Accurately empowering new quality productivity, escorting national borders with intelligent manufacturing

Accurately Empowering New Quality Productivity, Guarding the Gateway with Intelligent Manufacturing - Yinchuan Customs Optimize Services to Support High Quality Development of Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Ningxia

Advanced manufacturing is the foundation of the real economy and the main battlefield for cultivating new quality productivity. General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued important instructions on the development of advanced manufacturing industry, emphasizing the need to "continue to expand and strengthen advanced manufacturing industry, enhance the independent and controllable level of the industrial chain, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing industry as the backbone, consolidate and strengthen the foundation of the real economy, and provide strong support for promoting Chinese style modernization." Yinchuan Customs closely follows the strategy of building a strong manufacturing country and the deployment of Ningxia's industrial development zone, based on its national supervision and service functions, accurately connects with the development needs of key advanced manufacturing industries such as high-end equipment, silicon-based new materials, modern chemical industry, and biomanufacturing in the whole region, takes hardcore measures such as regulatory innovation, process reengineering, policy empowerment, and channel efficiency improvement, accurately solves the import and export bottlenecks and difficulties of inland manufacturing industry, and fully safeguards the upgrading and global development of "Ningxia Intelligent Manufacturing".

A preliminary ruling provides a "reassurance pill" for high-end equipment going abroad

Entering the production workshop of Ningxia Shared Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., independently developed industrial casting sand mold 3D printing equipment are being assembled in an orderly manner and will soon be sent to overseas markets. As a leading enterprise in high-end intelligent equipment manufacturing in Northwest China, Sharing Group has been deeply involved in the fields of additive manufacturing and intelligent casting for many years. Its self-developed intelligent equipment has fast iteration and cutting-edge technology, and many products are industry firsts. However, it has long faced the problem of no mature customs classification reference.

In February 2026, the new export equipment of the enterprise faced the risk of uncertain customs clearance and hindered overseas order delivery due to technological innovation, special structure, and vague classification and definition. Focusing on the practical difficulties of "fast innovation, new technology, and high customs clearance risks" for enterprises, Yinchuan Customs has changed the traditional mode of "enterprise declaration and customs review" to "early intervention, pre judgment, and full process escort". Customs officers have repeatedly gone deep into the production line, comparing equipment structure, core principles, and technical parameters item by item, and collaborating with experts from the General Administration of Customs Tax Management Bureau to carefully discuss and issue a "Customs Pre ruling Decision" in accordance with the law, clarifying the classification of goods, with a validity period of 3 years and nationwide applicability, and guiding enterprises to declare in a standardized manner, completely eliminating the hidden dangers of customs clearance for new product exports of enterprises.

Relying on this long-term compliance guarantee, since 2026, the enterprise has exported a total of 7 batches of 3D printing equipment with a value of over 22 million yuan, providing Ningxia with peace of mind for innovative research and development of high-end intelligent equipment and more confidence in overseas market development.

Innovation in inspection mode to safeguard the quality of silicon-based new materials

If the export of intelligent equipment requires policy guidance, then the development of the precision semiconductor new material industry cannot be separated from the precise innovation of regulatory models. As a key track for advanced manufacturing in Ningxia, the silicon-based semiconductor new materials industry gathers the core scientific and technological innovation resources of the entire region and carries the achievements of the Fujian Ningxia cooperative industry.

Ningxia Dunyuan Juxin Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. is based on the semiconductor industry chain and provides supporting consumables for semiconductor manufacturing. The core raw materials required for enterprise production, such as quartz crucibles and high-purity quartz ore, rely on imports, and have extremely high requirements for storage, transportation, and inspection environment cleanliness. Under the traditional mode, incoming goods need to be inspected and unpacked at the port. Dust and impurities in the port environment can easily contaminate vacuum sealed materials, causing them to be scrapped or reworked for cleaning, driving up production costs and disrupting continuous production plans.

Yinchuan Customs adheres to the concept of timely supervision and precise empowerment, based on the special needs of the semiconductor industry, and implements a high-tech goods control and inspection mode such as vacuum packaging. The inspection operation is moved from the port to the local area for implementation. Customs officers conduct on-site verification in the enterprise workshop, without breaking the vacuum sealed packaging, achieving "zero contact, zero pollution, zero damage" inspection and avoiding precision material loss while strictly adhering to the regulatory bottom line. The customs clearance efficiency and comprehensive logistics cost of single shipment goods have been reduced by more than 50%, ensuring stable supply of core raw materials and continuous operation of production lines, injecting customs momentum into the stable and strong chain of advanced manufacturing of silicon-based new materials in Ningxia.

Establish customs supervision stations to safeguard the development of fine chemicals

Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base is a national level modern coal chemical industry demonstration zone approved by the State Council. Ten years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally inspected and issued the great call of "socialism is achieved through hard work". As the "Number One Project" of Ningxia's economic development, Ningdong Base continues to promote industrial upgrading and has become the core carrier area and outward oriented industrial agglomeration highland of Ningxia's modern coal chemical advanced manufacturing industry.

Affected by the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, the global energy and chemical supply chain pattern is accelerating its restructuring, and the demand for stable and reliable coal chemical and fine chemical products in the international market continues to grow. With the mature modern coal chemical industry foundation, the Ningdong base has ushered in a major opportunity to explore overseas markets. In order to accurately empower the high-end transformation of national industrial bases and fill the gaps in foreign trade customs clearance, Yinchuan Customs implements the work requirements of "strong functions, strong services, strong innovation, and strong effectiveness". In April 2026, a customs supervision service station will be established in Ningdong Base to undertake 22 high-frequency customs services in 8 aspects, including enterprise filing, local inspection, and customs clearance consultation. Customs services will be delivered to the front line of the park, breaking down the time and space barriers of "park production and urban affairs", and realizing that high-end fine chemical enterprises can complete customs clearance and inspection services "without leaving the park".

