CNR, Beijing, December 18 News Domestic trade and foreign trade connect production and consumption, connect domestic and foreign markets, and accelerate the integration of domestic and foreign trade are the internal requirements for building a new development pattern. Recently, the General Office of the People's Republic of China issued a notice on "Several Measures to Accelerate the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade". On the 18th, the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the policy of accelerating the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade. At the meeting, the General Administration of Customs, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the State Administration of Financial Supervision and the Ministry of Commerce introduced in detail how to implement the integration of domestic and foreign trade and support the development of domestic and foreign trade enterprises.
General Administration of Customs: Do a good job in implementing the three aspects of work to promote the docking of domestic and foreign trade market channels.
Lin Shaobin, head of the Comprehensive Business Department of the General Administration of Customs, introduced at the meeting that in recent years, the customs has given full play to the advantages of the domestic and international dual circulation hub, focusing on the convergence of domestic and foreign trade standards, inspection and certification, and supervision, etc., and has made efforts to promote the same line, same standard and same quality of domestic and foreign trade products, optimize the integrated development environment of domestic and foreign trade, and help China become the world's second largest consumer market and the largest country in goods. In the first 10 months of this year, China's total retail sales of consumer goods were 3854 trillion yuan, the total value of China's imports and exports in the first 11 months was 3796 trillion yuan.
Lin Shaobin said that in line with the 18 measures to accelerate the integration of domestic and foreign trade, the customs will focus on the implementation of the following three aspects, and contribute to the integration of domestic and foreign trade.
The first is to take multiple measures at the same time to promote the convergence and integration of rules and systems for the integration of domestic and foreign trade. Different countries and regions have differences in standards, inspection and quarantine, regulatory requirements, etc., which are the difficulties and blockages faced by the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade. The Customs will focus on market concerns and enterprise needs, continue to do a good job in the comparison, research and evaluation of foreign technical regulations and standards, especially those in developed countries, and timely publicize and implement relevant achievements to export enterprises. At the same time, we will deepen international cooperation in inspection and quarantine, certification and accreditation, actively carry out international online verification of inspection and quarantine electronic certificates with more countries, expand the scope of acceptance of third-party inspection and testing results, and vigorously promote the convergence and integration of domestic and foreign trade rules and systems.
The second is to strengthen coordination and promote the docking of domestic and foreign trade market channels. Whether it is a domestic trade enterprise "going out" or a foreign trade enterprise "turning to domestic sales", a good channel and platform are needed. It is difficult to convert the domestic and foreign trade markets of enterprises, to a large extent, because of the lack of a good docking and communication channel platform. The customs will work hard to promote the docking of domestic and foreign trade market channels, continue to promote the high-quality development of processing and the implementation of comprehensive reform measures for cross-border e-commerce customs supervision, support the development of new business formats such as market procurement and bonded maintenance, and do a good job in the customs clearance guarantee of exhibition platforms such as the China International Import Expo and the China Import and Export Fair, so as to help enterprises build their brands, broaden channels, and help enterprises switch smoothly between the international and domestic markets.
The third is to continue to make efforts to optimize the development environment for the integration of domestic and foreign trade. Whether the integration of domestic and foreign trade develops well or not, the development environment is very important. It is also an important part of the 18 measures to carry out special actions to crack down on infringement and counterfeiting, increase the protection of trademark rights and patent rights of foreign trade enterprises, and create a credit environment conducive to the smooth flow of domestic and international markets. In this regard, the Customs will also step up its efforts to continue to strengthen the customs protection of intellectual property rights, and at the same time strictly prevent the impact of fake and shoddy goods on the domestic and foreign trade markets. Strengthen the credit management of import and export enterprises, support the acceleration of the development of rail-water combined transport in coastal and inland ports, support eligible enterprises to carry out domestic and foreign trade container transportation on the same ship, improve logistics convenience, and create a good development environment for the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade.
State Administration for Market Regulation: Break down local protection and industry barriers that hinder the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade.
