　　If you open the column,

　　Building a free trade pilot zone is an important strategic measure for the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core to promote reform and opening up in the new era. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the construction of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone. In the past ten years, their respective pilot free trade zones have implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, emancipated their minds, kept upright and innovated, launched a large number of basic and pioneering reform and opening-up measures, and formed many landmark and leading institutional innovations, effectively playing the role of a comprehensive experimental platform for reform and opening up.

　　Starting from today, this newspaper will open a column entitled "10th Anniversary Tour of Pilot Free Trade Zone Construction", which will fully report the course of China’s pilot free trade zone construction in the past 10 years, and reflect the new breakthroughs and progress made in the transformation of government functions, the strategy of serving the country, the liberalization and facilitation of investment and trade, and the financial openness and innovation to serve the real economy.

　　Recently, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions on further promoting the construction of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, stressing that in the new journey, on the basis of comprehensively summing up the ten-year construction experience, we should thoroughly implement the upgrading strategy of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, be brave in pioneering and tackling difficulties, explore in a wider field and at a deeper level, and strive to build a higher-level pilot free trade zone.

　　In September 2013, China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone was established. In the past ten years, the construction of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone has been advancing all the way, and 21 pilot free trade zones have been set up in six batches, basically forming a new pattern of reform and opening up covering the east, west, north and south, and coordinating the coastal inland areas. In the new era and new journey, the respective trade pilot zones continue to change their concepts, bravely stand at the forefront of the times, comprehensively deepen reform and expand opening up, promote institutional innovation, and promote high-quality development.

　　 　There has been a new breakthrough in institutional innovation

　　Today, the products of South China University of Technology Industry Co., Ltd. have covered many overseas markets such as Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania, thanks to various reform measures in Hubei Pilot Free Trade Zone.

　　For example, Zhang Xi, manager of the international business department of South China University of Technology, said: "Under the new mode of consolidated taxation, enterprises can first remove the goods and then pay taxes centrally within the prescribed tax payment period, effectively reducing the financial pressure on enterprises and reducing customs clearance costs." More than that, from "paperless" to "free filling", to "one-stop online" and finally to "one-day", the export tax rebate process has been continuously optimized and convenient. In 2022, the total export tax rebate of South China University of Technology reached 123 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22%.

　　Since the establishment of the Pilot Free Trade Zone, it has shouldered the heavy responsibility of institutional innovation and reform breakthrough. In the past ten years, the respective pilot free trade zones have taken institutional innovation as the core, replicability and popularization as the basic requirements, and risk prevention and control as the bottom line, and made every effort to promote reform and opening-up innovation in related fields, exploring new ways and accumulating new experiences for comprehensively deepening reform and opening up.

　　Deepen the reform of the commercial system and stimulate the vitality of enterprises. Nansha District of Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone has realized "no appointment", "zero meeting", "all-weather", "paperless" and "intelligent" through the new mode of intelligent electronic registration. Through the implementation of standardized and intelligent declaration, the pass rate of self-declaration of enterprise name and the first application rate of electronic registration in the whole process all exceeded 90%, and the daily average business handling capacity of registrants increased by more than 30%. Applicants can print their own business licenses in 10 minutes at the earliest.

　　Accelerate the reform of trade facilitation and improve the timeliness of customs clearance. In the West Coast Comprehensive Bonded Zone of Qingdao Area in Shandong Pilot Free Trade Zone, 16 containers and 314 tons of imported cotton passed through the intelligent weighing platform, and the rapid weighing and certification were completed within half an hour. Qingdao Huangdao Port is the largest cotton import port in China, accounting for about 60% of the country’s imports. In order to improve the level of imported cotton trade facilitation, in August 2020, Huangdao Customs launched the "integrated inspection" supervision mode of imported cotton in Qingdao Free Trade Zone, integrating customs port quarantine, destination inspection, weight identification, sampling and inspection, and improving the convenience of imported cotton customs clearance.

　　On August 18th, China Ship Fuel Co., Ltd. completed the approval of a paperless business of direct supply of bonded fuel oil across customs areas. This batch of bonded fuel is delivered from Zhoushan oil depot, transported to Meishan Port Area of Zhoushan Port, Ningbo, and added to international navigation ships. Hangzhou Customs focused on the open development of the whole oil and gas industry chain, continued to deepen the regulatory reform, and helped Zhoushan area of Zhejiang Pilot Free Trade Zone to build the largest large-scale petrochemical base, energy security base and oil and gas trading port in China.

