On March 8, under the supervision and guarantee of Shatin Customs, which is subordinate to Huangpu Customs, the ship "Hongrun 18", carrying 397 containers of 3000 tons of goods, left Dongguan Port and headed for Vietnam, a member of RCEP. At present, Dongguan Port has opened a special line for exporting steel structure to Indonesia, a special line for exporting steel to Vietnam and a special line for importing nickel ore from Indonesia.

Since this year, with the reduction of tariffs by the members of the RCEP agreement and the landing of the Indonesia agreement, the Philippines has vigorously promoted the process of the agreement, which is good for China's international trade, and has been reflected in the customs statistics of many places.

Analysts said that the RCEP agreement was once again launched, and the booming development of domestic technology manufacturing enterprises was expected to inject vitality into the international trade export of China's manufacturing industry. Industries with comparative advantages such as electronic products and complete equipment were expected to benefit first.

Create "RCEP special train" in multiple places

In the near future, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Hubei and other places also rely on the convenience of the inland railway network to connect with ports in Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanghai, Shandong and other places to form a sea-railway linkage mode, and specifically open the sea-railway linkage freight trains in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and other places. Since the above destinations are all destinations of the RCEP agreement, the industry even calls them "the RCEP special train", which echoes the China-EU train at a distance.

The accelerated implementation of the RCEP agreement has also brought positive factors to stabilize foreign trade and promote international trade exports. According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs, ASEAN is one of the regions with extensive coverage of the RCEP agreement and is China's largest trading partner; In the first two months of this year, the total trade value between ASEAN and China reached 951.93 billion yuan, up 9.6%, accounting for 15.4% of China's total international trade value. In February this year, data released by Qingdao Customs and others showed that since the RCEP came into force in 2022, as of January this year, Qingdao Customs, Jinan Customs and the Shandong Provincial Council for the Promotion of International Trade have issued 164000 certificates of origin of the RCEP, ranking the first in the country, with the value of export benefits of 44.66 billion yuan, and relevant enterprises can enjoy about 450 million yuan of tariff concessions from other member countries of the RCEP. On March 1, Tianjin Customs also released a message that the value of import and export benefits under Tianjin Port RCEP reached 788 million yuan in the first two months of this year, up 52% year on year.

Enterprises exploit the international trade market

Since this year, the number of goods from Hunan to the RCEP agreement area has increased, and consumer electronics, new energy vehicles and parts, new energy batteries, complete sets of construction machinery and other products have benefited greatly. BYD, Ningde Times, Sany Heavy Truck and other complete sets of products are sent to the RCEP agreement area. Sany Group also develops large-tonnage excavators, wide-body mining vehicles, etc., which are specially used in mines, and then sells them to new markets in the RCEP agreement area.

The staff of Sany Heavy Industry listed relevant information to the reporter, "In January of this year, the RCEP agreement came into force for Indonesia, creating more favorable conditions for our export of complete sets of construction machinery. Indonesia is rich in nickel, copper and other metal mines, as well as natural gas, oil and other energy resources. In combination with the above favorable conditions, Indonesia is vigorously supporting local industrial enterprises, making every effort to improve the level of infrastructure in the country, and providing complete sets of equipment and comprehensive solutions for Chinese construction machinery with high cost performance The case is very popular. "

Keliyuan is a listed company engaged in new energy battery materials. In recent years, it has deeply cultivated nickel resources in Indonesia, deeply felt the coordinated development of the new energy industry between Indonesia and China, and rejoiced in the implementation of Indonesia's RCEP agreement. The staff of the company introduced to the reporter, "Indonesia is rich in nickel ore resources, and China's new energy industry is booming. The two constitute an upstream and downstream cooperative relationship. In recent years, the number of domestic enterprises going to Indonesia to set up factories and explore the upstream and deep industries of new energy has increased. The implementation of the RCEP agreement has reduced the time cost and transaction cost of the two countries' enterprises' economic and trade, not only creating conditions for activating overseas mineral resources, but also creating conditions for opening up domestic and foreign markets and extending the new energy industry chain Space. "

Professor Cao Erbao, dean of the School of Economics and Trade of Hunan University, positively commented on the economic benefits brought by the RCEP agreement, "Since the implementation of the RCEP agreement for more than a year, it has brought significant global demonstration effects. This year is the window period for the parties to the agreement to reduce tariffs. The economic benefits of tariff reduction are obvious, and it also promotes Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries to accelerate the implementation of the RCEP agreement. In February this year, the Senate of the Philippine Congress formally approved the approval of the RCEP, and the Philippines has made a big step forward in joining the RCEP. From the perspective of global industrial division and technological comparative advantages, China New energy vehicles, photovoltaic cells, wind power generation, consumer electronics, complete sets of construction machinery, and complete sets of rail transit equipment are undoubtedly the leading echelons of manufacturing exports, and are expected to stabilize China's overall export base and achieve high-quality growth.
