Is the export of the product stuck? Faced with overseas technical trade barriers, Beijing does this——
Foreign trade enterprises go abroad and win overseas orders, but are stuck in various technical rules overseas? The new foreign standards, entry barriers, and certification requirements are difficult to understand and grasp, which can easily lead to technical trade barriers, order obstacles, and export setbacks.
Don't panic! The "Five Haves" technology and trade service model in Beijing provides full chain support for enterprises to go global and helps them cross the "invisible threshold" of overseas markets!
In order to break down the technical trade barriers for foreign trade enterprises to explore overseas markets, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, based on the development characteristics of high-precision and cutting-edge industries in the capital, coordinates the quality infrastructure resources of standards, metrology, inspection and testing, certification and accreditation throughout the entire chain, innovatively constructs a "policy backed, multi-party supported, service sinking, precise assistance, and standard guidance" technology and trade service model, and provides escort for foreign trade enterprises in the city to set sail overseas.
01. Policy support - two-way support from policy funds to build a solid foundation for compliant development
Relying on the annual coordination mechanism of the Capital Standardization Committee, Beijing has incorporated the construction of a technical trade measures system, international standard connectivity, and response to overseas barriers into the city's key work coordination and deployment, clearly defining the division of responsibilities, work tasks, and implementation paths of each unit. At the same time, special subsidies and support will be provided to the capital's standardization strategy for enterprises participating in international standard development, international standard organization cooperation, and overseas standard landing and transformation projects. In the past three years, a total of 33.75 million yuan in subsidies have been issued, fully mobilizing enterprises to actively participate in the construction of international standards, forming a benign work pattern of "policy guidance, financial incentives, enterprise initiative, and social participation".
02. With multi-party support - building a multi-party collaborative mechanism to gather the power to assist enterprises in providing services
Beijing innovatively builds a "4+16+X" three-dimensional collaborative work mechanism that is vertically connected, horizontally coordinated, and covers the entire area, and connects multiple channels to assist enterprises in providing services.
'4' refers to the establishment of a normalized mechanism for information sharing, joint analysis, and collaborative efforts among the four departments of the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, and Beijing Customs, to simultaneously address the diverse demands of enterprises for customs clearance, industrial development, and compliance consulting; '16' refers to the comprehensive implementation of 'technology and trade measures into clusters' in collaboration with the market supervision bureaus of the 16 districts in the city, allowing professional services to directly reach various industrial parks and clusters; X "refers to the linkage of universities, research institutes, industry associations, leading enterprises, testing and certification institutions, the integration of expert think tanks and technical resources, and the establishment of a city wide collaborative service network for technical trade measures.
03. Service sinking - professional services landing in the park, accurately matching the needs of the industry
Focusing on the development needs of industrial clusters, this city has established five specialized technical trade measures public service stations, integrating all elements of standards, metrology, testing, and certification, to achieve "one-stop acceptance and one-stop solution" for enterprise demands, one station, one industry, and precise matching of enterprise needs, transforming "enterprises looking for services" into "services delivered to the doorstep".
Haidian District Zhongguancun Dongsheng Science and Technology Park and Zhongguancun Comprehensive Bonded Zone Technical Trade Measures Public Service Park Service Station, focusing on artificial intelligence, digital industries, etc., regularly pushing overseas warnings, interpreting international access standards, and resolving barriers for digital enterprises to go global; Changping District has set up a public service station for technical trade measures of Changfa Group and the International Chamber of Commerce to carry out policy research and judgment around the export of medical devices, prepare compliance guidelines, and help domestic medical devices to develop the "the Belt and Road" market; Shunyi District, relying on the advantages of air economy and free trade zones, has established a Sino German (European) technical trade measures public service station, integrated China Europe standard resources, and provided customized consultation and risk warning for high-end manufacturing hidden champions and small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises.
04. With precise assistance - dual track online and offline operations to alleviate the difficulties of enterprises going global
Relying on both online platforms and offline service stations, Beijing provides four services for enterprises, including research, warning, evaluation, and training, to solve the problem of going global for enterprises.
Conduct in-depth industry research and develop exclusive compliance guidelines for enterprises
Regular visits and research were conducted on key export industries such as medical devices and biomedicine, resulting in a research report that systematically outlines the development trends and response paths of technology and trade measures in the next five years. At the same time, prepare industry risk reports and export technology guidelines to accurately match the compliance transformation needs of enterprises.
Real time risk warning, push overseas new regulations in the first time
Relying on the official account of "Capital Standards Network", an early warning channel will be set up. In 2025, all kinds of WTO technical trade bulletins will be forwarded, and risk alerts will be pushed in accordance with the industry type, so that enterprises can grasp the new rules of the target market at the first time and avoid export losses due to delayed information.
Proactively report and evaluate, and uphold industrial rights and interests in accordance with international rules
Organize industry experts and leading enterprises to conduct evaluations on unreasonable foreign technical regulations. By 2025, complete the evaluation of six overseas measures including Saudi Arabia and Russia, promote the inclusion of four industry concerns related to electric vehicles and vehicle safety into WTO special trade attention, and actively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of local industries in international rules.
Carry out public welfare training to enhance the independent response capability of enterprises
Throughout the year, more than 70 public welfare training sessions were held to assist enterprises in exporting through standard certification, providing thousands of foreign trade enterprises with practical knowledge on international rules, low-carbon compliance, and barrier response. This helped small and medium-sized enterprises improve their ability to cope independently and fill the gaps in compliance.
05. Guided by standards - Smooth international communication channels, enhance industrial competitiveness
The dual wheel drive model of standard internationalization and foreign-related certification integration has made a series of progress, continuously enhancing the global competitiveness of the capital's industries.
Smooth integration of domestic and international standards
Based on the Zhongguancun Forum International Exchange Platform, a parallel forum on standardization and technological innovation development will be held to showcase the practical achievements of standards empowering foreign trade development through examples of advantageous industries such as high-speed rail and new energy going global, and to establish a channel for normalized docking of domestic and foreign standards.
Promote the globalization of Beijing standards
At present, Beijing has approved six national standard overseas application pilot projects, which have landed in countries such as Panama, Malaysia, and Germany, promoting the adaptation of characteristic industry standards such as new energy, low altitude economy, and Beidou application to overseas markets, and helping enterprises expand into international markets.
Reduce the cost of going global for enterprises
There are already 42 testing and certification institutions in the city that have overseas accreditation qualifications. Leading institutions have established cooperative relationships with compliance agencies in multiple countries and set up overseas branches to provide one-stop cross-border testing, certification, and compliance technical support for export enterprises, continuously reducing cross-border trade costs for enterprises.