　　Explore innovation in the financial sector and serve the development of the real economy. Since 2013, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange has tried 24 innovative measures for foreign exchange management in six batches of free trade trials, and copied and promoted nearly 20 measures nationwide in accordance with the principle of "mature one and copy one". In 2022, the cross-border revenue and expenditure of the Pilot Free Trade Zone increased by 14.7% year-on-year, 8.7 percentage points higher than that of the whole country.

　　 　Promote opening up and make new progress.

　　On the afternoon of September 1st, a remanufactured engine imported by Volvo Construction Equipment (China) Co., Ltd. for articulated off-highway dump trucks was declared at Shanghai Pudong Customs and delivered directly to the enterprise warehouse. "This engine is no less than a new product in terms of quality characteristics and safety and environmental protection performance. The smooth customs clearance of the first order of goods has reassured us to carry out the import business of overseas remanufactured products in the future. " Chen Chaoping, vice president of Volvo construction equipment service and spare parts, said.

　　At the beginning of the establishment of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, it set its sights on docking international high-standard economic and trade rules, took the lead in implementing the national treatment plus negative list management model before foreign investment access, and promoted the historical transformation of the investment management system. The development of Volvo in China is closely related to a series of policies of Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone to promote high-level opening to the outside world. Four years ago, the company completed the "first order" offshore trade in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, and then the company moved its Asian headquarters to Shanghai. Now Volvo has become the first crab-eating enterprise in the "Pilot Import of Remanufactured Products in Key Industries" in China.

　　Openness is a gene engraved in the bones of the Pilot Free Trade Zone. In the past ten years, the Pilot Free Trade Zone has been guided by a high level of openness, focused on exploring an institutional system that is in line with international economic and trade rules, systematically promoted reforms that conform to market rules, and achieved a series of breakthrough and leading innovations.

　　Since the Pilot Free Trade Zone launched the first negative list of foreign investment access in China, after seven reductions, the number of negative list items has been reduced from the initial 190 to 27, and the number of manufacturing items has been zero. In 2021, the first negative list of cross-border service trade was launched in Hainan to promote the better connection between China’s service trade management and international high-standard economic and trade rules. At present, the list has been well implemented in Hainan, which has become an important reform in the opening up of China’s service industry and laid a solid foundation for its implementation in a wider scope.

　　Differentiated exploration, opening up along the border has a new atmosphere. At Pingxiang Friendship Pass Port in Chongzuo Area of Guangxi Pilot Free Trade Zone, trucks loaded with fruits imported from ASEAN cleared customs in an orderly manner. Youyiguan Port is one of the most convenient land ports from China to Vietnam and other ASEAN countries. In order to ensure "zero delay" in fruit clearance in peak season, Youyiguan Port re-optimizes the traffic routes of inbound and outbound vehicles, and takes the lead in implementing "multi-card integration" of customs and border inspection departments at border ports across the country to share a bayonet, greatly shortening the traffic time of vehicles. In the first half of this year, ASEAN fruits imported through Youyiguan Port reached 381,000 tons, with a value of 11.39 billion yuan, up by 130.1% and 520.6% respectively.

　　"From promoting the upgrading of port energy level to promoting the construction of major open platforms, from promoting the development of industries with distinctive advantages to optimizing the port business environment, Guangxi will further give play to the policy advantages of the Pilot Free Trade Zone and promote the realization of high-level opening up." Bai Lan, full-time deputy director of the China (Guangxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone Office, said.

　　In 2022, 21 pilot free trade zones accounted for 18.1% of foreign investment and 17.9% of import and export trade in China, with less than four thousandths of land area, and further increased to 18.4% and 18.6% in the first half of this year.

　　 　High-quality development has achieved new results

　　On September 21st, the opening ceremony of Wazhou Wind Power Spindle Bearing Company was held in Dalian, Liaoning Pilot Free Trade Zone. The total investment of the project is 1 billion yuan, with a total construction area of 32,000 square meters. The new factory will intellectualize and digitize the traditional production process and management mode, and mainly build a series of fist products with high-end brand inheritance of Wazhou. It is estimated that the annual output of bearings will be 36,000 sets, with an annual output value exceeding 1.5 billion yuan.

