The sixteen measures, "Twelve measures to support the development of central Europe and Hangzhou," "support for the development of comprehensive protection areas" and other measures, have been promulgated, including three measures to support Zhejiang's steady foreign trade work:

Streamline customs clearance process and improve customs clearance efficiency

The 24 hour appointment clearance service shall be carried out to speed up the examination and approval of imported production equipment and raw materials for the resumption of production and production, simplify the import and export formalities for agricultural products and food, and promote the "two step declaration" and "two stage access" and other customs facilitation reforms, so as to enhance the efficiency of inspection.

Streamlining documents and implementing "Internet + customs"

When the enterprise declares its paperless way through the "single window" of international trade, the import declaration link is exempt from the commercial documents such as submitting the contract, packing list, export declaration link, etc., and extending the certificate of origin "credit visa". In view of the inconvenience of the enterprises going through customs business during the epidemic period, the Internet plus customs is used to popularize no meeting or zero connection. Touch business.

Actively helping solve enterprise problems

At present, Hangzhou customs has two important platforms for serving foreign trade enterprises, namely, "interactive platform for closing enterprises" and "offshore control measures query platform".

Relying on the interactive platform of Guan and enterprises, we have already solved the problem of resuming work and resuming production, involving 435 difficulties in customs business. In the offshore control measures query platform, 786 control measures of 153 countries (regions) have been maintained and publiced to provide information inquiry service for enterprises' import and export.

In addition, Hangzhou customs also introduced three specific measures to help enterprises reduce import costs.

For enterprises to import machinery and equipment and raw materials urgently, if necessary, increase the proportion of mechanical inspection and reduce the inspection of opening the box.

The consignee can inform the customs through e-mail, electronic platform, etc., and will not be inspected. For laboratories that need to be sent to the laboratory, they can rely on third party certification and quick test report to further reduce the proportion of laboratory testing. For imported auto parts products involving CCC certification, the third party certification certificate is the main inspection method, and no sampling inspection is required in principle.

Reducing the pressure of capital turnover

For the imported goods which are not affected by the epidemic situation, the delayed declaration will be deduct. Enterprises that are unable to pay taxes due to difficulties in operation due to the impact of the epidemic may be deferred for a maximum period of 3 months, and the late fee should be reduced. So far, enterprises in Hangzhou customs area have been deferred paying taxes 723 million yuan.

Pilot imported goods "side by side" business

According to the joint announcement "enhancing cross-border trade facilitation and promoting steady growth of foreign trade" issued by the two customs of Hangzhou Ningbo, Hangzhou Hai completed the first round blue wet buffalo's "ship side straight pick up" business in Jiaxing port in March 31st. In April 7th, it completed the first ticket import auto parts (world silver business environmental assessment standard product).

By "advance declaration of enterprises, customs examination and delivery in advance", the goods can be loaded directly off the side of the ship and quickly removed from the port after arrival of the goods, and the enterprises will not need to pile up and other expenses, so as to effectively reduce the logistics cost of enterprises.

Next, the Hangzhou customs will continue to optimize the business environment, enhance trade facilitation, co-ordinate efforts to prevent and control the epidemic at the port and facilitate customs clearance, and strive to minimize the impact of the epidemic.
