Recently, Qingdao Bangda Jitong International Logistics Co., Ltd. issued the Certificate of Origin of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) for eight batches of export commodities applications at the Huangdao Customs Declaration Hall under the jurisdiction of Qingdao Customs. With these certificates, customs duties of goods can be reduced by about 6300 yuan when they are cleared in Japan.

Qingdao Bangda Jitong International Trade Logistics Co., Ltd. is a bonded logistics enterprise located in Qingdao area of Shandong Pilot Free Trade Zone. Relying on the company's bonded warehousing business advantages, it provided centralized procurement and distribution services for foreign supermarkets such as Japan, which led a large number of goods produced by domestic small and micro enterprises to enter the international trade market.

"Foreign supermarkets need a large variety of goods and a small quantity of goods each time, and involve many of our suppliers. In order to provide more efficient services, we do not use the traditional general trade mode to export, but the suppliers will export the goods produced by them to the bonded warehouse for collection, and our company will assemble the goods in the bonded warehouse and send them to the foreign supermarkets according to the order." Gao Tongjing, a company salesman, said that in this mode, The information of the certificate of origin applied for by enterprises cannot correspond to the export declaration form of international trade. Moreover, due to the fact that foreign supermarkets generally have few stocks and the tight delivery time, it is difficult for the company to enjoy the benefits at the beginning of the implementation of the RCEP. Last January, only two RCEP certificates of origin were applied for.

After knowing the situation, Qingdao Customs continued to optimize the mode of origin visa in combination with the development needs of new foreign trade formats. "Our visa management implements' push forward and move backward ', pushing the determination of the origin to the collection link, carrying out the pre-examination of the origin with the manufacturer and goods as the unit, and moving the examination node of the certificate shipper and other information from the declaration and export to the actual departure of the goods, basically realizing the' report and review 'of the RCEP certificate of origin." Bi Haijun, director of the Customs Office of Qingdao Customs, introduced.

With the help of the customs innovation of the origin visa mode and the implementation of a series of supporting facilitation measures, in 2022, this enterprise applied for the issuance of more than 1300 RCEP certificates of origin at the customs, and the value of export benefits exceeded 200 million yuan.

"Tariff reduction is the most important institutional opening achievement of RCEP in the field of goods trade, and the certificate of origin is an important voucher for enterprises to enjoy the tariff reduction under the RCEP, And jointly carry out the verification of the origin visa, and constantly improve the level of enterprise benefit RCEP facilitation.

Recently, Qingdao Customs and the Shandong Provincial Council for the Promotion of International Trade jointly carried out the verification of the certificate of origin of Qingdao Golden Leaf Food Co., Ltd.

"Because of the needs of foreign customers, we apply for different certificates of origin at the customs and the CCPIT." Zhao Jinye, the general manager of the company, said that the joint verification by the two competent departments effectively solved the problem of repeated verification by different visa agencies on the same matters.

According to statistics, in 2022, Qingdao Customs, Jinan Customs and the Shandong Provincial Council for the Promotion of International Trade system issued more than 150000 RCEP certificates of origin, ranking the first in all provinces in the country, with the value of export benefits of 41.23 billion yuan, and relevant enterprises can enjoy more than 400 million yuan of tariff concessions from other members of RCEP. Qingdao Customs and Jinan Customs applied the preferential tax rate under the RCEP for 6.53 billion yuan of imported goods, and reduced the tax by 330 million yuan.

As an important platform for China to promote institutional openness and build a new development pattern, RCEP continues to release policy dividends in terms of rules, standards and systems, and boost the development of an open economy.

The approved exporter system is one of the highlights of the implementation of RCEP, allowing the export enterprises approved by the customs to issue the declaration of origin independently. Recently, in the marketing department office of Shandong Universal Fishing Gear Co., Ltd., customs manager Hao Zhiqiang printed out a statement of RCEP origin, and skillfully signed the statement and stamped the company's Chinese and English seals.

"This is the RCEP declaration of origin issued for a batch of fishing rods sent by the company to South Korea. Korean customers can be exempted from the import tariff of 11000 yuan with this declaration issued by our company." Hao Zhiqiang said.

"The customs senior certification enterprises that can master the rules of origin of RCEP and establish a complete management system can independently issue a declaration of origin after being recognized as an approved exporter by the customs directly under the Central Government, and no longer need to apply to the customs or the CCPIT for the issuance of the certificate of origin of RCEP." Bi Haijun said that in 2022, Qingdao Customs and Jinan Customs identified 55 approved exporters, The relevant enterprises independently issued 3192 RCEP declaration of origin, with an export value of 1.15 billion yuan.

"With the increasing convenience of enjoying benefits, enterprises are more and more motivated to use the RCEP policy. Since the second half of 2022, the import and export value and batch of the international trade of enjoying benefits of RCEP in Shandong Province have significantly exceeded the first half of the year, We will make every effort to help enterprises maintain orders, expand the international trade market, and promote the stability and quality of foreign trade.