　　Dalian Free Trade Zone gives full play to the advantages of equipment manufacturing technology and talents in the old industrial base in Northeast China and the advantages of pioneering and testing in the Pilot Free Trade Zone, and strives to cultivate and expand advanced equipment manufacturing industrial clusters. Now, it has formed a number of characteristic subdivisions such as CNC machine tools, refrigeration equipment, special containers, auxiliary power devices, nuclear power equipment and special motors. There are 154 advanced equipment manufacturing enterprises above designated size in the region, with an output value of 28.1 billion yuan in 2022.

　　In the past ten years, the respective pilot trade zones have actively promoted the development of new industries, new formats and new models, and built a number of industrial clusters with strong competitiveness, injecting new kinetic energy into high-quality development.

　　Create a public service platform and promote the agglomeration of new industrial elements. Nanjing Area of Jiangsu Pilot Free Trade Zone has built the first integrated circuit public service platform covering all production factors in China, highlighting demand orientation and transforming and upgrading the service industry. "The platform jointly provides all-factor services such as public technology, talent training and core machine linkage for integrated circuit enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta." Lin Qikun, member of the Party Working Committee of Nanjing Jiangbei New District and deputy director of the Management Committee, said that up to now, the platform has provided more than 13,000 public technical services, with a service amount of over 500 million yuan, supporting the research and development innovation of nearly 600 kinds of chip products.

　　In response to market demand, Nanjing Customs cooperated with the commercial department to formulate an implementation plan for enterprises in the Pilot Free Trade Zone to carry out bonded maintenance business according to the maintenance catalogue of the comprehensive bonded zone, and promoted the bonded maintenance policy to cover the Pilot Free Trade Zone.

　　Seize the new wave of digitalization and promote the vigorous development of new formats. In March of this year, Zhejiang Pilot Free Trade Zone released the Action Plan for Promoting the Development of China (Zhejiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone (2023— 2027), clearly pointed out that it will build a leading digital economy industrial system, take the lead in integrating high-standard digital trade rules, and promote the establishment of a data-based system. Strive to increase the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce to 420 billion yuan by 2027, the trade volume of digital services to 250 billion yuan, and the growth rate of added value of core manufacturing industries in the digital economy to maintain above 8%.

　　Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone has established a modern industrial system with six major industries as the core: China Core, Innovative Medicine, Intelligent Manufacturing, Blue Sky Dream, Future Car and Data Port. Tianjin Pilot Free Trade Zone has gathered strength to develop the financial leasing industry and become the second largest gathering place for aircraft leasing in the world. There are tens of thousands of oil and gas enterprises in Zhejiang Pilot Free Trade Zone, and the scale of bonded fuel oil filling ranks fifth in the world. Hubei Pilot Free Trade Zone has gathered more than 16,000 optoelectronic information enterprises, making it the largest technology R&D and production base in the field of optical communication in China. There are more than 4,000 biomedical enterprises in Jiangsu Pilot Free Trade Zone, with an annual output value of over 400 billion yuan.

　　Standing at a new starting point, China Pilot Free Trade Zone is taking high-level opening as the guide, taking institutional innovation as the core, coordinating development and safety, connecting international economic and trade rules with high standards, deepening institutional opening, strengthening overall planning and system integration of reform, promoting the innovative development of the whole industrial chain, giving full play to the demonstration role of Pilot Free Trade Zone, and striving to make greater contributions to promoting Chinese modernization.

All ashore, not one less!

Recently, six students from the same dormitory of the School of Mechanical Engineering, North University of China collectively participated in the postgraduate study. During the undergraduate study, 406 Dormitory was "brilliant"-the average credit score was as high as 4.14, and it won 19 scholarships and 50 honors above the university level … They helped and encouraged each other for four years, and finally six students were sent to Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, xidian university, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and north university of china respectively.

Learning is a common interest without "volume"

Teenagers’ dreams are not limited to their hearts, but also to their actions.

From the first day when six students moved to the dormitory, learning became everyone’s common interest.

The six seats in the middle of the first row of the class will always be the "exclusive seats" of the 406 dormitory. Helping each other to occupy seats is not only the first stop of the friendship between six people, but also the last class of the university.

After school, six people in the dormitory go to the library together, rain or shine. In the final review stage, everyone will be the "review teacher" of a course, sorting out the key points of the exam and explaining the difficulties of the course for everyone.

"There are always classmates who say that our dormitory is too’ rolled’, but it is not. Learning is really the common interest of all six of us." Gao Lei, who was sent to xidian university, said.

