Lucheng women's shoes, Yueqing electrical appliances, Ouhai glasses... In the past few days, newly settled individual merchants have been busy bringing samples to the Wenzhou Jiaoyun International Trade City Trade Zone. The delivery of the International Trade City Trade Zone, which was completed just over a month ago, has more than 700 individual merchants registered. Merchant Liu Meijing said with a smile that one-stop international trade export services are provided here, and "little whites" like her can quickly get started.
In the past, export procedures such as customs declaration, logistics, foreign exchange collection and settlement made many individual merchants without experience in international trade feel unable to start. Wenzhou took the opportunity of the national-level market procurement trade pilot project to build a trade zone of the International Trade City for Delivery and Transportation, and set up special service points to provide full-process agency services such as trade agency, logistics, customs declaration and inspection for settled individual merchants.
The vast number of individual merchants can also easily "sell the world", which is inseparable from the establishment of a normalized docking mechanism between relevant functional departments in Wenzhou and ports, enterprises, shipping, and freight forwarding. "Through intensive docking, we capture the latest market demand in a timely manner, and collect and respond to corporate demands as soon as possible," said the relevant person in charge of the Foreign Trade Office of the Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce.
It is precisely based on the seamless connection between functional departments and the market that Wenzhou has made frequent moves in international trade exports since the beginning of this year: the freighter route to Tokyo has been restored, and the all-cargo route to Osaka and the near-ocean direct route to Vietnam and Thailand have been added. The number of direct ocean routes has been increased to 9; the support policies and application guidelines for "exhibiting on behalf of foreign trade enterprises" have been issued to encourage enterprises to seize the market through the "exhibiting on behalf of" model; 5 freight forwarding companies have been recruited to promote healthy market competition...
The expansion of international trade channels and the increase in orders have made Kangnai Group, an old shoe company in Wenzhou, encounter a happy "trouble". Due to the limited production capacity of the headquarters, Kangnai Group had to send the foreign trade production bonded materials to subsidiaries outside the province for processing. However, according to the process regulations, it was necessary to go through the cross-customs area supervision procedures and pay the risk guarantee. This "annoyance" was captured in time by the docking mechanism. Zheng Laili, president of Kangnai Group, said that at the beginning of this year, with the joint efforts of Wenzhou Customs and Suzhou Customs, the cross-customs zone enterprise group processing trade supervision reform model was implemented in Kangnai, and when companies within the group carried out bonded goods outbound processing business to each other , which not only saves the supervision procedures, but also the guarantee money, which greatly reduces the institutional transaction cost. In the first half of this year, the international trade export of Kangnai Group reached more than 100 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30%.
With precise policies, the export potential of more and more companies has been stimulated. In the first half of this year, Wenzhou achieved a total import and export value of 142.66 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.8%; exports were 121.79 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.4%; import and export growth rates ranked first in the province.
