In recent years, Xianning Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Wuchang Customs have continued to deepen customs and local cooperation and service linkage, and continuously inject new impetus into the development of export-oriented economy. In 2022, Xianning Customs and Bonded Logistics Center and other open platforms will speed up the construction and improvement. The normalized operation of the China-Europe train "Yangtze River" will be carried out with both quality and efficiency. The Xianning-Middle East overseas warehouse will be approved successfully. The city's total import and export volume of international trade will break the 10 billion customs mark for the first time. The convenience of customs clearance will be improved in all aspects, and the "sense of gain" and "satisfaction" of foreign trade enterprises will be significantly enhanced.

"If the enterprise has difficulties, we can't be vague about what we can solve!" This is the first sentence of the staff of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Wuchang Customs when they met with the relevant principals of Yuanqi Forest, a leading beverage enterprise in the High-tech Zone. People in charge of the enterprise are particularly excited by the work style of not being hypocritical and polite and going straight to the theme.

Yuanqi Forest was officially settled and put into operation in Xianning in 2021. It has a series of products including Yuanqi Forest bubble water, burning tea, milk tea, and alien electrolyte water. It has now covered more than 30 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in the country, and is gradually exported to more than 40 countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, and Singapore.

Li Rui, factory manager of Yuanqi Forest (Hubei) Beverage Co., Ltd.: In 2022, we Yuanqi Forest attached great importance to the promotion of the international trade market, adhering to the concept of being a global brand. In 2022, we exported more than 100 million yuan of Yuanqi Forest, with the main markets covering Europe, America and Southeast Asia. In 2023, we expect to have a large increase on this basis. Our main market is still in China, but our management and marketing team have always hoped that Yuanqi Forest will become a global brand and serve customers around the world.

At the site of the production workshop of Weidali, a flat glass production and export enterprise in Chibi City, and Shuangshi, a tea export enterprise in Tongcheng County, the staff of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Wuchang Customs listened to the report on the production and operation of the enterprise and the import and export of foreign trade, learned about the problems and difficulties of the enterprise in terms of financing loans, export process, customer orders, and so on, and worked on the site to help the enterprise solve difficulties and cross the border with "nanny" services. Under the guidance of the joint support, Chibi Tiancheng Wire Industry Co., Ltd. was awarded the "Sample Enterprise of China's Foreign Trade Export Pilot Index" by the customs.

Yuan Feng, head of the Xianning On-site Business Section of Wuchang Customs, said that Wuchang Customs fully implemented the "30 measures of Wuhan Customs to promote the stability and quality of foreign trade" in Xianning, gave full play to its functional advantages, actively publicized and implemented the rules of origin of RCEP, AEO certification, etc., actively sent service packages to the door, and provided policy guidance to enterprises. Xianning Weidali and Wanjin have successfully applied for AEO certification. After Yuanqi Forest was put into production, they helped enterprises achieve product export. A number of customs facilitation measures really help enterprises go abroad, develop and strengthen, and enhance international competitiveness.

In addition to on-site visits and door-to-door services, the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, in conjunction with Wuchang Customs, has also extensively organized a special training session on international trade import and export business, a government, bank and enterprise symposium, etc., to strengthen the precise assistance to foreign trade enterprises at multiple levels and in all directions, give full play to the role of collaborative supervision, information sharing, and business linkage, and strive to strengthen the port function, smooth the international trade channel, and promote the quality and efficiency of the city's international trade.