Cooperation is the key to all employees’ research.

Science and technology competition is an important part of the road to research. Although six people in the 406 dormitory belong to different teams, the dormitory has become everyone’s "support group".

Wang Xuetong, who was sent to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, is good at three-dimensional modeling, and other related problems encountered in project construction can be solved when they are brought back to the dormitory. At the same time, dormitory members often share competition information in the group, and everyone needs what they want, which has become an important weight for the success of the research in the future.

No victory is easy to come by. Although six students in the dormitory rank among the top ten in their majors, they are still somewhat "confused" when faced with the choice of medical insurance, master’s degree and master’s degree in engineering.

At critical moments, six people often analyze everyone’s "situation" in the form of meetings and collect information from all sides. Especially in the school selection stage of Baoyan Foreign School, when only Wang Xuetong didn’t receive the admission notice, all the dormitory members went into battle and actively recommended it to teachers in different universities, and finally got the admission notice from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications just before the system was closed.

In the end, two members of the dormitory, Wang Wentao and Chen Haowen, landed in north university of china, and four members, Gao Lei, Wang Xuetong, Wang Yukun and Ma Xin, were sent to xidian university, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing Institute of Technology and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics respectively.

Cherish, friendship will last forever.

Baoyan is not a process of fighting alone, but a process of mutual achievement. Strong friendship has become a "catalyst" on their road to baoyan.

After four years of living together, although everyone is full of expectations for the future, they are still reluctant.

"It’s rare to meet such a roommate!" Ma Xin, who was sent to Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said with emotion, "We have the same attitude towards learning and entertainment-we are fully engaged in learning and enjoy playing!"

There is also an interesting agreement that has been adhered to in the 406 dormitory, that is, every time someone with a higher scholarship will invite someone with a lower scholarship to dinner.

Soon, everyone will go to different colleges and universities for further study, and they have made an agreement, hoping to have a meal at everyone’s school, so as to make this hard-won friendship continue.

Gathering is a fire, scattering is all over the sky.

The days of struggle together are the most shining memories of these six North American students in their youth. With the school motto of "knowing what to do", they will help each other in the same boat and cut the waves, and they will certainly take each other’s blessings to a brighter future.

　　Since January 1 this year, tariffs have started a new round of adjustment, and "zero tariff" has become a high-frequency word-

　　Implement zero tariffs on some anticancer drugs, medicines and raw materials for rare diseases; The provisional import tax rate of lithium chloride, cobalt carbonate and seed sweet corn was reduced to zero; China and Nicaragua immediately implement zero tariffs on products with about 60% of their respective tax items …

　　Experts said that in recent years, the overall tariff level in China has been continuously reduced, and more and more commodities have entered the "zero tariff era", which is not only conducive to enhancing the linkage effect of the two resources in the domestic and international markets, enhancing people’s livelihood and welfare, benefiting the development of enterprises, maintaining the stability and smoothness of the domestic industrial chain supply chain, but also conducive to promoting high-level opening up and allowing the world to share more opportunities for China’s development.

　　Imported goods—

　　The provisional tax rates for some anticancer drugs and resource commodities are adjusted to zero.

　　According to the latest tariff adjustment plan for 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the "plan"), from January 1st, China implemented a provisional import tariff rate lower than the MFN tariff rate for 1010 commodities.

　　After combing this plan, the reporter found that the provisional import tax rate of some drugs and raw materials was directly adjusted to zero, such as anticancer drugs for treating liver malignant tumors, raw materials for rare diseases for treating idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, and ipratropium bromide solution for drug inhalation which can be widely used in the treatment of childhood asthma diseases in clinic.

　　"The implementation of zero tariffs on some anticancer drugs, drugs and raw materials for rare diseases will help reduce the cost of drugs, reduce the burden of drugs for patients, especially cancer patients, and have more drug choices to further protect people’s lives and health." Zhang Jianping, deputy director of the Academic Committee of the International Trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in fact, in recent years, medicine has been the key area of tax reduction, and the import tariffs on many anticancer drugs, rare diseases and related raw materials have been reduced to zero.

　　On May 1, 2018, China adjusted the import tariffs on some drugs and cancelled the import tariffs on 28 drugs, including many kinds of imported anticancer drugs. Relevant measures quickly took effect. In October of that year, 17 kinds of anticancer drugs were included in the medical insurance reimbursement catalogue, with an average decrease of 56.7% compared with the previous average retail price.