Yao Lei, head of the Certification and Supervision Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation, said that the "Several Measures to Accelerate the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade" clearly stated that it is necessary to "promote the convergence of domestic and foreign trade standards" and "promote the convergence of domestic and foreign trade inspection and certification". Technical measures with standards, conformity assessment as the main content, has become one of the most important ways to affect the international market, domestic and foreign trade products applicable to domestic and international standards are different, resulting in certification procedures, scope of application, evaluation methods are necessarily different, enterprises in the docking standards, certification of manpower, time and capital costs will weaken the power of domestic sales to a certain extent. In order to solve this kind of problem, the State Administration for Market Regulation has done the following work:
The first is to vigorously promote the consistency of domestic and international standards and strengthen the international mutual recognition of conformity assessment. Since the "14th Five-Year Plan", China has transformed 2,509 advanced and applicable international standards in the fields of machinery, chemical industry, information technology, consumer goods and other fields, and the key technical indicators in the fields of household appliances, textiles and garments have reached 95% consistency with international standards. The State Administration for Market Regulation has joined 21 international and regional organizations for conformity assessment, signed 15 multilateral mutual recognition agreements and 128 bilateral cooperation and mutual recognition arrangements, and the scope of international mutual recognition covers more than 95% of the total global economy. At the beginning of this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a document clarifying that the domestic compulsory product certification (CCC certification) adopts the evaluation results of the conformity assessment system of the International Electrotechnical Commission, which effectively avoids the repeated testing and certification of enterprises from export to domestic sales.
The second is to continue to promote the transfer of exports to domestic sales, reduce costs and improve efficiency. By streamlining and optimizing the CCC certification process and opening up a green channel for export to domestic CCC certification, the average time for CCC certification has been reduced from 30 working days to a minimum of 7 working days. Since January 1, 2020, 19 products can enter the market after completing the CCC self-declaration in accordance with the prescribed procedures, benefiting 40,000 enterprises, and there are 370,000 valid self-declarations.
The third is to focus on promoting regional integration. Guide the establishment of the China-ASEAN New Energy Vehicle Testing and Certification Alliance to serve new energy vehicles more conveniently to go out and bring in. To help the integrated and high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with "Bay Area Certification", the first batch of 15 "Bay Area Certification" product catalogs and implementation rules will be released soon. Guide Fujian to explore a new path for cross-strait integrated development in the field of conformity assessment, and support the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone to expand the pilot project for the acceptance of certification results from Taiwan.
Fourth, we are committed to providing enterprises with "one-stop" conformity assessment information services. In order to solve the problems of large quantity, fast update and difficult access to international conformity assessment information generally reflected by the majority of import and export enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, the "conformity assessment service facilitation information platform" has been built, and the "recognition e-pass" micro-classroom has been launched to update and release the latest market access policy information at home and abroad in real time. At present, more than 970 pieces of information and 87 micro-classrooms have been published, covering more than 300 kinds of products in more than 40 countries and regions, and the number of ** has exceeded 10 million times.
Yao Lei introduced that in the next step, the State Administration for Market Regulation will continue to promote the convergence of domestic and international standards, accelerate the promotion of international cooperation and mutual recognition in the field of conformity assessment, break down the local protection and industry barriers that hinder the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, strengthen the publicity of the green fast track policy of CCC certification, ensure the implementation of the policy of benefiting enterprises, and create a good environment for enterprises to enter the two markets and make good use of the two resources.
State Administration of Financial Supervision: Contribute financial strength to accelerate the construction of a strong country and build a new development pattern.
Li Mingxiao, Director of the Policy Research Department of the State Administration of Financial Regulation, said that promoting the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade is an inherent requirement and important measure to implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development. **The financial work conference emphasized that it is necessary to adhere to the fundamental purpose of financial services for the real economy, and finance should better support the expansion of domestic demand, promote the stabilization of foreign trade and foreign investment. The first-class economic work conference just held has also re-emphasized and redeployed the expansion of domestic demand and the stabilization of foreign trade.
Li Mingxiao pointed out that recently, the State Council issued a number of measures to accelerate the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, from the "better play the role of credit insurance" and "increase financial support" two aspects of specific requirements, the State Administration of Financial Supervision will take the initiative to unify the ideological understanding and action to the best decision-making and deployment, and actively promote the banking and insurance institutions to strengthen the support for domestic and foreign trade enterprises to open up domestic and foreign markets, and contribute financial strength to accelerate the construction of a strong country and build a new development pattern.
First, we will make every effort to implement the policy. In the early stage, in order to support the development of domestic and foreign countries, the State Administration of Financial Supervision has successively issued the "Guiding Opinions on Improving Foreign Trade Financial Services", "Notice on Carrying out Pilot Programs of Railway Transport Document Financial Services to Better Support Cross-border Development", and "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Movable Property and Rights Financing Business", and has introduced a series of pragmatic and effective support measures around key areas of domestic and foreign trade such as ensuring the smooth flow of material logistics, the safe operation of the industrial chain, and the stable share of foreign trade enterprises to expand the market. The State Administration of Financial Supervision will combine the requirements of the "Several Measures to Accelerate the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade" to supervise banking and insurance institutions to conscientiously do a good job in financial services and ensure that the requirements are solidly implemented.
