Guangdong is an important production base for my country’s textile and clothing industry, with annual clothing output accounting for about one-third of the country’s total. Since the “Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement” (RCEP) officially came into effect at the beginning of this year, my country’s textile and apparel products exported to RCEP member countries have enjoyed tariff preferences. Among them, textile and footwear products are important tax reduction products from Japan to China under RCEP. However, some textile and apparel companies have not mastered the regional cumulative rules of origin during the export process and have not been able to enjoy policy dividends such as tariff preferences.
In response to the demands and difficulties of enterprises in the jurisdiction, Guangzhou Customs, based on the export characteristics of textile and garment enterprises in the jurisdiction, arranged origin business experts to provide “one-on-one” policy guidance to enterprises that do not enjoy tariff preferences, focusing on rules of origin, tariff concessions, and ” The “Approved Exporter” system helps companies establish a comparison list of tax reductions for RCEP products in different countries, helping them enjoy policy dividends.