　　Since then, China has successively cancelled a number of import tariffs on drugs and raw materials: in 2019, the provisional import tax rate of anticancer drug raw materials such as oxaliplatin, carboplatin, nedaplatin and cisplatin was adjusted to zero; In 2020, zero tariffs will be imposed on drugs for treating asthma and raw materials for producing new diabetes drugs, such as Engelgin, Liggliptin and Vigliptin; In 2021, the second batch of raw materials for anticancer drugs and rare diseases will be subject to zero tariffs; In 2022, zero tariff will be imposed on radium chloride injection, a new anticancer drug.

　　It’s not just drugs that are listed as "zero tariffs". This plan also explicitly reduces the import tariffs on lithium chloride, cobalt carbonate, low arsenic fluorite, sweet corn, coriander, burdock seeds and other commodities, and the provisional import tax rate has reached zero. According to experts’ analysis, lithium chloride, cobalt carbonate and other commodities are key raw materials for the new energy automobile industry, and fluorite is an important mineral resource. The obvious reduction of import tariffs on these products will help enterprises to allocate resources on a global scale, reduce production costs and enhance the resilience of the industrial chain supply chain.

　　"This tariff reduction mentioned coriander, which is often said by everyone, which is a major positive for our company’s imports." Xu Minghui, deputy general manager of Shandong Golden Seed Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. said that the company imports about 300 tons of coriander seeds every year, which used to cost about one kilogram of 15 yuan. After reducing tariffs, the import cost alone can save more than 600,000 yuan a year, which will help enterprises achieve better development.

　　Free trade partner-

　　The number of products with mutually cancelled tariffs has gradually increased.

　　This tariff adjustment involves not only the provisional import tax rate, but also the agreed tax rate. Zero tariff is also one of the highlights.

　　On January 2nd, Hubei ushered in the first "Zero Tariff" certificate of China-Nicaragua Free Trade Agreement. On the same day, Wuchang Customs, which belongs to Wuhan Customs, issued a certificate of origin of China-Nicaragua FTA for Chibi Yayuan Trading Co., Ltd., and the textile fabric certificate exported by this enterprise to Nicaragua can enjoy a tariff reduction of about 18,000 yuan from the importing country.

　　Yu Yawen, head of Yayuan Company, said: "We are mainly engaged in textile fabric trade, and Nicaragua is one of the export destinations of the company. After learning that the tariff rate of textile fabrics exported to Nicaragua in 2024 can be reduced from the original 10% to zero, we handled the certificate of origin under the guidance of the customs and enjoyed this tariff dividend for the first time. "

　　On January 1st this year, the China-Nicaragua Free Trade Agreement came into effect. According to the agreement, the two sides will achieve high-level mutual opening in the fields of trade in goods, trade in services and investment market access. In terms of trade in goods, the two sides will eventually implement zero tariffs on products with their respective tax items exceeding 95%, of which products with immediate zero tariffs account for about 60% of their respective total tax items. This means that when Nicaraguan beef, shrimp, coffee, cocoa, jam and other products enter the China market, the tariff will gradually drop to zero; When Chinese-made cars, motorcycles, batteries, photovoltaic modules, clothing and textiles enter the Nigerian market, tariffs will also be gradually reduced and cancelled.

　　Ivan acosta, Minister of Finance and Public Credit of Nicaragua, said: "The free trade agreement signed with China is a great opportunity for Nicaragua. We believe that entering the huge market of China will enable us to develop rapidly."

　　In recent years, China’s free trade "circle of friends" has been expanding. Shortly after the signing of China-Nepal FTA, China and Serbia signed a FTA, which is the 22nd FTA signed by China, and Serbia became China’s 29th FTA partner.

　　According to the person in charge of the International Department of the Ministry of Commerce, the China-Serbia FTA focuses on making relevant arrangements for trade in goods, and the two sides will cancel tariffs on 90% of the tax items respectively, and more than 60% of the tax items will be cancelled immediately after the agreement comes into effect, and the final import volume ratio of zero-tariff tax items will reach about 95%. Serbia will include cars, photovoltaic modules, lithium batteries, communication equipment, mechanical equipment, refractories, some agricultural and aquatic products that China pays close attention to, and the tariffs on related products will be gradually reduced from the current 5%-20% to zero; China will include generators, motors, tires, beef, wine, nuts, etc., which are of great concern to Serbia, into zero tariffs, and the tariffs on related products will be gradually reduced from the current 5%-20% to zero.

