On January 1 this year, the world-renowned RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) officially entered into force. More than 90% of the trade in goods will eventually achieve zero tariffs, which will undoubtedly bring great convenience to producers and consumers in the region, but there are also problems that enterprises cannot eat thoroughly and inaccurately, do not use and insufficient use of policies.
At this event, Lv Guanghui, director of the Asia-Pacific Division of Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and Sun Yuchun, deputy director of the Foreign Trade Department, answered a number of questions raised by enterprises participating online through the official Douyin of Fengkou Finance.

"This policy interpretation training will be very timely, we are a foreign trade enterprise that imports chemical products and film and exports packaging products, and our customers are mainly RCEP member countries." RCEP has just come into effect, and we do have a lot of policy that we don't understand, and this policy training has been very helpful to us. Zhengxin Yueying business manager said.
