General

Since this year, Pudong's international trade has shown strong resilience and vitality. From January to October, the accumulated import and export volume reached 2.02 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.9% year on year, accounting for 58.5% of the city's total. The ten measures recently released to promote the development of Pudong's foreign trade have once again injected strong impetus into the high-quality development of Pudong's foreign trade.

Being included in the "white list" of import enterprises of biomedical research and development articles in Pudong New Area is like "adding wings to a tiger" for Yaoming Junuo. In the past, the import of R&D articles must go through the Customs Clearance Form for Imported Drugs, and the precondition for handling the customs clearance form is that the drugs have been registered in China. There is no need to apply for the Customs Clearance Form for Imported Drugs, which greatly speeds up the research and development of enterprises.

"Expanding the scope of the pilot reform of biomedical special goods and research and development goods" is just a part of the initiative of "promoting the innovative development of service trade". In this regard, Pudong has released a number of "white list" enterprises for the entry of special biomedical products and "white list" enterprises for the import of biomedical research and development products to facilitate research and development.
