China News Service: Shanghai Customs' Efficient Handling of One Thing 'Upgrades Again
In September of this year, Shanghai Customs focused on the high-frequency needs of enterprises and the public, and took the lead in launching "efficient one-stop" application projects such as customs declaration form modification and withdrawal, departure tax refund, and inbound and outbound mail collection and delivery, promoting the transformation of services from "offline" to "online". Now that the project has been implemented for 2 months, the results have been significant - more than 20000 enterprises have opened blockchain digital identity (DID) authentication, online handling of customs declaration form modification and cancellation business, and processing efficiency has been improved by more than twice; The measure of "packaging and coding" for departure tax refunds has been replicated and promoted to other commercial districts in the Yangtze River Delta region, with Shanghai Customs accounting for more than half of the national total for departure tax refund verification; The "one-stop" processing platform for inbound and outbound mail has completed mail declarations for nearly 9000 recipients and senders, saving nearly 250000 yuan in customs clearance costs.
Recently, Shanghai Customs has launched an upgraded version of its service, which includes three "one thing" projects: online application, convenient customs clearance for imported cosmetics samples, and economic first release of consumer goods. With the reform breakthroughs of intelligence, reduced links, and no procedures, it continues to provide practical solutions and solve problems for enterprises and the public.
Proactively disclosing online application for 'one thing': 'three modernizations services' crack offline pain points, policy dividends accelerate release
Since the proactive disclosure of business operations, although face-to-face communication has been possible for offline applications, the lack of real-time collaborative support for companies to submit materials on-site and for customs officers to review complex issues is an urgent problem that needs to be optimized.
In response to these challenges, Shanghai Customs has launched a proactive disclosure online application "one thing" to achieve service upgrades through "three transformations for three hearts": firstly, the "standardized" process allows enterprises to rest assured, the system clarifies the requirements and required information for each step of filling out, and even beginners can operate smoothly, meeting the needs of large enterprises for "one-stop external and independent submission"; Secondly, "convenient" handling allows enterprises to save time. Customs officers can directly inform them of the materials that need to be supplemented during online audits, using data to run errands instead of running errands for enterprises, achieving the goal of "running at most once" or even "not running at all once"; The third is "quality optimization" collaboration, which allows enterprises to feel at ease. Customs officers can easily seek help from the business management department when encountering complex problems, and solve problems accurately through "expert consultation". After trying out the online mode, Doctor Audio Visual System (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has provided feedback that they can now complete the process of actively disclosing relevant business without leaving their homes, which avoids the company from repeatedly rushing around for a problem or a document, significantly improving the efficiency of communication with relevant enterprises.
It is worth noting that on October 11th of this year, the "Announcement on Handling Matters Related to Proactively Disclosing Tax Violations" (Announcement No. 194) was officially implemented, further relaxing the exemption time limit and optimizing the exemption conditions. The dual assistance of online application and new policies will continue to release the dividends of proactive disclosure policies.
Convenient customs clearance for imported cosmetics samples: Three measures to accelerate research and development, helping to build an industrial highland
New beauty products have strong seasonality, and waiting an extra day may miss the golden period of launch. To this end, Shanghai Customs has made efforts in inspection, supervision, and service to provide integrated services for cross-border research and development of beauty products. In terms of reducing inspection burden, laboratory testing and research and development cosmetics samples that meet the conditions are exempt from Chinese label inspection and laboratory sampling inspection, with an average compression time exceeding 50%; In terms of risk classification, establish a "enterprise credit+sample risk" classification mechanism, strengthen post supervision for enterprises with standardized management and long-term imported samples, and provide the best customs clearance treatment; On the online service, relying on the "Internet plus+Customs" platform, it provides "integrated" services such as business guidance, online application and real-time query. The operation director of L'Oreal China R&D and Innovation Center, who has tried out the new policy, said, "Under this mode, sample clearance is faster and more labor-saving. Not only do paper materials no longer need to be submitted, but label information is simpler, and overall clearance efficiency is greatly improved. Normally, clearance can be done on the same day
Consumer goods debut economy "one thing": "whitelist+differentiation" model, launching the "debut Shanghai" brand
As the largest import port for consumer goods and the core carrier of the first launch economy in China, Shanghai has an urgent demand from enterprises for "fast and non-destructive" customs clearance of first launch products. Shanghai Customs has responded effectively to the needs of enterprises through "open door to listen to opinions, open door to grasp reforms, and open door to seek long-term results".
After 9 rounds of enterprise research and thorough study, we have pioneered the "whitelist+differentiated qualification assessment" model. Local commerce departments recommend key enterprises and new products, and customs implements safety risk assessment and classification supervision. The first exhibition and small batch of new products with 20 pieces or less can be quickly released through "qualification guarantee"; More than 20 items can be quickly inspected and released with laboratory reports and a "qualified guarantee". At present, the "whitelist" has included 27 multinational brand headquarters, 44 internationally renowned brands, and over 20000 first release consumer goods. Shanghai Futengbao Enterprise Development Co., Ltd. is one of the pilot enterprises. This year, its well-known brand WMF's Nai Cai Mi series has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. The person in charge of import and export said, "The launch of consumer goods in the economy is like a timely rain. The first batch of 19 Nai Cai Mi products, totaling 2700 new products, completed testing before import and smoothly enjoyed the convenience measures of exemption from sampling, saving customs clearance time by one week." As of the end of October, 1656 shipments and 4392 batches of goods have compressed customs clearance time by about 80% through convenience measures, injecting momentum into Shanghai's efforts to build an international consumer center city benchmark.
