Give full play to the role of the rule of law in safeguarding and escorting - promoting the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy

Private economy is a new force to promote Chinese path to modernization, an important foundation for high-quality development, and plays an important role in economic and social development. The specific actions of the national customs to implement policies and measures to promote the development of the private economy in a solid manner are becoming a vivid footnote to promoting the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy.
Zero distance communication between enterprises
Supporting the 'hard foundation' of development
Since 2025, in the face of the complex and ever-changing international economic and trade environment, Luoding Customs, a subsidiary of Guangzhou Customs, has carried out the "Customs Director's Policy Door to Door" activity, regularly understanding the urgent needs and concerns of enterprises in its jurisdiction. Targeted legal and business experts have been organized to go deep into the raw material warehouses and processing workshops of bamboo, wood and grass product production enterprises, strictly inspecting the procurement channels and storage conditions of raw materials, focusing on identifying quality hazards such as mold and insect infestation, and guiding enterprises to standardize production. At the same time, becoming a "policy advisor" for enterprises, accurately interpreting foreign policies, standards, and technical trade measures, explaining compliance points in detail to enterprises through forms such as "policy lectures" and "one-on-one coaching", and helping enterprises improve production processes and perfect testing reports.
"The rule of law service mode of the customs' initiative of" asking for needs "has helped us solve the problems of raw material storage, pest prevention and moisture-proof, management log, etc. Under the guidance of the customs, we have optimized the production process, improved the product quality, effectively prevented the risks of pests, mildew and moisture, and have more confidence and confidence in opening up the international market!" said Lin Jinhua, head of Luoding Shenshan Bamboo Products Co., Ltd.
In order to promote the improvement of foreign trade quality and efficiency, Guangzhou Customs has implemented long-term mechanisms such as "Customs Director's Door to Door Policy" and "Problem Clearing", directly targeting the front line of enterprise production and operation, understanding the production and operation status of enterprises in the customs clearance area, establishing a normalized policy promotion mechanism, increasing customs support and policy output accuracy, and guiding enterprises to fully enjoy policy dividends. Since 2025, a total of 524 enterprises have been visited and surveyed, and 597 demands have been collected and resolved.
Small incision in enterprise law enforcement
Leveraging the 'Big Change' in Development
Due to the wide range of business categories and qualifications obtained by the company, we used to undergo multiple customs inspections every year. Thanks to the practical measures of 'one inspection', we can now inspect multiple items at once. The reduction in on-site inspection frequency allows us to focus more on production and operation, and we feel more secure and at ease, "said Zhang Jun, the customs manager of Zhangjiagang Yangtze Combed Woolen Co., Ltd.
To effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, Jingang Customs, a subsidiary of Nanjing Customs, has taken multiple measures to standardize administrative inspections of enterprises, reduce their burden, and help optimize the legal business environment. In the process of law enforcement inspections, the department conscientiously implements measures such as actively presenting law enforcement documents and issuing notices for law enforcement supervision, recording the entire administrative inspection process, regularly publishing law enforcement inspection results, and inviting administrative counterparts to conduct law enforcement inspection evaluations. At the same time, we will continue to deepen institutional innovation, set reasonable inspection frequencies, vigorously promote precise inspections, and reduce the burden on enterprises; Strengthen technological empowerment, optimize inspection methods, reduce direct interference with enterprise production through "cloud inspection", networked digital management and other modes, and improve inspection accuracy and effectiveness.
Nanjing Customs thoroughly implements the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on further standardizing administrative inspections related to enterprises, strictly regulates customs administrative inspections related to enterprises, effectively protects the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and continuously optimizes the port business environment. At present, Jingang Customs, a subsidiary of Nanjing Customs, has achieved 100% overlap of verification items, covering 13 key enterprises in its jurisdiction, and reducing inspection time by more than 60%. Among them, 8 enterprises have been included in the backup list for implementing the "Customs Verification Enterprise Self Inspection Results Recognition Model".  
Institutional innovation adds convenience
Enterprises go global to 'enjoy the highway'
In 2025, under the guidance of the General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Commerce, Shanghai Customs and the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce will carry out in-depth cooperation, pilot the facilitation measures for the inspection of imported consumer goods, jointly launch the country's first "white list+differentiated qualification assessment" inspection mode, and establish the "enterprise service package" mechanism for the customs clearance convenience of imported goods for the first launch, first exhibition, and first store.
This policy innovation adapts to a wide range of products and formats through the launch of a "small window" - for first-time exhibitions and small batches of new products with less than 20 pieces in a single batch that do not enter the circulation field, "qualified assurance and rapid release" will be implemented; New products imported in batches of 20 or more can be cleared quickly with a testing report, without the need for repeated testing. By innovating and establishing a tiered convenience system, we have achieved a smooth experience of "no loss, no waiting" in the import inspection process. By the end of 2025, the "white list" of first listed companies has been included in 34 multinational brand headquarters and 54 internationally renowned brands, and the scale of the "first list" of imported consumer goods has reached nearly 30000.
In 2025, the high-end series of WMF brand under the company will undergo a comprehensive upgrade. The pilot measures are no different from a timely rain. The first batch of 19 new products, totaling 2700 pieces, completed testing before import, smoothly enjoying the convenience of no need for repeated testing. The customs clearance time was saved by one week, allowing the new products to be launched as soon as possible. ”Zhu Min, Director of Import and Export at Shanghai Futengbao Enterprise Development Co., Ltd., stated that the deepening and implementation of the first import consumer goods inspection facilitation measures by Shanghai Customs has created a more convenient innovation environment for enterprises, which will help accelerate the innovation and introduction of new products and improve supply chain response efficiency.