　　The new signing has been accelerated, and there have been new changes in the implementation. This year, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) entered its third year of implementation, and 15 RCEP member countries will further reduce tariffs on products such as light industry, automobiles, electronics and petrochemicals according to the commitments of the agreement, and further increase the products that are included in zero tariffs.

　　"Since the implementation of RCEP for two years, the tariff reduction bonus has been released quickly. We have used the preferential policy of origin (accumulation rule) to export to RCEP countries, saving customers more than 5 million yuan in import tariffs, effectively improving the competitiveness of our products in the international market." Han Jie, Minister of Import and Export Customs of Dongyue Group, said.

　　Fan Ruojun, vice president of Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences, said that in the RCEP agreement, tariff reduction is the key content. According to the agreement, the member countries will set tariffs in pairs, gradually reduce the tariffs on more than 90% products to zero in about 10 years, and implement unified rules of origin in the region, stipulating that the value of goods’ origin can be accumulated in member countries, which will continue to promote trade liberalization and facilitation among member countries.

　　Free Trade Zone Free Trade Port-

　　The list of "zero tariffs" continues to expand.

　　Further promote the implementation of more "zero tariff" policies, and the free trade pilot zone and free trade port are at the forefront.

　　On December 29th, 2023, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce and other five departments issued an announcement to pilot relevant import tax policies and measures in the conditional free trade pilot zone and free trade port, which clearly stated that in the special customs supervision area where Hainan Free Trade Port implements the "first-line" liberalization and "second-line" control of import and export management system, goods temporarily allowed by enterprises to enter the pilot area for repair from abroad from the date of implementation of this announcement will be exempted from customs duties, import value-added tax and consumption tax.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that this measure has changed the "first-line" import duty-free and re-export duty-free of goods currently entering the special customs supervision area of Hainan Free Trade Port into direct duty-free, breaking through the current bonded policy; At the same time, it will be beneficial to the development of related maintenance industries to allow the goods that are no longer shipped out of the country to be sold domestically.

　　Hainan Free Trade Port has made new progress in "zero tariff" in recent years, including temporarily entering the country to repair goods. According to the latest data of Haikou Customs, since the implementation of the "zero tariff" policy for raw materials in Hainan Free Trade Port for three years, the customs has gone through the customs clearance procedures for the import of "zero tariff" raw materials, and the accumulated import value has exceeded 8.3 billion yuan, and the tax reduction has exceeded 1.1 billion yuan, effectively reducing the production and operation costs of enterprises.

　　On December 1, 2020, the "zero tariff" policy for raw materials of Hainan Free Trade Port was implemented. This policy makes it clear that before the whole island is closed, enterprises registered in Hainan Free Trade Port and with independent legal person status are exempted from import duties, import value-added tax and consumption tax when importing raw and auxiliary materials used for production and self-use, production and processing activities in the mode of "two ends out" or service trade in the mode of "two ends out". Enterprises do not need to submit a guarantee, but only need to pay the import duties, import value-added tax and consumption tax of the corresponding raw materials in domestic sales, so as to meet the business needs of Hainan Free Trade Port enterprises and alleviate the financial pressure.

　　Xu Lingling, chief of the Inspection and Evaluation Management Section of Haikou Customs Customs, introduced that the "zero tariff" policy for raw and auxiliary materials implemented positive list management, with the first batch of 169 listed commodities. By the end of 2021, after adjusting and adding 187 new commodities such as fresh durian, vinyl chloride and aero-engine parts, the number of listed commodities reached 356, including agricultural products such as coconut, resource products such as coal, chemicals such as vinyl chloride and parts for aircraft and ship maintenance.

　　After the "zero tariff" policy for raw materials, Hainan Free Trade Port successively implemented the "zero tariff" policy for vehicles and yachts and the "zero tariff" policy for self-use production equipment. On January 5th this year, Hainan released the Measures for the Administration of Zero Tariff Imported Vehicles and Yachts in Hainan Free Trade Port (Trial), and put forward 50 specific measures.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation said that the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation recently issued a notice to adjust the "zero tariff" policy for vehicles and yachts in Hainan Free Trade Port, and added 22 items to the "zero tariff" import list. In the face of new situations and changes, the document issued this time will further enhance the adaptability of the "zero tariff" import vehicle and yacht policy.
