Recently, in the workshop of Longchuan Xinglai Shoes Co., Ltd. in Heyuan City, Guangdong Province, workers skillfully packed and packaged a pair of high-quality sneakers. According to customs data, these sneakers will be shipped by sea within a few hours and distributed to all parts of the world.

Footwear is Heyuan's advantageous export industry. Heyuan has more than 10 footwear processing and trading enterprises. According to customs statistics, in the first seven months of this year, Heyuan's labor-intensive industries imported and exported 3.74 billion yuan of foreign trade. According to customs data, footwear exports reached 560 million yuan, up 17.5% year on year.

Longchuan Xinglai Shoes Co., Ltd. is an international footwear manufacturing company. All its products are exported to European and American markets and enjoy a very high reputation in the world footwear industry. In January 2009, the company was cultivated into an AEO senior certification enterprise by the customs. "Benefiting from the relevant policies of AEO senior certified enterprises, our international trade import and export products enjoy a series of customs clearance facilities such as low inspection rate and simplified customs clearance procedures at home and abroad." Nie Min, the company's customs business contact, said that customs data showed that the company's total import and export value this year was 440 million yuan, up 57% year on year.

In recent years, Heyuan Customs has increased the AEO certification and cultivation of traditional advantageous production enterprises such as shoes, hats and clothing, and cultivated 18 such enterprises to become AEO senior certification enterprises. Through the "one-to-one" assistance certification mode, Heyuan Customs has guided enterprises to comprehensively improve various management systems, improve product quality, and help enterprises improve their competitiveness in the international trade market.

According to customs data, the certificate of origin is an effective certificate for international trade enterprises to enjoy tariff preferences, known as "paper gold". Heyuan Customs comprehensively deepened the reform of the origin visa business, relying on intelligent audit to achieve "second signing" of certificates, so that enterprises can complete the application for certificates of origin "at home". The data shows that in the first seven months, Heyuan Customs issued 764 certificates of origin for exported footwear, with a visa amount of 15.04 million US dollars. The export scope covers more than 30 countries and regions, including major economies in the world. For Heyuan exported footwear, the tariff reduction in relevant importing countries is about 5.42 million yuan.

"Our enterprise is more than 100 kilometers away from the urban area, and it takes more than 2 hours to go back and forth. After the customs introduced intelligent audit and self-service printing, our visa is much more convenient, and we can print it in the office by ourselves." Nie Min then introduced to the reporter, "The daily saved fuel, toll and labor costs can further reduce the operating costs of our enterprise."

The relevant person in charge of Heyuan Customs said that in order to help the development of Heyuan footwear international trade export enterprises, the customs had a deep understanding of the difficulties and demands of enterprises in the area under its jurisdiction, issued targeted measures to help enterprises ensure orders and employment, continued to make efforts in customs clearance, quality inspection, certification cultivation, management improvement and other aspects, provided efficient and convenient service measures, and promoted the stability and quality of foreign trade in the area under its jurisdiction.
