The relevant person in charge of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade recently stated that since the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement" (RCEP) came into effect, policy dividends have been continuously released, and RCEP has become the biggest highlight of world economic growth.
According to reports, with the official entry into force of RCEP for Indonesia in January this year, 14 of the 15 signatories of RCEP have taken effect. RCEP tariff concessions have brought "real money" benefits to Chinese foreign trade enterprises. The reduction of tariffs on goods under the agreement will enable more than 90% of goods trade in the region to gradually realize zero tariffs. The relevant arrangements have gradually reduced the tax burden of exporting enterprises and lowered the cost of importing enterprises, thereby reducing the cost of commodity procurement and manufacturing production costs. The import and export business volume of various products has increased significantly, and the policy dividend effect is obvious.
At present, my country has signed 19 free trade agreements and 1 preferential trade arrangement, covering 35% of my country's trade in goods, one-third of service trade and about 80% of two-way investment. Therefore, the market access arrangements and rules and regulations contained in free trade agreements have gradually become the business principles that Chinese enterprises must master and follow to carry out international operations.
In order to help enterprises make good use of the preferential policies of the free trade agreement, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade recently released the "Free Trade Agreement Business Application Guide", which covers all the free trade agreements that China has signed and entered into force so far. It is the most comprehensive and comprehensive free trade agreement for China. The most detailed interpretation.
Dang Yingjie said that Nanchang Customs will expand the application of preferential policies for visas of origin such as RCEP, and promote the freer flow of factors between Jiangxi and RCEP member countries and deeper market integration.
