VI. How to Maximize the Use of Tariff Preferential Policies?

Pay close attention to three major policy tools:

Customs clearance time: From inspection application to release ≤5 working days

• Accuracy rate of documents: ≥99% (especially the content of the COO certificate)
• Response to abnormal handling: Provide a solution within 2 hours
• Abnormality handling response: Provide solutions within 2 hours
• Comprehensive Cost Control: Save over 15% compared to self - export