Changsha Customs actively carries out innovation in customs supervision system, and promotes a new mode of linkage supervision for the export of new energy vehicle lithium batteries under the "separate box shipping" mode, implementing on-site identification of dangerous goods packaging and use in Changsha, to help enterprises reduce burden and increase efficiency. After evaluation, through the implementation of "separate box shipment" linkage supervision, the lithium batteries for new energy vehicles will be appraised for the use of dangerous goods packaging by Changsha Customs on site and in accordance with the situation. After passing the inspection, they will be directly shipped for export, which can effectively shorten the round-trip transportation time of lithium batteries by more than 7 days and effectively relieve the burden on enterprises. According to Zhengzhou Fudi Battery Co., Ltd.'s estimation, the overall export efficiency of lithium batteries for new energy vehicles sold to Brazil under this model can be saved by at least 10 days per batch, and the comprehensive costs of logistics, storage, and management can be saved by about 1000 yuan per unit. This measure has been registered as an innovative measure for customs supervision in the Free Trade Zone of the General Administration of Customs, and has been selected as a provincial-level project for "Rule of Law for the People" in Hunan in 2025.
Regulatory Efficiency 'Upgraded Again'
Reducing the Burden of Enterprise Management
With the continuous development of the new energy vehicle industry, SiC MOS modules, as the core components of new energy vehicle electric drive systems, have become the focus of industrial technology competition. Breaking the long-term dependence on imported high-end wafers is particularly crucial for the development of related industries in China. In February 2025, the Ningbo Free Trade Zone Customs under Ningbo Customs accurately sorted out the R&D plans, material lists, and customs clearance pain points of enterprises, tailored service solutions for enterprises, and supported BYD Semiconductor Co., Ltd. to officially launch a bonded R&D project for 1200V trench gate SiC MOSFET wafers, shortening the R&D preparation cycle by 30% and improving the clearance efficiency of the first batch of materials by 40%.
The "bonded research and development" model allows enterprises to import raw materials and equipment required for research and development in a bonded manner, which is equivalent to issuing a "special credit card" to enterprises, effectively alleviating the pressure of research and development funds. This model allows us to concentrate resources on technological breakthroughs, "said Zhou Jian, head of the Technology Development Department of BYD Semiconductor Co., Ltd." Imported raw materials and equipment do not need to pay tariffs in advance. After the research and development products are tested and qualified, taxes will be levied based on actual consumption. This saves us a lot of working capital, greatly enhances our first mover advantage, and 'increases momentum' for the company to expand its market influence
Ningbo Customs thoroughly implements the national decision and deployment on deepening the green and intelligent high-quality development of the automobile industry, continuously improves new formats and models such as "bonded research and development" and "bonded maintenance", and provides strong support for the leap from "following" to "leading" in the new energy vehicle industry. In the first 11 months of 2025, the import and export volume of automotive parts under the jurisdiction of Ningbo Free Trade Zone Customs reached 3.251 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 60%.
Supporting innovation and increasing investment
Activate the "new driving force" of development
Shenyang Southeast Hualong Crafts Co., Ltd. is a private enterprise mainly engaged in exports, and its products are subject to compliance inspections by customs, market supervision and other departments. In the past, when different departments conducted separate inspections, enterprises needed to prepare production records, quality system documents, and other materials separately, and the inspection time was scattered, often disrupting the production rhythm. To this end, the Hunnan Customs under Shenyang Customs and the Liaozhong District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Shenyang formed a joint inspection team to compare and verify the self inspection and self-control plan, traceability system implementation, and production and operation situation of enterprises according to their respective functions. They pointed out subtle hidden dangers in the operation of the quality and safety system on site and jointly guided enterprises to formulate rectification plans.
Guo Enjun, the person in charge of Shenyang Southeast Hualong Crafts Co., Ltd., said, "Now only one set of materials needs to be prepared, and two inspections can be completed in one day. There is no need to repeatedly coordinate time and organize information, which allows us to focus more on product export and production, truly reducing the burden on our business
Since 2025, Shenyang Customs has taken "reducing the burden on enterprises and improving regulatory efficiency" as its core, and has collaborated with market supervision departments to innovate regulatory models. Through the dual measures of "joint spot checks+graded and classified supervision", it has solved the problem of "multiple inspections and repeated inspections" and helped private enterprises enter the market with light equipment.
Customs plays an important role in serving the country's opening-up and high-quality economic development. In recent years, the national customs have accumulated a large amount of legal practice experience in promoting the development of the private economy. In order to further transform the advantages of customs legal protection into specific actions to improve the actual efficiency of high-quality development, the Policy and Regulations Department of the General Administration of Customs has collected and sorted out relevant laws, regulations and typical cases, and compiled the "Customs Law Popularization Handbook for Promoting the Healthy and High quality Development of the Private Economy" from the perspective of the rule of law. It deeply explains the relevant legal concepts and practical requirements, and through the "system interpretation+value transmission+case verification" legal behavior guidance method, promotes all customs officers to perform their duties in accordance with the law and provide accurate services, and demonstrates greater achievements in promoting the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy.
