the china (yunnan) pilot free trade zone (hereinafter referred to as the yunnan pilot free trade zone) was established on august 30, 2019. over the past five years, kunming customs has closely focused on the "border and cross-border" characteristics of the yunnan pilot free trade zone, deeply promoted the construction of smart customs and the "smart customs power country" action, explored and strengthened the innovation of customs supervision systems in multiple fields, continuously released the policy and system dividends of the yunnan pilot free trade zone, helped the high-quality development of the yunnan pilot free trade zone, and created a new highland for border opening. from january to august this year, the total import and export value of the yunnan pilot free trade zone reached 28.21 billion yuan, an increase of 18.9% year-on-year.
focusing on the characteristics, the new supervision model reduces the burden on enterprises and increases efficiency
at the flight training site of yunnan oriental flight training co., ltd. in kunming comprehensive bonded zone (economic development zone), trainees are experiencing simulator operation. kunming has kunming changshui international airport, one of the eight major regional hub airports in china. it is an international aviation hub facing south asia and southeast asia, and there is a large demand for local training of civil aviation talents. however, as a high-value imported equipment, the import cost of simulators occupied the capital cost of enterprises, which once caused trouble for the development of flight training.
to support the development and upgrading of aviation training, services and logistics and transportation related industries in yunnan, kunming customs has given full play to the policy advantages of the "two overlapping zones" of the free trade pilot zone and the comprehensive bonded zone, and innovated the "comprehensive bonded zone flight simulator training" supervision model to help imported flight simulators and other high-value equipment enjoy specific tax preferential policies when entering the zone. under this model, five boeing and other flight simulators have been introduced in a bonded manner, saving a total of more than 57 million yuan in taxes and costs. the customs has also done a good job in the reporting and review of training personnel and the construction of supporting service facilities, providing convenience for companies to provide aviation training services in the zone.
"with the support of customs policies, we have achieved full bonded coverage of the simulated flight training stage, effectively reducing the company's operating costs. from january to august, the company has trained more than 34,000 flight trainees and flight attendants in total." said yu da, general manager of yunnan oriental flight training co., ltd.
located in the new high ground of reform and opening up, kunming customs has been working hard to boldly try, boldly break through, and independently reform. over the past five years, it has achieved fruitful results in institutional innovation. it has successively launched six innovative customs supervision measures, including release of export goods with patent disputes through guarantee, internet + border trade, quarantine of outbound bamboo, wood and grass products, and flight simulator training in comprehensive bonded areas. these measures have been registered by the general administration of customs and are being piloted in yunnan.
following the results, the pilot experience was replicated and promoted with great success
"the promotion of the 'cloud issuance' model has brought us great convenience. now we can get the export product inspection and quarantine certificate in less than half a working day. we can also choose to print it by ourselves, which greatly saves personnel, transportation and time costs." he shengke, head of yunnan huocheng import and export co., ltd., said happily while looking at the "freshly baked" export fresh cut flower inspection and quarantine certificate in his hand.
as a major exporter of agricultural and food products, whether yunnan's "yunnan flowers", "yunnan vegetables" and "yunnan fruits" can be exported "fresh" is crucial to the production and operation of enterprises and the development of yunnan's foreign trade. the customs inspection and quarantine certificate is the "pass" for the smooth export of animal and plant products, food and other commodities. in the past, enterprises usually had to go to the customs hall to apply for a certificate, which was time-consuming and laborious. now, relying on the "cloud issuance" platform for export goods inspection and quarantine certificates, the new model of "enterprise self-declaration, customs intelligent review, and enterprise self-service certificate issuance" has achieved zero-face-to-face and convenient application for relevant documents. enterprises can apply for certificates without leaving home, and can arrange production and export plans more flexibly.
in recent years, kunming customs has established a joint research and disposal mechanism based on local conditions on the basis of carrying out innovation work in the customs supervision system, and organized the replication and promotion of 62 customs-related tasks issued by the state council. among them, 36 items, represented by the "cloud issuance platform for export goods inspection and quarantine certificates", have been implemented in yunnan province.
according to statistics, since the "cloud issuance platform for export goods inspection and quarantine certificates" was launched on april 10, 2023, kunming customs has issued 228,000 inspection and quarantine certificates through the "cloud issuance" model.
adhering to the advantages, the customs clearance mode is optimized and upgraded to improve the quality and efficiency of customs clearance
at the customs supervision area of beishan international cargo yard at hekou port in honghe prefecture, trucks loaded with fresh sweet potatoes, watermelons and other agricultural products from vietnam are quickly completing customs clearance through the "direct delivery" mode and are ready to be shipped to the domestic market.
"april to september every year is the peak season for importing vietnamese agricultural products. since the customs introduced the new policy, our inbound goods do not need to be inspected. when the cargo transport vehicles swipe their cards to enter the yard, the system will prompt them to use the 'direct delivery' mode. at this time, the vehicles can drive directly out of the yard. it only takes 15 minutes for a single batch of goods to go from entry to exit. the customs clearance efficiency has been greatly improved, and the company's benefits have been effectively guaranteed." he zengping, head of the on-site operations department of hekou yunnan-vietnam freight yard logistics co., ltd. introduced.
yunnan province is located in the southwest of china. it is the radiation center of my country facing south asia and southeast asia, and is also an international channel connecting china with south asia and southeast asian countries. its 28 ports are connected with myanmar, laos and vietnam respectively, which also provides unique conditions for the development of port economy.
in order to further improve the level of cross-border logistics, kunming customs, in conjunction with the construction of smart customs, took the lead in launching the "direct delivery" customs clearance mode for land transportation at the hekou highway port in the honghe area of the free trade pilot zone. it is reported that this mode is based on the four-stage logistics supervision mode of "pre-entry-entry-entry-exit", relying on 5g, internet of things and other technologies to carry out integrated reconstruction and expansion of port functional facilities, and simultaneously implement intelligent supervision methods such as optimizing the configuration of checkpoint parameters, launching a new version of the smart logistics system, and adding container number identification equipment, which can effectively improve the accuracy of customs supervision and customs clearance efficiency.
at the same time, kunming customs has implemented precise policies based on the characteristics of different ports. based on the "advance declaration" customs clearance mode for goods, it has launched "smart logistics 2.0" to explore innovative supervision models that activate the development of smart ports through the construction of smart customs, and promote the development of resource economy, park economy, and port economy in yunnan. in the first eight months of this year, kunming customs supervised a total of 994,700 inbound and outbound road transport vehicles, an increase of 10.53% year-on-year. the dividends from the construction of the free trade pilot zone have driven the continued release of port vitality.
