In order to further optimize the port business environment and promote cross-border trade facilitation, this year, the General Administration of Customs proposed to promote paperless customs clearance of import tariff quotas among the measures to promote the stability and quality improvement of foreign trade. On September 28, the People’s Republic of China announced the pilot implementation of online verification of three types of certificates (certificates) including agricultural product import tariff quota certificates. This means that the import tariff quota certificate has moved from a paper document to an electronic one.

Previously, these goods used paper tariff quota certificates, and enterprises needed to go to the customs business window to handle relevant procedures on-site with the paper tariff quota certificates.

Now that the electronic certificate of tariff quota is used, there is no need to go to the customs window to manually handle tariff quota-related business. You only need to go through the international trade ‘single window’ to achieve the tariff quota line. online application, automatic verification and write-off and paperless customs clearance.” Sun Nan, the business manager of a freight forwarding company in Horgos who is responsible for the customs clearance of this batch of goods, said that this can greatly reduce the labor and time costs of enterprises to handle relevant procedures, especially During this round of epidemic, the customs declaration efficiency of enterprises has been greatly improved, which is conducive to the facilitated customs clearance of goods.
According to Horgos Customs statistics, in the first ten months of this year, wool imports at the Horgos port totaled 4,314.8 tons, a year-on-year increase of 102%. “Promoting paperless customs clearance of import tariff quotas is an important measure for the customs to reduce corporate costs and alleviate corporate difficulties.” said Li Xuyang, deputy section chief of the Horgos Customs Comprehensive Business Section.
In order to facilitate the electronicization of tariff quota certificates and customs clearance of goods, Horgos Customs reminds enterprises that there is no limit on the number of times the electronic tariff quota certificate can be used. If the certificate has been issued before the implementation of the pilot, enterprises can go through the import procedures with the customs within the validity period with the paper tariff quota certificate.
