As the largest area of Fujian Pilot Free Trade Zone, Xiamen Pilot Free Trade Zone covers a total area of 43.78 square kilometers, covering the core port area of Haicang, the southeast international shipping center, and the core area of cross-strait trade center.


The core port area of Haicang, the southeast international shipping center of Xiamen, is close to the sea in the south, reaches the western sea area of Xiamen in the east, reaches the Xiamen Zhanghai Bridge in the west, and is bounded by Jiaosong Road, Nanhai Road, Nanhai 3rd Road and Xinggang Road in the north, with an area of 24.41 square kilometers.


Its goal is to develop modern port industries such as shipping logistics, port import and export, bonded logistics, value-added processing, service outsourcing, and bulk commodity trading, build an efficient, convenient, green and low-carbon logistics network and a modern shipping service system with high-quality services and complete functions, and become an important container hub port in the Asia Pacific region based on the West Coast, serving both sides of the Taiwan Straits, and facing the world, with the ability to allocate global shipping resources.


Xiamen Free Trade Zone has initiated "one license and one code" nationwide, integrating industrial and commercial business license, organization code certificate and tax registration certificate issued by market supervision, quality supervision, taxation and other departments into a business license loaded with 18 digit unified social credit code, and gradually integrating social insurance registration certificate and statistical registration certificate; It will take at least 10 working days and more than 10 round-trip trips to submit 5 sets of 35 materials to the five departments of industry and commerce, quality supervision, national tax, local tax and public security respectively, and it will be compressed to only 1 set of 12 materials to the industry and commerce or comprehensive window, which can be completed in 1 working day at the earliest.


"From sporadic single point breakthrough to system integration innovation, we have achieved a broader and deeper development." The relevant person in charge of Xiamen Free Trade Commission said that, as the reform moves towards the deep-water zone, what is needed is not only the system integration of system innovation, but also the system integration of working mechanism, resource elements and other aspects.


Xiamen Free Trade Zone has always adhered to the combination of system innovation and function cultivation, and has broken the bottleneck of industrial development by focusing on key platforms. It has comprehensively promoted the development of new forms of business, new models and new economies such as offshore trade, supply chain and digital economy. The scale of offshore trade business is in the forefront of the country; Build a national important one-stop aviation maintenance base; Become one of the top ten supply chain innovation and application demonstration cities in China; It has become the second largest wine import port and the largest bird's nest deep processing base in China; The cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone and the evaluation of the construction effect of the national cultural export base are among the top in the country.



Write a new chapter of high-level opening up


On the morning of June 10, a batch of containers completed the customs export formalities through the cross-border e-commerce express channel, quickly released from the warehouse of the cross-border e-commerce customs supervision center in the Xiangyu Comprehensive Bonded Area to the front of the 10 # berth of Haitian Terminal, and directly loaded to the "Haifeng Futai" ship. They will directly reach Manila South Port in the Philippines within 2 days through the "Silk Road Maritime" e-commerce express line, along the boutique route of "two ports and one voyage".


This is the acceleration of the whole chain - the opening of the cross-border e-commerce maritime express channel. In combination with the opening of the cross-border e-commerce customs supervision center, the Haitian Terminal has opened the direct loading operation process mode, integrating many features such as direct lifting and direct loading, green customs clearance, etc., which will greatly improve the efficiency of cargo circulation; The first "Silk Road Maritime Transport" e-commerce express line operated by Haifeng International, together with Xiamen Port Holding, has created a multinational "two ports and one voyage" boutique route to provide efficient and fast shipping services for e-commerce enterprises.


This is a mode of serving cross-border e-commerce industry initiated by Xiamen Free Trade Zone, which will help cross-border e-commerce enterprises and manufacturing enterprises "go global" with higher efficiency and lower cost.


In the Xiamen Free Trade Zone, China's first "Silk Road shipping" platform, the international integrated logistics service brand of "the Belt and Road" with shipping as the theme, has 86 named routes, reaching 102 ports in 29 countries.


By making full use of Xiamen's advantages of "multi region superposition", Merchant Shipping Logistics has laid out an aviation logistics network covering the whole country and reaching the whole world, and launched passenger to cargo charter services from Xiamen to London, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Liege, Sydney and Melbourne. Since this year, 642 passenger cargo flights have been operated, with a total cargo throughput of 136000 tons. "Strengthen connectivity with RCEP countries and BRICS countries, and we are actively opening passenger cargo routes from Xiamen to Moscow." The relevant person in charge of Shangzhou Aviation Logistics Co., Ltd. said.


China Europe (Xiamen) Train, the first international train from the pilot free trade zone in China, has been running steadily from Xiamen to Hamburg, Almaty and Moscow for seven years. As of July this year, 364 trains and 30670 TEUs have been shipped by the China Russia Line of China Europe (Xiamen) Express, with an accumulated import and export value of 6.89 billion yuan.

As the door of opening becomes wider and wider, Xiamen Free Trade Zone also welcomes new opportunities. Xiangyu Bonded Logistics Park and Haicang Bonded Port have been approved to be upgraded to a comprehensive bonded area. In the 2020 development performance evaluation, Xiangyu Bonded Area ranks 23rd in China, 17th in the eastern region and 1st in Fujian Province.


Seizing the opportunity of building the BRICS innovation base, the Xiamen Free Trade Commission studied and proposed measures for the coordinated development of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone and the BRICS innovation base, explored the pilot projects of BRICS cooperation, planned to bid for the BRICS demonstration e-port theme forum, and actively promoted the construction of the demonstration e-port network. In addition, we deeply engaged in energy and other bulk commodity trade and cross-border e-commerce, imported 2.11 million barrels of crude oil from Russia, with a value of 130 million dollars; Introduce the pulp and paper supply chain business of Russia Shegeza Group and China Construction Development Cooperation; Build a BRICS Commodity Service Center and a BRICS Commodity Museum.