The second is to promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of comprehensive services. Encourage banking institutions to optimize the integration of single products on the basis of normalized financial services such as bill factoring, bill discounting, and order financing, and launch comprehensive services integrating payment and settlement, financing and credit financing, and exchange rate hedging, and extend service tentacles through online channels to better adapt to the characteristics of flexible capital demand and fast turnover of enterprises.
The third is to strengthen the service of key customer groups. Support banking institutions to use modern information technology such as artificial intelligence and big data for key groups such as small and micro enterprises, rely on enterprise production and operation information to reasonably assess enterprise qualifications and extend credit, provide support for market entities with orders, markets, and prospects but weak collateral capacity, and better implement the requirements of the first financial work conference on "inclusive finance" and "digital finance".
Fourth, two-way cut-in and smooth internal and external circulation. While doing a good job in enterprise-side services, banking institutions are encouraged to continuously optimize personal services, guide the society to correctly view and rationally use consumer credit products, develop diversified consumption scenarios, better meet the people's yearning for a better life, help expand domestic demand, and realize the linkage between supply and demand.
Fifth, we should earnestly improve our insurance protection capabilities. Support insurance companies to carry out export credit insurance and domestic credit insurance business in accordance with laws and regulations, continue to optimize the conditions for underwriting claims, and expand the coverage of credit insurance. Promote insurance institutions to extend the service chain, through cargo transportation insurance, product quality insurance, etc., to better cover the potential risks in the world, and help enterprises to fully expand the domestic and foreign markets.
Ministry of Commerce: Promote the implementation of various measures and strive to achieve substantive breakthroughs as soon as possible.
In recent years, the Ministry of Commerce has continued to strengthen the integration of domestic and foreign trade. Sheng Qiuping, Vice Minister of Commerce, introduced that the Ministry of Commerce, together with various regions and relevant departments, thoroughly implemented the decision-making and deployment on promoting the integration of domestic and foreign trade, and mainly carried out five aspects of work:
First, the work system has been continuously improved. At the departmental level, mechanisms are established in a coordinated manner.

At the local level, the central and local governments have jointly carried out pilot projects. Together with 13 departments, we will jointly carry out the pilot work of domestic and foreign trade integration, and organize 9 pilot areas such as Beijing to actively innovate and take the lead in improving the integrated regulation and control system of domestic and foreign trade and promoting the convergence of domestic and foreign trade systems.
The second is to speed up the convergence of domestic and foreign trade rules and standards. Promote the revision of the "Foreign Trade Law", cancel the filing and registration of foreign business operators, give all business entities the right to operate foreign trade, and facilitate the integrated operation of domestic and foreign trade enterprises. Revise the "Measures for the Management of Standardization in the Commercial Field", improve the standard management system for domestic and foreign trade, carry out special pilot projects for standardized commercial and trade circulation in the national service industry, and explore and form a number of typical cases of strengthening standardized management and improving the level of integrated development of domestic and foreign trade.
The third is the in-depth expansion of the domestic and international markets. Give full play to the role of exhibition platforms with international influence such as the China International Import Expo, the Canton Fair, the Trade in Services Fair, the Consumer Expo, the CIFIT, and the Digital Trade Fair, enhance domestic and foreign market exchanges, carry out "consumption promotion year" activities such as the National Consumption Promotion Month and the International Consumption Season, encourage all localities to hold various domestic and foreign trade integration and docking activities, and support enterprises to explore domestic and international markets.
Fourth, the integrated operation ability of enterprises has been steadily improved. Carry out the leading action of domestic and foreign trade integration, and focus on cultivating a number of internationally competitive and integrated domestic and foreign trade enterprises. Guide and support enterprises to accelerate digital development and realize the integrated operation of online and offline, domestic and foreign trade.
Fifth, the policy of integration of domestic and foreign trade has been continuously improved. The integration of domestic and foreign trade will be included in the scope of special financial support for foreign economic and trade development. Together with the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, we will further play the role of credit insurance, strengthen the coordinated support of export credit insurance and domestic ** insurance for enterprises operating in both domestic and international markets, and provide enterprises with integrated support services of "domestic trade + foreign trade" and "policy + limit".
