广西检验检疫局积极应对中国和东盟国家7000余种产品降低关税检验检疫措施

从7月20日开始，按照中国与东盟签署的《中国―东盟全面经济合作框架协议货物贸易协议》的时间表，对原产于中国和东盟的产品相互给予优惠关税待遇。据悉，中国对文莱、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、缅甸、新加坡、泰国等6个国家实施中国―东盟自由贸易区协定税率(含现行对6国实施的“早期收获”商品协定税率)。今年7月20日后，我国对上述各国平均关税税率为8.1%，与最惠国平均税率水平9.9%相比低1.8个百分点。

中国和东盟国家对7000余种产品降低关税，使贸易各方享受到进口关税减让的优惠，广西的进出口货物流量将会明显增加。为了配合降低关税后的快速通关，广西出入境检验检疫局除原已采取的电子报检、电子转单、电子签证等快速通关措施外，下半年将进行电子监管和出口货物快速核放系统的试点工作。

为防范出入境商品、货物携带疫病疫情传入传出，做到安全、卫生和环保，广西出入境检验检疫局将依照国家法律法规，进行有效的检验监管，同时为使相关企业和部门做好进出口业务，广西出入境检验检疫局将按照有关程序，做好原产地证书及我国实行进口许可制度有关工作的实施。

一是加大对中国―东盟自由贸易区优惠原产地证书以及有关进出口检验检疫业务的宣传工作。为使我国出口到东盟有关国家的“早期收获”方案项下的产品享受东盟给予的关税优惠待遇，自2004年1月1日起，广西检验检疫局开始签发中国―东盟自由贸易区优惠原产地证书。今年7月20日，中国和东盟国家对7000余种产品降低关税，广西检验检疫局将通过各种渠道，向进出口企业宣传中国―东盟自由贸易区优惠原产地证书的作用、动植物检疫审批的规定、预包装食品及化妆品标签审核的规定、“3C”产品强制性安全认证制度以及办理程序等，让企业熟悉掌握进口关税减让的优惠政策以及检验检疫措施。

二是及时通知有关外贸部门及进出口企业做好相关工作。要求申请《中国―东盟自由贸易区优惠原产地证书》的单位，预先在当地检验检疫机构办理注册登记手续。需申请签证时，要准备好应提交的《原产地证明书申请书》、商业发票副本、提单以及必要的其他证件。

三是改革监管模式，提高工作效率。为了实现快速通关，广西出入境检验检疫局采用简便的申请单位注册备案方式，只要申请单位提供必要的证明文件，注册工作当场就可以完成。同时，实行24小时值班制度，保证出口单位送来的产地证随到随签，并及时在规定时限内办理动植物检疫初审、预包装食品及化妆品标签审核以及“3C”强制性产品安全认证的相关工作。
