On August 9, the conference room on the fifth floor of Yancheng Nanjiao Hotel had a warm atmosphere. The on-site office meeting of customs business of Korean-funded enterprises in Yancheng Economic Development Zone is being held here. Shen, the general manager of Jiangsu Hyundai Heiske Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., has just been established in Yancheng Economic Development Zone, and is preparing to introduce equipment into production. The Party Secretary and Commissioner of Yancheng Customs smiled and answered the questions of Korean businessmen about customs clearance services seriously. In his own words, he is a stranger. Li Guanchang was very satisfied with the detailed answer to the question and gave a thumbs-up involuntarily. Today, the heads of various business departments of Yancheng Customs attended the meeting, which truly realized the on-site office. More than 40 Korean businessmen present felt the same way as Mr. Shen. Their face-to-face and equal communication with the customs Commissioner and section chief not only solved the problem but also improved communication, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. In recent years, Yancheng Customs has held three such large-scale on-site office meetings in Yancheng Development Zone alone, and nearly 100 enterprises have received help and support from the Customs at such office meetings.
In recent years, Yancheng Customs has continuously strengthened its own construction by supporting local export-oriented economic development and attracting investment. At the same time, it has persisted in efforts to optimize the soft environment for import and export customs clearance and made great efforts to serve Korean-funded enterprises, providing high-quality and efficient services for Yancheng's economic construction and attracting investment, which has won unanimous praise from the local government and Korean-funded enterprises.
Innovate ideas and strive to create a good environment for attracting investment.
After the Yancheng Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government explicitly proposed to build a "Korean-funded zone", Yancheng Customs performed its duties and immediately put forward "eight" commitments to serve Korean-funded enterprises, including: resolutely implementing the customs work policy, carrying out in-depth activities to create a "fair, honest, civilized and efficient" civilized window, based on the overall situation, serving the economy, serving Korean-funded enterprises and other joint ventures, and establishing a good customs image; Promote the open system of customs affairs and implement "sunshine operation"; Set up the duty consultation window of the section chief in the customs declaration hall to consult or handle affairs for Korean-funded enterprises, so as to achieve "five quick and five operations" and show the good spirit of customs officers; Efforts should be made to explore effective supervision channels with simple procedures, in place supervision and meeting the requirements of regional economic development, and take practical measures to provide more convenient customs clearance services for Korean-funded enterprises to handle customs business; Implement the system of customs officers' reception day and grassroots investigation, and establish a dialogue mechanism with Korean-funded enterprises; Strive for a breakthrough in creating a good investment soft environment and strive to create a high-quality and healthy import and export processing trade order; Strengthen professional training for managers of Korean-funded enterprises, and create conditions for Korean-funded enterprises within their jurisdiction to make full use of national preferential policies; Actively support the development of Yancheng processing trade business, especially Korean-funded enterprises.
The Customs Party Group insists on actively participating in investment promotion activities organized by local governments, negotiating and signing major projects, and actively publicizing Yancheng's investment environment, national preferential policies and convenient customs clearance means and measures. Li Yuming, secretary of the Customs Party Committee, summed up all the service promises in one sentence: As long as Korean-funded enterprises enjoy customs clearance services at other ports, they can also enjoy them at Yancheng Customs and get better services.
Service innovation sincerely solves problems for Korean-funded enterprises
In order to serve Dongfeng Da Yue Kia Motors Co., Ltd., the largest Sino-Korean joint venture in Yancheng area, and dozens of Korean spare parts manufacturers, Yancheng Shipping adjusted two departments to be stationed at the customs supervision point directly under Yanfu in 2003 to directly serve automobile and spare parts manufacturers, providing them with a series of customs clearance services such as "one declaration, one inspection, one release", transit transportation supervision, direct air transfer supervision and land transit supervision.
As for Yancheng Airport, in order to cooperate with the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to improve the investment environment and facilitate Korean businessmen to invest in Yancheng, Yancheng Airport actively supported the opening of temporary chartered flight for international flights in 2004, and did a good job in travel inspection. In the past two years, the customs has supervised nearly 500 flights, with nearly 30,000 people entering and leaving the country. ...
At the customs control point directly under Yanfu, in order to allow import and export enterprises, especially Korean-funded enterprises, to enjoy the "zero obstacle" customs clearance service, the customs has implemented the "24-hour" customs clearance service and the "5+2" working system. Even on the day of family reunion on Lunar New Year's Day, customs officers still stick to their posts and provide customs clearance services for enterprises. According to incomplete statistics, since the opening of the customs port directly under Yanfu, 44 customs officers have worked overtime 200 times a week on average, 1600 hours. .....
In 2006, in order to reduce the cost of enterprise customs clearance and reduce transit links, the Customs officially launched the "regional customs clearance reform", and at the same time timely integrated a series of scientific and technological means to facilitate enterprise customs clearance, such as "electronic port" and "online payment", to bring convenience to enterprises. In 2005, the import and export freight volume of Yancheng Port reached 57,925 tons, while it reached 40,000 tons in the first half of recent years, and the import and export logistics cost of enterprises decreased in a curve. According to preliminary estimates, in the first half of this year, the import and export costs of goods under the regional customs clearance of enterprises in Yancheng area saved tens of millions of yuan. ...
Yancheng Customs earnestly fulfills the commitments of service enterprises and Korean-funded enterprises in practical work, focusing on serving Korean-funded enterprises, and always insists on being at the forefront to do a good job in serving Korean-funded enterprises, so as to really do practical things and do good things for Korean-funded enterprises.
Cooperation, innovation, equality and mutual assistance and the development of Korean-funded enterprises
Establishing a new strategic partnership of equality and mutual assistance with Korean-funded enterprises is an innovative move for Yancheng Customs to serve Korean-funded enterprises. Customs insists on changing from traditional law enforcers and managers to service providers, and insists on integrating enterprise development with customs self-construction.
What is the speed of customs clearance? What are the difficulties in customs clearance for Korean-funded enterprises? These problems are the most concerned by Yancheng Customs in serving Korean-funded enterprises. As a result, the customs party group left itself behind and took the initiative to go deep into corporate services and receive consultation. The key is to improve execution, and the difficulty is to establish a communication mechanism between customs and enterprises. To this end, the Customs has vigorously promoted the system of opening customs affairs, set up a hotline for customs officials, held regular seminars and on-site business meetings for customs enterprises, listened to the opinions and suggestions of enterprises on customs work, and ensured the smooth communication hotline with Korean-funded enterprises.
In addition, the customs also pays attention to strengthening the standardization and management of Korean-funded enterprises and supporting their healthy development on a benign track. As far as supporting the construction of enterprise talent team is concerned, the Customs has actively held training courses on import and export business knowledge in recent years, using this form to let enterprises know more about the national foreign trade policy and import and export customs clearance knowledge, so that the Customs can directly face enterprises to accept their opinions and needs and build a platform for mutual support. The platform has trained nearly 200 managers of most large and medium-sized import and export enterprises in Yancheng, greatly improving the knowledge level of import and export business of relevant personnel of enterprises and promoting the construction of enterprise talent team.
While promoting the development of Korean-funded enterprises, the self-construction of Yancheng Customs has also been promoted. At present, the contribution rate of Korean-funded enterprises to customs tax revenue exceeds 90%. Customs revenue in 2003 was 365 million yuan, in 2004 it was 600 million yuan, in 2005 it was 700 million yuan, and in June and July this year it was 7170,000 yuan. It is estimated that the annual tax revenue will exceed10 billion yuan for the first time.
