Early on the morning of August 7, the air at Guizhou Shengge Trading Co., Ltd., located within the Zunyi Comprehensive Bonded Area (Zunyi CBZ), was filled with the fragrance of Tea, and the scene was bustling with activity. Workers were busy loading bags of Green Tea for export onto trucks. This batch, weighing 24,000 kilograms and valued at nearly $250,000, will be cleared through customs by Guizhou Qianyida Logistics Co., Ltd. before being transported to Kashgar and then exported to Uzbekistan. “Our teas are exported to multiple countries overseas, and smooth export procedures and logistics transport are critical in promoting Zunyi's high-quality teas to the world. We are very grateful for the assistance from the Zunyi CBZ's foreign trade services, which significantly reduces our workload for exporting goods,” said Bai Xinling, Chairman of Guizhou Shengge Trading Co., Ltd.
In recent years, as an important platform for Zunyi City's opening up to the outside world, the Zunyi CBZ has actively played the role of a bridgehead for open economy. Through a series of innovative measures and high-quality services, it has helped companies expand their export businesses, achieving significant results.
Foreign trade comprehensive services act as a fulcrum for small and medium-sized enterprises' exports. The Zunyi CBZ relies on its subsidiary state-owned enterprise, Guizhou Qianyida Logistics Co., Ltd., providing full-process services to help more foreign trade companies venture abroad.
To create high-quality foreign trade comprehensive services, the Zunyi CBZ continuously optimizes its business environment. It actively coordinates with customs, industry and information technology, environmental protection, and other departments to establish relevant standards, streamline regulatory processes, and formulate and issue related management methods, forming a closed-loop industrial management system. This efficient and transparent regulatory model greatly boosts the confidence of companies and attracts many to set up operations there.
To improve export efficiency, the Zunyi CBZ constantly innovates its service models. On one hand, the CBZ builds and improves bonded warehousing and in-zone tax refund policies, offering companies more convenient and efficient export services. On the other hand, the CBZ actively introduces logistics, supply chain finance, guarantee companies, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and other specialized institutions or talents, jointly building a comprehensive service platform for local foreign trade companies. This platform provides a suite of integrated services including foreign trade channels, customs clearance, inspection, logistics, foreign exchange, tax rebates, financing, and credit insurance. These innovative measures not only reduce export costs but also increase export efficiency, providing strong support for companies looking to expand their export businesses.
With the support of the Zunyi CBZ, companies within the zone have achieved significant results in expanding their export businesses. According to statistics, since its closure and operation began, the Zunyi CBZ has cumulatively realized import and export volumes exceeding 20 billion RMB, with the proportion of exports increasing year by year.
