2017/7/15 11:25:28

In order to fully promote the stabilization and improvement of foreign trade, the business system of Guangdong Province vigorously cultivates and promotes new forms of foreign trade such as cross-border e-commerce and market procurement trade, increases support for comprehensive foreign trade service enterprises, promotes the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade, and improves the level of trade facilitation.


Guangzhou leads the country in cross-border e-commerce import and export


At present, the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province is fully promoting cross-border e-commerce export business, encouraging eligible cities and enterprises to carry out pilot cross-border e-commerce import business.


Guangzhou has studied and formulated the "Several Measures to Accelerate the Development of Cross border E-commerce in Guangzhou (Trial)" and the "Guangzhou Cross border E-commerce Industrial Park Identification Measures". Accelerate the construction of cross-border e-commerce public platforms, improve the risk prevention system for cross-border e-commerce, and promote the healthy development of cross-border e-commerce business. In 2016, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in Guangzhou reached 14.68 billion yuan, an increase of 1.2 times, and the scale remained the first among pilot cities in China.


The Guangzhou Municipal Commission of Commerce stated that this year, policies will be formulated to accelerate the development of cross-border e-commerce, promote the construction of cross-border e-commerce public service platforms, support leading enterprises in B2B exports, direct purchase imports, and online bonded imports to become larger and stronger, and promote the pilot of online bonded exports. At the same time, we will promote the application of Pazhou Internet Innovation Cluster as a national e-commerce demonstration base and cultivate a group of leading e-commerce enterprises.


At the same time, Guangdong has increased its support for comprehensive foreign trade service enterprises and cultivated new profit growth points. It has identified 46 pilot enterprises for comprehensive foreign trade service in Guangdong Province, supporting them in improving online service platforms, innovating business models, and integrating supply chains, providing integrated services for expanding the market for large, medium, small, and micro enterprises. Among them, Guangdong Huifu Holding Group Co., Ltd. has been approved as a pilot enterprise for national comprehensive foreign trade services.


Market procurement expands traditional foreign trade functions


Market procurement trade method refers to the trade method of purchasing goods within a recognized market agglomeration area, with a single customs declaration value of less than 150000 US dollars (including), and having qualified operators handle export commodity clearance procedures at designated ports of customs.


The first national pilot project to implement market procurement trade in South China was recently launched in the Guangzhou Huadu Leather and Leather Market. The customs has also adopted a new "market procurement" supervision method, which simplifies the classification and declaration of goods declared for export through this supervision method, and implements online supervision. Enterprises can complete the declaration procedures without leaving their homes, and the customs review speed achieves "second review".


Guangzhou has established a multi departmental and efficient management organization system, established a market procurement commodity recognition system characterized by "delineation, retention, and recognition", and established a convenient, efficient, shared, and standardized market procurement trade networking information platform. It has initially formed a development model with Guangzhou characteristics.


The person in charge of the Guangzhou Municipal Commission of Commerce told reporters that relying on the "single window" of Guangzhou international trade, an online information platform covering the entire process of market procurement trade and various business entities has been built, and a policy system centered on the comprehensive management measures for market procurement has been established.


Zheng Jianrong, Director of the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province, stated that the market procurement trade method has further expanded the foreign trade function of traditional commodity markets. It will explore development models with Guangdong characteristics, build a new international trade market that integrates market procurement, e-commerce, exhibition economy, modern logistics and other functions, and drive the transformation and upgrading of traditional professional wholesale markets.


The Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce has clearly stated that although the market procurement trade method has been implemented in the Guangzhou Huadu leather goods market, it is not limited to leather goods, including Zengcheng denim, Zhongshan lighting fixtures, and Foshan furniture, which can all be engaged in market procurement trade here. At the same time, we support and guide mature cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, and Jiangmen to pilot market procurement trade through tourism shopping, actively promote tourism shopping exports, and expand the foreign trade function of commodity trading markets.
