New Measures Of The State Council On Foreign Trade: National Integration Clearance

As the world's largest cargo trading country, China's position in the global trade map is undeniable.

However, as the world economic recovery is weak and the Chinese economy has entered the new normal, the traditional strength of the trading powers has no longer reached the high growth rate of about 20% in the past.

How to maintain stable development of foreign trade, the executive meeting of the State Council, held yesterday (March 18th), has made great efforts to facilitate trade facilitation.

The meeting confirmed that, on the basis of existing foundations, it would abolish and lower a number of examination and approval matters related to port customs clearance and import and export links, improve customs clearance services, strengthen the opening of Law Enforcement Affairs at the ports, innovate the customs clearance cooperation mechanism, speed up cross regional and inter departmental construction of large customs clearance, and promote the integration of the whole country.

In addition, the rapid growth of cross-border

It has also become the topic of executive meeting.

Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce and international trade and economic cooperation, told the daily economic news reporter that the main beneficiaries of cross-border e-commerce are small and medium-sized enterprises. This new paction has saved paction costs, making the original small-scale trade impossible to achieve.

Stable development of foreign trade is crucial.

Over the past thirty years since reform and opening up,

It has played an important role in stimulating China's economic growth.

As the largest developing country in the world, China has developed the export-oriented economy with the advantages of labor, land and other factors, and soon became the world's first commodity trading power.

However, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, the global market was hit hard, and the development of China's cargo trade also posed a challenge.

From 2012 to 2014, the growth of China's import and export trade failed to reach its goal for the first time in three years.

In January this year, the value of imports and exports dropped by 10.9% compared with the same period last year, of which the total value of imports dropped by nearly 20%.

In February, the gross value of imports and exports fell by more than 20%, though the total value of imports and exports turned around.

"Promoting the steady development of foreign trade is of vital importance to achieving economic speed reduction and increasing quantity and quality."

Premier Li Keqiang said at the executive session of the State Council.

This year's government work report set a target of 6% for foreign trade growth.

According to the Ministry of Commerce, the contribution rate of foreign trade to economic growth in 2014 is about 10.5%.

Bai Ming believes that the growth of foreign trade needs to be realistic. "The period of rapid expansion of trade has passed. Now China is already a trading power."

There's not much room left for you. "

He believes that for foreign trade growth does not have to deliberately demand, about 6% of this figure "do not pull the national economy hind legs", the current focus is to aim at pformation and upgrading.

This year's government work report clearly puts forward policies and measures to promote the pformation and upgrading of foreign trade and implement new advantages in foreign trade competition, and expand the comprehensive pilot project for cross-border e-commerce.

Subsequently, Hangzhou was approved as the first comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot area in China.

The executive meeting held this year to support the construction of a comprehensive pilot area for cross border e-commerce, establish and improve customs clearance management and quality and safety supervision system, and create a more relaxed and convenient environment for entrepreneurial innovation.

Bai Ming said that the main beneficiaries of cross-border e-commerce are small and medium-sized enterprises. This new paction method saves paction costs, making the original "small trade" that can not be "worthwhile".

Datong promotes trade growth

In August last year, the State Council held a national forum on port work - a national port working conference held 17 years later.

At this meeting, Wang Yang, vice premier of the State Council, pointed out that the port is an important support for China's open economy. Without the development of ports, there would be no status as the world's largest trading power.

Ports are also the "experimental fields" of institutional reform. Many major reform measures are based on port trials.

In February this year, the State Council promulgated the "three mutual" reform plan for promoting the construction of large customs clearance (hereinafter referred to as the "plan").

The plan put forward "strive to form a large clearance management system and mechanism in line with China's national conditions and international competitiveness by 2020."

The executive meeting held that we need to innovate the mechanism of large customs clearance, speed up cross regional and cross sectoral clearance construction, and promote national integration clearance.

"Single window".

A simple understanding of the so-called "single window" means that traders can submit documents or electronic data required for import and export or pshipment of goods through an entry to all relevant government agencies, and the examination results can also be notified to applicants through a single window.

In fact, customs clearance brings more than convenience.

Bai Ming said that some analysts believe that trade facilitation can increase world trade by US $1 trillion.

As the first big country in trade in goods, China's efforts in facilitating trade facilitation are obvious for stimulating the growth of Global trade.
