The "white list" makes enterprises more powerful

According to the import and export data observation report of Huacheng, at the meeting, the demonstration enterprises of foreign trade import and export were released, and the top ten enterprises of goods trade export and import were launched; The "white list" of enterprises for the entry of special articles of biomedicine and the "white list" of articles for the import of research and development of biomedicine were released. Volvo, Leiboke and Jintie International exchanged the practice of new forms and models of foreign trade such as remanufacturing, biomedical research and development, and international distribution center.

"Entering the 'white list' will make the enterprise's research and development more powerful." Sun Jing, the head of the government affairs and public relations department of Yaoming Junuo, told the reporter that in the past, enterprises had to apply for customs clearance for imported drugs to develop drugs. The precondition for handling the drug customs clearance is that the drug has been registered in China. However, the demand for drug research and development of enterprises is often only a few milligrams each time, so it is obviously unrealistic to enter this registration process. After being included in the "white list", the import of R&D articles does not need to go through the Customs Clearance Form for Imported Drugs, which is the first system innovation in the country to improve efficiency and greatly accelerate the R&D speed of enterprises.
