management based on enterprises to a new regulatory model based on enterprise groups, which can effectively promote the free flow of bonded materials among group enterprises.

In the past, our company wanted to use our subsidiary to alleviate the pressure on tire processing and trade capacity, which required outsourcing processing. Due to the large amount involved and the relatively high guarantee deposit, now only one account book is needed for Zhaoyuan Company to transfer bonded materials with the subsidiary, and outsourcing processing business does not require a guarantee deposit, reducing financial pressure. "Wang Litao introduced that since the beginning of this year, the company has transferred materials worth 30.61 million yuan to the subsidiary, and the production capacity has been fully utilized.

The list focuses on key pillar industries such as deep processing of peas and gold processing in Zhaoyuan City, and fully supports the healthy development of these industries through precise measures. In terms of deep processing of peas, a priority inspection and appointment inspection system is implemented for pea raw materials, achieving "immediate inspection upon arrival" and "immediate release upon inspection", to ensure the stability of the supply chain through rapid inspection and release.

The measures taken by the customs are very close to the actual situation of our pea processing enterprise. All of our pea raw materials are imported, and the speed of raw material supply directly determines the resilience of the industrial chain. For us, speed is safety, "said Li Xueyun, the business manager of Yantai Dingfeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Measures such as early declaration and" cloud issuance "of quarantine certificates have brought great convenience to enterprises. Business 24-hour online application, system automatic document review, and electronic certificate issuance have significantly improved customs clearance convenience. The import and export value of enterprises in the first five months of this year was 130 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 39.6%.

Pan Lei, Deputy Director of the Commerce Bureau of Zhaoyuan City, stated that the 12 measures focus on Zhaoyuan's characteristic industries, covering multiple aspects such as bonded business, customs clearance convenience, credit cultivation, and smart logistics. They have strong pertinence and operability, truly transforming the "policy dividends" into "development momentum" for enterprises.

In the first five months of this year, the import and export value of Zhaoyuan's three characteristic industries of gold, peas, and tires exceeded 9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. (Dong Lichen, Zheng Lina/Wen)