In recent years, Yinchuan Customs has focused on the requirements of "safety control" in dangerous goods supervision, taking smart supervision and innovative supervision as breakthroughs. It has successively launched supervision models such as "5+2" green inspection channel, remote local inspection, and "batch inspection", supporting backbone enterprises such as high credit rating manufacturing and fine chemical industry to enjoy convenient measures such as priority inspection and testing, and fully supporting high-level opening up of local foreign trade. According to statistics, from January to September this year, Yinchuan Customs supervised a total of 226 million yuan worth of hazardous chemicals exported from the Ningdong region, a year-on-year increase of 250.24%. It continued to unleash the vitality of foreign trade in the Ningdong base, practicing the great call of "socialism is achieved through hard work" with practical achievements, and escorting Ningxia's fine chemical new materials industry to climb up the value chain and steadily explore international markets.

Connect the railway sea intermodal transportation and pave the way for the export of biological manufacturing products

Open inland, prioritize the passage. Ningxia is located in the northwest inland, and its logistics channels and customs clearance modes directly determine the foreign trade competitiveness of its characteristic manufacturing industry. In response to the pain points of large bulk cargo volume, long transportation chain, and high port transfer costs in Ningxia's biomanufacturing industry, Yinchuan Customs continues to deepen the reform of multimodal transport supervision and reconstruct the inland sea clearance system.

In the past, when Ningxia Yipin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. exported bio fermented products such as L-lysine hydrochloride, they needed to be transported through domestic trade to the port for customs declaration and inspection. Multiple loading and unloading and port uncertainty inspections during the process not only increased the risk of cargo damage, but also increased the logistics transportation and time costs of the enterprise. In order to overcome the geographical disadvantage and open up sea channels, Yinchuan Customs has fully implemented the new mode of "railway sea intermodal transportation" for customs clearance. Foreign trade enterprises can complete the entire declaration and inspection process in Ningxia, and railway direct ports can be quickly released.

On September 3rd, 81 tons of L-lysine hydrochloride with a value of 72900 US dollars exported by the enterprise completed local customs declaration and inspection at Xingqing Customs, and was transported directly to Tianjin Port by railway, achieving the first "Yinchuan local control railway consolidation port direct loading". The new customs clearance logistics model pre processes the inspection process in the local area, eliminating risks such as secondary port inspections, cargo delays, and shipping delays. This has opened up a stable and efficient international logistics channel for the large-scale and normalized export of Ningxia's biological manufacturing products.

Tax and fee dividends combined with free trade agreements provide two-way empowerment for reducing industrial burden and increasing efficiency

The improvement and upgrading of advanced manufacturing industry relies on imported equipment and raw materials to support technology research and development and production line iteration, as well as on exporting products to explore global markets. Yinchuan Customs will coordinate and make good use of two types of policy tools, namely tax reduction and exemption, and certificate of origin, and work in both directions to reduce the burden and increase efficiency for advanced manufacturing enterprises in Ningxia and seize international market opportunities.

At the import end, Yinchuan Customs, in conjunction with multiple departments such as finance, development and reform, and industry and information technology, has established a collaborative publicity mechanism to accurately implement the 15th Five Year Plan tax reduction and exemption policies, and the tax and fee dividends directly reach key links such as enterprise technological transformation, scientific research, and production expansion. From January to September this year, more than 40 tax reduction and exemption audits have been confirmed, with nearly 8.5 million yuan in tariff and value-added tax reductions, including nearly 1.5 million yuan in integrated circuit reductions and nearly 1.7 million yuan in encouraged project reductions. This has continuously reduced the cost of introducing advanced equipment and conducting technological breakthroughs for enterprises, helped them continuously improve their research and development capabilities, and solidified their core competitiveness in advanced manufacturing; Proactively connecting with universities within the area, providing precise guidance for the reduction of nearly 5.3 million yuan in science and technology innovation related expenses, and assisting universities in introducing a batch of high-end analytical and testing equipment.

At the export end, the certificate of origin is known as the "tariff pass" for domestic products to explore overseas markets. On May 12th, Ningxia Tianyuan Manganese Industry Co., Ltd. successfully exported electrolytic manganese worth 5 million yuan to Vietnam after obtaining the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin. This batch of goods can enjoy a 5% tariff reduction in the importing country, with an expected tariff reduction of 250000 yuan, effectively reducing the tax pressure on overseas buyers and stabilizing overseas market orders. In response to the export demand of key industries such as silicon-based new materials, manganese based new materials, high-end equipment, and biomanufacturing, Yinchuan Customs has established a technical service team for origin, actively preaching free trade agreement policies, conducting pre examination of origin rules, providing guidance on visa business, promoting intelligent verification and self-service printing of origin certificates, achieving paperless visa processing, and helping enterprises accurately tap the benefits of tariff reduction. According to statistics, from January to September this year, Yinchuan Customs issued a total of 7834 certificates of origin of various types, with a visa amount of 613 million US dollars, an increase of 18.34% and 29.48% respectively year-on-year, continuously enhancing the price competitiveness of "Made in China" in the international market, and opening up a tariff dividend channel for advanced manufacturing products in Ningxia to sail overseas.
