With the successful conclusion of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a group of large-scale OB vans that temporarily entered the country for video broadcasting also completed their mission and were re-exported by sea on February 25.

This is the first batch of outbound supplies from the Olympic Committees of participating countries (regions) in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and it also marks the official start of the outbound supplies of the Winter Olympics.

  In order to ensure the smooth customs clearance of materials for the Winter Olympics, Beijing Customs took the lead in setting up a leading group for cross-customs cooperation, and coordinated and deployed the customs in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to carry out cooperation, analyze and judge the changes and trends in the quantity and trend of materials entering and leaving the country for the Winter Olympics in advance. "Integrated implementation", and jointly do a good job in the declaration, inspection and release of Winter Olympics materials.

  This year marks the 8th anniversary of the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy.

Over the past 8 years, the customs of the three places have worked together to facilitate customs clearance, continuously release reform dividends, and continue to optimize and improve the port business environment.

According to statistics, the import and export value of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will increase from 3.74 trillion yuan in 2014 to 4.44 trillion yuan in 2021, an increase of 18.7%.

  In order to further optimize the business environment at the port, Tianjin Customs has innovatively launched the business model reform of "ship-side pick-up" for imported goods and "direct-to-port loading" for export goods in combination with the logistics mode of import and export goods at the port and the actual needs of enterprises. The Hebei integration mechanism will be promoted to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei enterprises at the same time, further reducing the time and cost of border compliance of imported and exported goods, helping enterprises to integrate into the "dual cycle", and providing new momentum for promoting the high-quality development of an open economy.

  Under the "shipside pick-up" mode of imported goods, enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei can complete customs clearance procedures locally, and unload and load goods directly from the ship at Tianjin port to the enterprise. To 2 days, the shortest can be compressed to 1.5 hours, and the operation link can be compressed from the original 6 to at least 3.

At present, the scope of application of "ship-side pick-up" has gradually expanded from the initial general trade goods to bonded goods, sea-rail combined transit goods, etc., and the scope of goods has expanded from imported auto parts to all imported goods.

  The business model of "direct loading on arrival" has a more obvious role in helping export goods to clear customs.

According to reports, after the foreign trade enterprises complete the advance customs declaration at the local customs, the factory can go directly to the Tianjin port terminal. The customs implements customs clearance measures such as terminal arrival and terminal inspection. The export collection port of foreign trade enterprises is expected to be compressed from 5 days to the shortest 1 to 2 days .

  According to the customs statistics of the three places, in 2021, 20.55% of the imported container goods will be quickly picked up by the "ship-side direct pick-up" method, and 14.68% of the export containerized goods will be quickly loaded and shipped out after arrival by the "arrival direct-load" method. transport.

Thanks to the above-mentioned reforms, the overall customs clearance time for imports and exports at Tianjin Port was 34.93 hours and 0.74 hours respectively, a year-on-year reduction of 17.3% and 48.6% respectively, making it "the most convenient sea port for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei".

  Focusing on customs business coordination and comprehensively improving the level of trade facilitation is the focus of the three customs to strengthen cooperation.

The "Smart Platform for Port Collection and Distribution", jointly built by Tianjin Customs and Tianjin Port Group, integrates the concept of "online car-hailing" into port collection and distribution operations, and empowers Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei enterprises to facilitate customs clearance through technological innovation.

  At present, the "Guangang Jishugang Smart Platform" has certified about 19,000 drivers and 18,000 vehicles. The cumulative matching volume has exceeded 930,000 boxes, covering 29 provinces.

The platform service coverage mainly covers Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei enterprises. Nearly 70% of the goods flow to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. More and more Beijing enterprises and Hebei enterprises are actively participating in the reform, and the customs clearance satisfaction is steadily improving.

  Recently, under the "bonded exhibition and transaction" mode, nearly 100 antique cars from Beijing were unveiled at Tianjin Dongjiang Automobile Culture and Art Center, and the first exhibition of antique cars with the theme of "A Century of Legends - Classic Antique Car Exhibition" kicked off. curtain.

  It is understood that "bonded exhibition transaction" refers to the business activities of enterprises in the customs special supervision area registered with the customs, and the bonded goods in the customs special supervision area are shipped to outside the area for display and sales after release on the basis of security.

Under the traditional model, the imported goods must be fully tax-paid before they can be sold in the domestic market; while the bonded display method is adopted, enterprises in the comprehensive bonded zone do not need to pay taxes in advance. After the guarantee is completed, the bonded goods can be under the supervision of the customs. Show and trade out of the area.

  The person in charge of Dongjiang Art Bonded Development Co., Ltd. said that these classic cars came from Beijing China Millennium Monument Museum of Contemporary Art. The adoption of this new model saved the company's operating costs and ensured the safety of exhibits.

Expanding and promoting innovative policies such as "bonded exhibition and trading" in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will not only help enterprises in the three regions build a regional collaborative innovation community, but also help promote the development of new formats and models of foreign trade.

  More reforms and innovations are still being piloted, for example, the customs of the three places have carried out business reforms such as conditional lift-off and consolidated inspection across customs areas.

In addition, Beijing Customs and Tianjin Customs have formulated and implemented a guarantee-free cross-customs area sharing mechanism for high-level certified enterprises in the two places. Enterprise-related guarantee business can be applied for, submitted for approval, and implemented simultaneously at the two customs in Beijing and Tianjin.
