In recent years, China is making efforts on its government efficiency and is speeding up trade policy reforms.
In the first half year of 2018, China has intensively released some significant trade policies which affect every importer and exporter, including adjustment of import tariff rate, the procedure of export VAT refund and import facilitation measures etc.
To help EU companies to understand the changing business environment in China and proactively adjust their business practice and strategy accordingly, the EU SME Centre picked up three must-know changes for those EU companies that are doing or intend to do business with China.
In this webinar, we are going to cover the following changes:
The restructure of key central government authorities will bring wide-ranging implications for EU exporters, especially the merging of the inspection and quarantine authority (CIQ) into China Customs in April 2018.
On 1st May 2018, the new the classification customs enterprise credit classification and management system was formally launched and is completely different from the credit system China customs had used in the past years. Classification and benefits of different enterprise creditability will be discussed in this webinar.
China’s new Temporary Import Administrative Measures came into force in this February. It is worthwhile to understand the criteria that are applicable to temporary import and the relevant customs management requirements.
