A few days ago, the State Council issued a number of measures to promote institutional opening in pilot free trade zones and free trade ports with high international standards, taking the lead in Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjin, Fujian, Beijing, etc. The pilot trade port will be connected to relevant international high-standard economic and trade rules, and the institutional opening will be steadily expanded.

Promoting the innovation and development of trade in goods
Carry out pilot projects for the import of remanufactured products in key industries
Relevant imported products do not apply to my country's relevant measures prohibiting or restricting the import of old products, but they should meet all applicable technical requirements of the country for equivalent new products (including but not limited to quality characteristics, safety and environmental protection performance, etc.) and relevant regulations on remanufactured products, and Mark the words "remanufactured product" in a prominent position.
Pilot regions shall put forward a pilot plan according to their own actual conditions, clarify the list of relevant imported products and applicable specific standards, requirements, conformity assessment procedures and regulatory measures; relevant departments shall jointly study and make a decision within 6 months after receiving the pilot plan.
Relevant departments and localities strengthen supervision, management and inspection of remanufactured products, and strictly prevent foreign garbage and old products from being imported in the name of remanufactured products.
Temporary entry of specific goods temporarily exempts customs duties, import value-added tax and consumption tax
For the following goods that temporarily enter the pilot area from abroad, after the taxpayer provides a guarantee to the customs at the time of entry, the customs duty, import value-added tax and consumption tax may be temporarily exempted:
Professional equipment (including software, instruments, equipment and supplies used for news reporting or filming or filming of movies and TV programs, etc.) necessary for temporary entry personnel to carry out business, trade or professional activities in accordance with the laws of our country;
Goods for exhibition or demonstration;
Commercial samples, commercial films and sound recordings;
Necessary sporting goods for sports competitions, performances or training, etc.
The above-mentioned goods shall be re-exported within 6 months from the date of entry, and shall not be used for commercial purposes such as sale or lease during the temporary entry period. If it is necessary to extend the time limit for re-exportation, the extension formalities shall be handled in accordance with regulations.

Customs in pilot regions shall not refuse to grant preferential tariff treatment to goods just because of minor errors in the certificate of origin, such as typographical errors, typos, omissions of non-critical information, or minor differences between documents.
