China News Service, Beijing, May 9 (Gao Donghui and Xu Jing) The International Science and Technology Innovation Center is the first "child" of the "five children" linkage.
Beijing Customs closely adheres to the main platform of "Three Cities and One District", implements the "four-wheel drive" of simple certification, optimized procedures, improved timeliness, and reduced costs, and fully promotes the rapid development of Beijing's high-end industries.
In the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "Economic Development Zone"), Yizhuang Customs, a subsidiary of Beijing Customs, has always been guided by the needs of enterprises, focusing on the new generation of information technology, biotechnology and big health and other leading industries in the region, and is an advanced manufacturing industry in the region. Enterprises provide "tailor-made" services.
Data show that in the first quarter of this year, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone achieved a total import and export volume of US$43.26 billion, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%.
Urgent enterprises to create a high-quality business environment
The business environment is the soft power of local economic development. Yizhuang Customs has made great efforts to facilitate the handling of business affairs for enterprises, and vigorously promotes measures such as online order acceptance, independent printing, and online verification, and has changed from "can handle" to "easy to handle".
"The production raw materials imported by our company do not have the conditions for sampling and inspection at the port customs. At the same time, due to the impact of foreign epidemics, the company's material procurement is difficult. If the raw materials cannot be delivered to the factory in time, the production line may be cut off, resulting in huge economic losses." Cui Ying, director of the logistics department of a LCD panel enterprise in Beijing, said.
After knowing this situation, Yizhuang Customs has a deep understanding of the needs of enterprises, and researches and formulates assistance plans.
Actively coordinate with the qualified imported goods, take the initiative to contact the port customs, and adopt the mode of transferring to the factory for inspection, which has successfully solved the import problem of enterprises.
Cui Ying said that Yizhuang Customs helped the company solve the problem in less than a week.
At present, the company's raw material imports are smooth, ensuring smooth production and achieving stable growth in the first quarter.
On the basis of the existing policies, Yizhuang Customs also actively visited key enterprises and enterprises in difficulty in the jurisdiction to accurately understand the needs of enterprises "one-to-one", provide policy support and practical assistance for enterprises in difficulty, and help the efficient development of key industries in the jurisdiction.
Xu Chi, Chief of the Second Inspection Section of Yizhuang Customs, introduced that the Customs took the initiative to provide services and was anxious for the urgent needs of enterprises, which effectively solved the problem that imported goods could not be sampled and submitted for inspection at the port.
Since the beginning of this year, nearly 30 batches of imported equipment and raw materials for production have been inspected and released, with a value of more than 100 million US dollars.

Speed up and speed up special items "check and release"
"Click the 'declaration' button, and it takes less than 1 minute to send the application for tax reduction and exemption of import and export goods, and you can receive a confirmation receipt. It is really convenient." Tian Aiqing, manager of the import and export department of an information technology company in Beijing The convenience of coming is full of praise.
It is reported that the customs duty reduction and duty-free quick review mode not only enables one-click import and quick declaration of application forms and accompanying documents, but also realizes "second review and issuance of documents" for qualified goods.
Tian Aiqing said that in the past, it often took several working days for the company to process the "Notice of Tax Exemption and Tax Exemption Confirmation". Now the customs has opened the fast review function, and the raw materials that are in urgent need can be imported at any time, and the customs clearance will be immediate, which is very helpful to the enterprise.
In recent years, Beijing Customs has stepped up customs clearance reforms. From intelligent approval to "one-stop" inspection, the efficiency of customs clearance has been improved in multiple links, and the customs clearance time has been shortened, making enterprises feel time-saving and labor-saving.
"Under the epidemic environment, the import volume of our company's biopharmaceutical outsourcing service business continues to rise. Yizhuang Customs adopts a 'one-stop' inspection method on the 'South Platform', which greatly improves the efficiency of customs clearance and greatly reduces the cost of customs clearance." An Xie Penghui, general manager of Noron (Beijing) Biotechnology Co., Ltd. said.
"Zhongguancun International Biological Reagent Logistics Center" ("South Platform" for short) is the first centralized inspection site for customs special items in China.
Meng Boyu, the head of Yizhuang Customs, introduced that in order to save the time and cost of enterprises to the greatest extent, the Customs relies on the "South Platform" to innovate and carry out centralized inspection of biological reagents, and realizes the "instant inspection" and "instant release" of goods, which is an important part of the biopharmaceutical industry in Beijing. Provide full support for innovation and development.
Enterprises that enjoy tax reduction dividends receive burden-reducing "gift packages"
Combining with the industrial structure characteristics of the concentrated advanced manufacturing industry in the jurisdiction, Yizhuang Customs has carried out in-depth taxation research and actively sought preferential taxation measures for key characteristic industries, so as to reduce burdens and increase efficiency for enterprises.
"The level of the tax rate on imported parts and components of CT machines directly affects our costs. Since the second half of 2018, the tax rate of the whole machine of CT machines has been reduced. Can we also reduce the imported parts and components we need for production?" With the idea of trying it out, in September 2018, Qin Xiaolei, the customs director of Hangwei General Electric Medical Systems Co., Ltd., came to Yizhuang Customs for consultation.
In the next three years, Yizhuang Customs, together with the Beijing Customs Tariff Department, continued to conduct field investigations, collect data, fully research and analyze the import and export of the CT machine industry, and finally selected the core part of the CT machine - "Scintillator"" Collimator" as a breakthrough, repeatedly revised and improved tax research reports, and optimized tax reduction proposals.
At the end of December 2021, in the "Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China (2022)" announced by the Tariff Commission of the State Council, the provisional import tax rate for the two commodity tariff lines of "collimator" and "scintillation" was reduced from the original 5% to 3%.
Qin Xiaolei said that these two parts can save the company at least 3 million yuan in costs every year.
This tax reduction allows the company to see the development opportunities of the CT machine industry under the strong support of the state.
In the next step, the company will increase the layout of domestic production lines and develop the global mid-to-high-end CT machine market.
With the expansion of the production line of mid-to-high-end CT machines in the future, it is expected that the dividends from tax reduction of parts will reach more than 10 million yuan.
