Tianning Pipeline is a professional manufacturer of pressure pipeline components, with products widely used in industries such as petroleum, petrochemical, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and power. In order to adapt to the constantly changing international market, Tianning Pipeline continues to improve product quality and innovative research and development capabilities, steadily expanding new customers through participation in international trade exhibitions and other means, and gaining recognition from customers with its own brand advantages. According to import and export data, from January to April 2023, the export volume of enterprises increased by 180% compared to the same period in 2022. Chen Long stated that the upward trend of Tianning Pipeline's foreign trade data is closely related to the precise services provided by relevant government departments. The high-tech zone maintains close communication with us and provides support in terms of capital, technology, talent introduction, and other aspects to help enterprises stand out in the fiercely competitive foreign market, thus leading to being at the forefront of foreign trade exports

Foreign trade is a powerful driving force for economic growth. The high-tech zone regards "stabilizing growth, strengthening confidence, protecting the main body, and increasing momentum" as the top priority for current foreign trade development. It timely sorts out policies for stabilizing foreign trade at all levels, continuously promotes policies to directly benefit enterprises, and forms a strong joint force for foreign trade development through the joint efforts of departments, financial institutions, and enterprises. Zhang Xiaohua, Director of the Economic Secretary for Development of the High tech Zone, said that, at the government level, the High tech Zone mainly helps foreign trade enterprises to "strengthen confidence, integrate resources and grab orders" by means of "making policies, strengthening services and optimizing the environment", so as to accelerate the cultivation of more foreign trade increment.

Play a policy "combination punch" and escort enterprises to compete for orders in the "sea". According to import and export data, since 2023, Jiangyin has actively implemented the service specialist system for key foreign trade enterprises, and the "one enterprise, one policy" has helped enterprises solve practical difficulties. We have held multiple consecutive "Foreign Trade Lectures", inviting experts to focus on interpreting hot topics of concern to foreign trade enterprises such as RCEP, exchange rates, and financing, in order to comprehensively enhance the comprehensive abilities of foreign trade practitioners. On this basis, Jiangyin actively organized enterprises to "go out to sea" to grab orders, formulated municipal special plans such as the Plan for 2023 Jiangyin Online Exhibitions and Key Overseas Exhibitions, and continued to increase support for exhibitors, encouraging foreign trade enterprises to recommend products and expand customer groups through exhibitions.

Import and export data shows that in response to the common financing difficulties faced by foreign trade enterprises, Jiangyin has opened up a credit risk fund pool for foreign trade enterprises, encouraged them to make good use of financial policies such as "Su Mao Dai", "Small and Micro Loans", and "Foreign Trade Financing Treasure", expanded financing channels for import and export enterprises, reduced financing costs, and effectively ensured that foreign trade enterprises cope with major external risks such as trade frictions and exchange rate fluctuations. Government and enterprise work together to steadily improve the quality and efficiency of the city's foreign trade development. According to import and export data, from January to May 2023, Jiangyin achieved a total import and export value of 63.13 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.4%. According to import and export data, exports reached 41.24 billion yuan, an increase of 3.1%; The import reached 21.89 billion yuan, an increase of 3.9%.

To make the foundation of "stability" more solid and the driving force of "progress" more sufficient, Jiangyin will actively respond to the "One Million Exhibitions and Ten Thousand Enterprises Expanding the Market Action" being carried out in the province, encouraging more foreign trade enterprises to participate abroad and explore the international market. At the same time, Jiangyin will also continue to make full use of its port resources, strengthen communication and coordination with port authorities, optimize the approval process, promote business reforms such as tariff Surety, consolidated taxation, and the "two-step declaration" customs clearance model, continue to improve the level of cross-border trade facilitation, and promote the high-quality development of Jiangyin's Open economy.
