Recently, under the supervision of Xiamen Post Office Customs, a batch of new valve maintenance materials and parts for Airbus A320NEO aircraft engines were successfully cleared and shipped to Xiamen Honeywell Swire Aerospace According to reports, this is the first time that China has imported the new valve maintenance materials and parts.
There are many types of aircraft engine valves, and this new type of valve can directly affect the flight status of the aircraft, and it is one of the most important valves. Xiamen Honeywell Swire Aerospace *** Customs Department Manager Liu said.
As the only domestic repairer of the new type of valve for the A320NEO aircraft engine, Honeywell has successfully upgraded the higher safety performance of the valve, thus enhancing its international competitiveness in this field. At the beginning of 2024, the company will receive maintenance orders from many domestic and foreign airlines, and the order amount is expected to reach 20 million yuan.
However, tens of millions of orders have also brought happy "troubles" to the enterprise - in addition to the new valve, this batch of orders also involves more than 100 kinds of new materials and parts such as solenoid valves, bearings, separators, etc., because it is the first time to import, enterprises are facing challenges in carrying out overseas procurement and import declarations.
After understanding the actual difficulties of the enterprise, Xiamen Post Office Customs took the initiative to provide services, went deep into the workshop of the enterprise to study the material and structure of the new materials and parts samples for the first time, worked overtime to consult relevant information, and simultaneously publicized and implemented the tax reduction and exemption policy of making good use of aviation materials, so as to help the enterprise improve all the declaration materials of the import link of the large order in just one week. With the help of post office customs, Honeywell's raw material procurement and import customs clearance cycle has been shortened by half a month, which has effectively guaranteed the preparation and maintenance delivery of this New Year's order.
