In international trade, new commodities emerge in an endless stream, functional uses are becoming increasingly diversified and complex, and how to accurately carry out the classification of customs commodities has become a realistic problem faced by the majority of import and export enterprises. Since the beginning of this year, Zhengzhou Customs has targeted the promotion of the "pre-ruling" business, and solved the problem of enterprise customs clearance classification through pre-identification of classification codes before declaration. In the first 10 months, the customs department accepted a total of 40 applications for enterprise pre-ruling business, and issued 24 pre-rulings for classification, an increase of 2.3 times and 3.8 times respectively over last year, helping enterprises to significantly improve the efficiency of customs clearance.

The customs pre-ruling system is an important facilitation measure implemented by the customs in order to promote trade security and convenience, optimize the business environment, and enhance the predictability of import and export trade activities of enterprises. Enterprises can submit an application for pre-ruling to the customs through the electronic port or the customs "Internet +" platform, and the customs will issue a pre-ruling decision letter to the goods that meet the requirements, which can be applied to the customs throughout the country, and the enterprise can enjoy the customs professional services without leaving home.

"Jewelry is divided into precious metal jewelry, gem products, imitation jewelry and other categories in the customs classification, and the export rebate rate applicable to different tax codes is completely different, which will directly affect the design and production of our products," said Song Aimin, the head of the company. After Zhengzhou Customs learned of this situation, it took the initiative to provide enterprises with pre-ruling policy publicity and declaration guidance.
