Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone: Opening the door to the world for Ningxia

Opening up to the outside world has allowed Ningxia people to go to the world and let the world see Ningxia.

“Buy and sell the world!” As the long-established momentum is activated, Ningxia is in urgent need of an important “test field” and important “window” for opening up to the outside world.

In September 2012, the State Council approved the establishment of an inland open economic pilot zone in Ningxia and the establishment of the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone.

\”The Comprehensive Bonded Zone is a special customs supervision area with the highest level of openness, the most preferential policies, the most complete functions and the simplest procedures.\” On October 22, the person in charge of the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone Management Committee said \” \”The four most\” are explained. The Comprehensive Bonded Zone is a carrier for the development of export-oriented industries. The \”domestic and customs-free\” treatment allows enterprises in the zone to enjoy more preferential policies than outside the zone, thereby reducing the operating costs of enterprises and greatly improving the international competitiveness of enterprises.

Since the closure of customs in 2013, Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone has completed a cumulative import and export trade volume of 74.585 billion yuan, accounting for 29.9% of the total import and export volume in the region.

How can a comprehensive bonded zone covering an area of ​​only 4 square kilometers contribute nearly 30% of the region’s import and export trade volume? On October 21, the reporter walked into the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone to see how it opened the door to the world for Ningxia.

What should we do to strengthen industry and promote industry?

A company from Ningxia accounts for half of the Korean horseradish market.

“In the first eight months of this year, we have completed a trade volume of more than 10 million US dollars, and dehydrated products such as potatoes, onions, and horseradish are sold to the Southeast Asian market.” Li Hongbing, chairman of Ningxia Yinguan Food Co., Ltd. The reporter watched the bags of white and red granular dehydrated cold vegetables at close range in the turnover warehouse.

Li Hongbing has been deeply involved in the dehydrated vegetable market for many years and took a fancy to the good policies of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone. In May 2023, he decided to establish Ningxia Yinguan Food Co., Ltd. and settle in the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone. On October 30 of that year, the company carried out trial production operations and became a \”typical example\” of attracting investment that year, landing the project that year, starting construction that year, putting it into production that year, and achieving results that year.

At present, Yinguan Food has become the largest exporter of cold vegetables in Ningxia. In the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone, in addition to Yinguan Food, the health-preserving canned tea processing project and the Yiman wolfberry dried fruit processing project are also about to be put into production, and the green food processing industry has taken shape.

In the past two days, 17 containers of more than 440 tons of flaxseed from Ningxia Junhai Oil Co., Ltd. have arrived one after another. After customs inspection, the company can carry out intensive processing of flaxseed. \”Using the bonded processing function of the comprehensive bonded area, we do not need to pay taxes on imported raw materials. After processing, they enter the domestic market, which can help companies save a lot of costs every year.\” Ma Shenglun, the person in charge of Ningxia Junhai Oils and Fats Co., Ltd., said that the company has successfully connected Kazakhstan flaxseed raw material market.

In the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the scale of the flaxseed industry is beginning to show. At present, three representative flaxseed enterprises in the park, Junhai Oil, Yinhan Biotechnology, and Fengqirui, carry out operations such as screening and processing, warehousing and distribution, and logistics distribution. Production and processingThe scale is nearly 120,000 tons, and the import and export trade volume in the third quarter exceeded 132 million yuan.

A group of export-oriented export enterprises are growing from a standout to a \”flying geese formation\” and becoming the \”new engine\” for Ningxia\’s foreign trade development.

How to break through the pilot innovation

The foreign trade industry has a long supply chain, with production, circulation and settlement closely linked; for Ningxia foreign trade companies, they still need to face the problem of raw materials and markets outside reality. However, from January to September this year, the import and export value of bonded logistics in Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone was 902 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.09%, accounting for 49.59% of the total import and export value in the same period; the import and export value of processing trade was 909 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 460.04% , accounting for 49.97% of the total import and export value during the same period.

