Guangming Daily: Shanghai's import and export value to ASEAN exceeded 530.3 billion yuan in the first ten months of this year

According to Shanghai Customs information, benefiting from the tariff reduction policy dividends of the China ASEAN Free Trade Agreement and customs facilitation measures, Shanghai's import and export value to ASEAN reached 530.31 billion yuan in the first 10 months of this year, an increase of 12.6%; Shanghai Customs issued a total of 159000 China ASEAN preferential certificates of origin, with a value of 72.52 billion yuan, accounting for 29.4% of the total export visas issued during the same period.

From high-end chemicals to fresh fruits, from automatic certificate of origin verification "instant signing" to "same day customs clearance and sales" for imported fresh produce, and then to the "acceleration" of processing and trade enterprises on the ASEAN track, Shanghai Customs has accelerated trade between China and ASEAN by building a digital and integrated customs clearance service system and precise policy implementation, continuously injecting momentum into the deep integration of regional industrial and supply chains.

The digital services of customs make the Asia Pacific supply chain more smooth and controllable, "said Wu Chongqing, the Chief Operating Officer of Qihuadun China. Recently, under the guidance of Shanghai Pudong Customs under the jurisdiction of Shanghai Customs, Qihuadun Daily Flavor&Fragrance (essence) Co., Ltd. submitted an application through the "single window" of international trade, and in just 20 minutes, it printed out the China ASEAN preferential certificate of origin by itself. With this certificate, a batch of essence and spices worth 1.838 million yuan exported to Indonesia by the company can enjoy tariff reduction of nearly 120000 yuan from the importing country.

In order to improve visa efficiency, Shanghai Pujiang Customs, a subsidiary of Shanghai Customs, takes the construction of a smart customs as the driving force, continuously promotes the intelligent review and self-service printing of certificates of origin, and realizes the "7 × 24 hours" all-weather "second level review and signing" and "stay at home" visa issuance of certificates of origin.

The clearance of fresh agricultural products has also accelerated. In order to improve the clearance efficiency of imported fruits, Qingpu Customs under Shanghai Customs has established a linkage mechanism of "online declaration+on-site inspection", and collaborated with Xijiao International to build an integrated system of "inspection+warehousing+trading". Qualified fruits are inspected and transported directly to market stalls through a closed cold chain, greatly improving circulation efficiency.
