According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, a few days ago, Shandong Changyu Glass Co., Ltd. declared the export of 20433 boxes of glass bottles. After completing the customs declaration and transfer procedures at Yantai Customs, they will be shipped from Yantai Port to Qingdao Port by the "Aotong 2" branch ship for export to Canada, marking the official implementation of the tax refund policy at the port of departure in Yantai.

The tax refund policy at the port of departure is a replicable and promotable pilot reform experience explored and formed in the pilot free trade zone, and also a reform innovation in the export tax refund management model. Export goods sent from the port of departure to the port of departure for transit overseas are deemed to have been exported and can be immediately processed for tax refund once confirmed to have left the port of departure, greatly shortening the tax refund cycle for export enterprises.

According to the notice jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Administration of Taxation on expanding the implementation scope of the pilot tax refund policy at the departure port, starting from April 1, the tax refund policy at the departure port will be applicable to water cargo with Yantai Port as the departure port and Tianjin Port, Dayaowan Port, Zhoushan Port, and Qingdao Port as the departure ports. The implementation of this policy will bring significant benefits to export production enterprises, foreign trade enterprises, and transportation enterprises in the Yantai region.

Previously, our export transit goods needed to be transported from Yantai Port to Qingdao Port first, and only after the departure from Qingdao Port and the clearance of the customs declaration can we declare export tax refunds to the tax department. Now, after the customs declaration for export transit goods is released by Yantai Customs, we can declare tax refunds to the tax department, which is about a week earlier. "said Wang Liang, Minister of Finance of Shandong Changyu Glass Co., Ltd, The company needs to declare more than 50 batches of export customs goods every month. Applying for tax refunds in advance can significantly reduce the cost of capital occupation and alleviate the company's financial pressure.

The tax refund at the port of departure saves the transportation time of goods from the port of departure to the port of departure, as well as the time for berthing at the port of departure, waiting for loading, handling departure procedures, and reloading to international vessels. It can especially avoid the extension of transit time caused by special circumstances such as adverse weather, "said Zhou Xianyan, the head of the Comprehensive Business Department of the Yantai Customs Port Office, Shortening the tax refund time is very beneficial for improving the capital circulation and withdrawal speed of small and medium-sized enterprises.

In order to promote the implementation of the tax refund policy at the departure port, Yantai Free Trade Zone will strengthen collaboration and linkage with multiple departments such as customs, ports, and taxation, connect core links, introduce digestion, absorption, and innovation, and promote more verified "innovative varieties" to take root and sprout in the area.

Yantai Customs promptly carried out policy promotion and interpretation to enterprises, guiding them to streamline the process of tax refund processing, setting up specialized positions to track the process of tax refund in real time, coordinating and resolving abnormal situations, and observing and reporting on import and export data of Huacheng.

Yantai Customs has established a "tariff" contact and cooperation mechanism to exchange information on enterprise compliance and integrity, customs declaration information, and tax refund information, and to conduct joint debugging and testing of supervision and tax refund processes to ensure that enterprises fully enjoy the dividends of the tax refund policy at the departure port.

Next, Yantai Customs will closely monitor the implementation of the tax refund policy at the departure port, collect and solve the difficulties and problems in the process of enterprise tax refund, stack policy dividends and advantages of customs clearance convenience measures, and promote the high-quality development of foreign trade in the jurisdiction.
