2026-02-16
By 2025, China's total import and export value will exceed 45 trillion yuan, setting a new historical high and achieving a successful conclusion to foreign trade during the 14th Five Year Plan period. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the cumulative import and export scale of China's foreign trade exceeded 200 trillion yuan, an increase of 40% compared to the 13th Five Year Plan period, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality. The high-quality development of foreign trade in 2025 and the 14th Five Year Plan period cannot be achieved without policy empowerment. More proactive macro policies and specialized policies in the field of foreign trade work together to enhance efficiency. The combination of stock policies and incremental policies has released strong momentum to stabilize foreign trade. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the General Administration of Customs successively issued 10 measures to promote stable and high-quality foreign trade, 16 measures to optimize the business environment at ports and promote convenient customs clearance for enterprises, and other policy measures to stabilize foreign trade. Targeted efforts were made from the aspects of "improving convenience, increasing vitality, and reducing costs" to accurately assist enterprises in stabilizing orders and expanding markets. In terms of improving the convenience of customs clearance for enterprises, the customs continues to promote the reform of the customs clearance mode for imported goods, optimize the customs clearance process, focus on ensuring the import of energy and resource commodities and high-quality agricultural and food products, further facilitate the expansion of exports of automobiles and spare parts and other products, and enable goods that account for a large proportion of the total import and export volume to enter and exit better and faster, shaping new competitive advantages. Expand the pilot program for the qualification assessment of lithium battery packaging product lines for export, and improve the export efficiency of enterprises by 75%; Actively support the export of "new three types" products such as electric vehicles, photovoltaic products, and lithium batteries, with an export scale of nearly 1.3 trillion yuan by 2025, an increase of 3.5 times compared to 2020. In terms of enhancing the innovation vitality of enterprises, we will continue to optimize the business environment at ports and vigorously support the development of "bonded+" new formats and models such as cross-border e-commerce and bonded repair and remanufacturing. Simplify the declaration procedures for cross-border e-commerce export documents, cancel the overseas warehouse registration for cross-border e-commerce, expand the pilot scope of "inspection before shipment" for export LCL goods, significantly reduce duplicate loading and unloading, help enterprises fast in and out, and assist cross-border e-commerce in maintaining a promising import growth trend. According to preliminary statistics from customs, China's cross-border e-commerce imports and exports will reach 2.75 trillion yuan in 2025, an increase of 69.7% compared to 2020. In terms of helping enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, we guide them to make good use of tax incentives and launch the "China Customs Origin Service Platform 2.0". By 2025, export enterprises will apply for preferential certificates of origin worth 2.9 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.7%; Encourage all directly affiliated customs to increase cooperation with financial institutions and local governments, support small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to enjoy the convenience of bank financing and credit, and help solve the problem of difficult and expensive financing for enterprises; Continuously releasing the benefits of proactive disclosure policies, more than 5000 administrative penalties will be reduced, mitigated, or exempted in accordance with the law throughout 2025, and more than 80 million yuan of tax late fees will be waived for enterprises in accordance with the law. In order for enterprises to understand and make good use of policy measures, and better release policy dividends, the General Administration of Customs has constructed an online and offline policy service matrix, deepened the "Customs Director delivers policies to the door" service mechanism, continuously created characteristic policy on-demand service brands such as "Policy Express", and promoted the direct and fast enjoyment of policy measures for enterprises. Each directly affiliated customs will carry out "zero distance between customs and enterprises" and "face-to-face customs and enterprises" assistance activities tailored to local conditions to help enterprises overcome difficulties, ensuring smooth implementation of policies on the last mile. Combined with the application of new artificial intelligence technologies, the General Administration of Customs actively explores the use of big model technology to achieve intelligent matching between "enterprise demand" and "policy supply", promoting the automatic and accurate "point-to-point" push of customs policies to enterprises, and transforming "people looking for policies" into "policies looking for people". The "12360 Intelligent Customer Service Model" customs portal website intelligent Q&A "Haiwa" and a batch of customs "AI intelligent answers" have been launched for trial operation, bringing policy on-demand services into a more accurate and efficient AI era. This year marks the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan. In order to ensure a good start in foreign trade, the General Administration of Customs has further leveraged the integrated effects of stock policies and incremental policies. Recently, it has launched a set of policy measures around promoting trade facilitation and the development of new business models, including replicating and promoting 25 cross-border trade facilitation measures, launching new customs multimodal transport policies, and introducing measures to optimize the implementation of the TIR Convention.
