"With the support of the customs, our gel imaging analysis system, cell analyzer and other scientific research equipment were imported during the construction period, and the progress was very smooth. Huang Tianwen, a researcher at the major scientific and technological infrastructure of brain analysis and brain simulation at the Shenzhen Advanced Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. The scientific research "institutes" can be renewed one after another, thanks to the innovation of the customs supervision model. It is understood that Xili Customs, based on the responsibilities of the local customs, has implemented the empowerment plan in depth, and provided follow-up services for the whole process from project approval to commissioning, so that innovation is "worry-free", and has ensured the safe import and efficient use of 392 batches of scientific research materials worth about 1 billion yuan.
As a pilot start-up area for a comprehensive national science center in the Greater Bay Area, Guangming Science City is the area with the most concentrated layout of innovation carriers and the largest investment in comprehensive innovation in the Greater Bay Area. Located in the major scientific and technological infrastructure of brain analysis and brain simulation in Guangming District, Shenzhen, researchers are debugging the first high-performance whole-body PET-CT equipment for large animals in China, which will be used for brain disease drug research and other projects. This large-scale facility, which was officially opened not long ago, is the world's first cross-species, full-scale brain science innovation research platform.
The Synthetic Biology Research Facility, which is connected to only one corridor and is connected to the brain facility, is conducting immune cell research through the efficient cooperation of 40 functional islands and various automated equipment.
Scientific research and innovation must make great strides, and facilities and equipment must be in place quickly. Xili Customs, a subsidiary of Shenzhen Customs, has opened a "green channel" for scientific research institutions in the jurisdiction to import equipment, and special personnel and posts have been used to meet the needs, and "one hospital, one policy" has guided the institutes to solve the problem of equipment import declaration. In view of the problem that scientific research institutions are subordinate to multiple legal entities, we should innovate the centralized declaration mechanism and handle duty-free import matters in a unified manner, so as to avoid multiple management, scattered services, and overlapping supervision. In view of the problem that some environmentally sensitive equipment is not suitable for inspection at the port, we will work with the local science and technology innovation department to "double escort" to establish a "white list" of scientific research institutions, and the equipment will be directly connected from the port to the local customs to carry out non-intrusive inspection in a special venue, and cooperate with the customs of other regions to complete the coordinated supervision of cross-customs areas.
Use it well if you go in fast. In the on-site investigation, Xili Customs learned from the Shenzhen Campus of Sun Yat-sen University that the first-class measuring instrument and other equipment imported by the school need to frequently change the use of the location across the customs area to carry out scientific research activities. With the in-depth advancement of innovation, the use scenarios of scientific research equipment are becoming increasingly complex, and the substantial increase in business handling volume under the traditional supervision mode of tax-exempt equipment has become a "new worry".
In this regard, Xili Customs further promoted the construction of smart customs, docked with the asset management system of scientific research institutions, explored and created a convenient supervision model of "hierarchical management, convenient sharing, and classified supervision", and ensured the pilot work of the first batch of scientific research institutions with urgent needs, and further released 5The use efficiency of 800 million yuan of scientific research equipment empowers scientific research with customs services and makes innovation "worry-free".
