Eight Policies Of The State Council Boosted The Development Of Shoes And Clothing In Sichuan

Influenced by the international economic situation,

Foreign trade enterprises generally declined this year.

In the future, the entry and exit inspection and quarantine fees will be reduced and the export enterprises will save a lot of procedures for formalities.

On September 12th, the Executive Council of the State Council discussed and adopted several opinions on promoting the steady growth of foreign trade.

The next few months will be the peak period for foreign trade enterprises to take orders, and the eight policies introduced to Sichuan.

Enterprises are undoubtedly good news.

Chengdu Customs said it would further implement the "opinions" to create a favorable environment for the development of foreign trade enterprises.

As a head of foreign shoe enterprises, Chengdu

General manager Wu Xifan obviously felt the change of the situation.

"No matter the quantity or price of exports, this year is 10% less than that of last year.

For example, shoes that used to sell for $10 could only be sold for $8 this year.

In fact, Sichuan's foreign trade enterprises have encountered similar situations this year.

The opinions put forward that "all inspection and quarantine fees of all statutory inspection and quarantine objects shall be waived in the four quarter of 2012, and the inspection and quarantine charges shall be implemented after 2013".

Wu Xifan told reporters, "the cost of relief is not high, but after the relief, you can save a lot of procedures."

At present, the average customs clearance time of Chengdu customs is 0.3 hours, which is already very fast.

Chengdu customs officials said that in order to improve the efficiency of customs clearance, the next step is to pilot a 24 hour customs clearance.