As a comprehensive bonded zone, how can we break the rules and try things out first, make a good \”bonded +\” article, and let the industry prosper?

\”Enterprises are facing \’two-way squeeze\’ from the demand side and the supply side, and the industrial chain and supply chain have insufficient anti-risk capabilities. As a comprehensive bonded zone, it is necessary to help foreign trade companies break through bottlenecks and achieve \’walking on two legs\’ \” said Lu Wenliang, deputy director of the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Area Management Committee.

How to maximize the role of comprehensive security zones so that enterprises can enjoy policy dividends? Ma Li, deputy general manager of the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone Customs Clearance Service Center, gave reporters two examples.

One is the linseed industry. After the flaxseed enterprises settled in the park, the Comprehensive Bonded Zone actively sought support from the customs and was approved by the General Administration of Customs as the \”golden sign\” of Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone\’s first and pilot \”inbound linseed non-designated processing inspection and quarantine supervision model\” in the country. . Enterprises importing flaxseed do not need designated storage and processing, the enterprise\’s costs are effectively reduced, and production efficiency is greatly improved. This model is currently being promoted as an innovative achievement in customs supervision areas across the country.

One is the \”one ticket for multiple vehicles\” auxiliary system. The company imports large-sized goods and uses multiple heavy-duty vans for transportation. In the past, it was necessary to wait for all the vehicles to arrive before entering or exiting the comprehensive bonded area. The transportation cost was high, and it was possible that raw materials had been transported to the gate of the comprehensive bonded area but could not be delivered to the company. The Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone has created a \”one ticket for multiple vehicles\” auxiliary system. By optimizing the business process, it can realize the distribution of whole declarations and the entry and exit of single vehicles. That is, goods that are bound to multiple trucks under this kind of one-ticket customs declaration form no longer need to be linked to all vehicles. Centralize transportation in and out to achieve rapid customs clearance of bulk goods, effectively reducing customs clearance costs for enterprises.

“As long as the company raises a problem, we will go all out and find ways to solve it.” Ma Li said.

In order to better serve the development of enterprises, Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone established Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone Yinbao International Trade Co., Ltd. and set up a customs clearance service center to give full play to the special customs supervision area functions and location advantages of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone to provide enterprises with Provide 7×24 hours instant customs clearance all-day \”non-closing\” service.

In order to accurately meet the needs of enterprises, since this year, Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone has targeted 512 foreign trade enterprises in the region, bringing policies to deliver services to enterprises and inviting business to the park. Establish special services for large-scale key foreign trade enterprises to explore and innovate \”origin planting + comprehensive\”Guarantee Zone Customs Clearance\” new model. At the same time, we actively strive for the integrated planning and simultaneous implementation of the comprehensive protection zone of the Mengniu-Port Railway Special Line to make up for the shortcomings of railway transportation. Signed a \”District-Port Integration\” cooperation agreement with Yinchuan Hedong International Airport to open up \”Green Freight Channel\”, signed a \”waterless port multimodal transport\” cooperation agreement with Xinbai Group to carry out international and domestic multimodal transport, and comprehensively improve the level of logistics interaction within Ningxia, within the district, and outside the district.

“Good policies and close to the airport. \”Ningxia Ruixin Technology Co., Ltd. was attracted by this. This year, this company\’s semiconductor electronic chip processing and export business volume reached 20 billion units, which are exported to more than 20 countries and supply chains, becoming the electronic information industry layout of Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone \”The first and second phases of the project have all been put into production, and the support from the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone gives us the confidence to leverage the larger international market. \”Li Ji, the general manager of the company, is full of confidence in the future.

From January to September this year, the Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone achieved a total import and export volume of 1.819 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7%. \”We must continue to do good things first. Let\’s try the \’first move\’ first and cultivate the \’experimental field\’ of the Comprehensive Protection Area intensively. \”The person in charge of the Yinchuan Comprehensive Free Trade Zone Management Committee said that they will make every effort to fight the \”100-day battle\” and continue to make \”big contributions\” in this 4 square kilometers of \”square inch land\”.
