Optimize services
Guangdong enterprises go to sea "small steps and fast running"
Walking into the "plumbing and bathroom" product display area of the central platform of the Canton Fair, exquisite faucets, showers, and intelligent bathroom products attract overseas buyers to negotiate and dock. In addition, the electric hybrid drones, electric motorcycles, laser machine tools, smart coffee machines, smart pet dryers, etc., which were unveiled in the first issue, have become the spokesperson of "good things" in the hometown of overseas Chinese.

The relevant person in charge of the Jiangmen Municipal Bureau of Commerce introduced.
Around the big stage of the Canton Fair, trade docking activities created by Guangdong Province and various cities have blossomed everywhere. "We have launched a series of measures to help Guangdong enterprises make good use of the Canton Fair, the 'No. 1 exhibition in China', so that high-quality enterprises can get orders at their doorsteps. Guangdong Province and various cities have actively planned hundreds of trade matchmaking activities, so that the popularity of the Canton Fair has turned into 'wealth' to stay in Guangdong. Liu Chunmei, deputy director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Provincial Department of Commerce, told Southern + reporters.
Through a series of mobilization meetings, preparatory meetings and special training meetings, various cities have helped enterprises make better use of the Canton Fair platform and seize orders in the current foreign trade environment. Dongguan City and Huizhou City have conducted "one-to-one" exhibition guidance for enterprises to participate in exhibitions, publicize the support policies for overseas exhibitions, and help enterprises better "go global" to open up markets.
During the Canton Fair, new products such as TCL Xiaolanyi P7 fresh air conditioner and GAC Ai'an Haobo SSR super coupe are full of eye-catching, excellent intelligent manufacturing quality, Guangdong brand is well-known all over the world, and Guangdong enterprises have more confidence to "break through" the world.
"During this Canton Fair, we brought hundreds of innovative products, comprehensively demonstrating the intelligent ecology and leading technical strength of the whole category. In the implementation of the globalization strategy, we take root in the mainstream markets of Europe and the United States, enhance the competitiveness of international brands, and also attach great importance to the development of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and other markets. Deng Yinghao, director of public affairs of TCL Technology Group, said.
"In July last year, we established a subsidiary in Thailand, and in September, the GAC Aion Y series was launched in Thailand, and as of the end of last year, 3,500 units have been sold, quickly occupying the top position in the local electric vehicle market. In the first three months of this year, the number of orders in Southeast Asia continued to increase, and more than 2,700 units have been sold. In the field of mobility, we have made further progress in airport rental in Thailand, and we will see more and more GAC Aion's new energy vehicles in Southeast Asia. The relevant government departments of Guangdong Province provide efficient services and facilitate the export process of new energy vehicles, which provides good conditions for us to rapidly expand overseas markets. At the same time, it has provided a lot of guidance in terms of cross-border capital, the establishment of overseas subsidiaries, and the protection of overseas intellectual property rights, so that we can 'go global' more steadily. Zheng Chunqi, deputy general manager of GAC Aion New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., shared.
Guangdong seized the "new three" outlet, focusing on solving the problems of orders, transportation, customs clearance and other problems reflected by enterprises, and introduced special policies such as 5 automobile exports to promote the export of new energy vehicles, new energy storage products and other products. In view of the weak export capacity of automobile brands, enterprises can receive up to 5 million yuan of support for overseas market promotion.
In addition, Guangdong gives full play to its home advantage, amplifies the spillover effect of the Canton Fair, supports the planning of trade docking, investment promotion conferences, consumption promotion and other activities, invites overseas buyers to the city and enterprise docking, displays Guangdong's economic, industrial, transportation, ecological and platform advantages in an all-round and multi-channel manner, and promotes the transaction of orders in and out of the venue, investment promotion and landing consumption.
Playing a policy "combination punch"
Stimulate new vitality of foreign trade
8 to stabilize the market and promote growth, 6 new energy storage products, 9 intermediate goods trade, 8 UAE market expansion, 14 domestic and foreign trade integration, and 12 cross-border e-commerce...... Since the beginning of this year, focusing on the problems that foreign trade enterprises are concerned about such as insufficient orders and rising costs, Guangdong Province has intensively introduced a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade, continue to release policy dividends, and effectively stimulate market vitality.
Since last year, the international foreign trade situation has been sluggish, but with the implementation of a series of policies, Guangdong Province's foreign trade has achieved a good start this year, with imports and exports of 2.04 trillion yuan in the first quarter, an increase of 12%, and a contribution rate of 45% to the growth of national foreign trade.
Liu Chunmei introduced at the foreign trade policy briefing that the Provincial Department of Commerce will continue to hold the "Guangdong Trade Global" overseas exhibition, on the basis of organizing 243 events last year and arranging nearly 300 million yuan to support 31,000 enterprises to go to sea to grab orders, and organize another 300 this year to optimize and upgrade relevant support policies, and join hands with China Southern Airlines and other airlines to launch special discounts for corporate air tickets.
Guangdong Province has also optimized the import discount support policy, arranged hundreds of millions of yuan in discount funds, and encouraged enterprises to import advanced technology and products. "According to our statistics, the policy benefited more than 500 companies last year. A technology company in Meizhou received nearly 3 million yuan in support to introduce a set of advanced equipment from Japan, which increased production efficiency by about 11%. Liu Chunmei said.
In terms of cultivating new forms of foreign trade and new momentum, Guangdong has issued 12 cross-border e-commerce measures, and together with customs, taxation and other departments, it adheres to the principles of encouraging innovation, inclusiveness and prudence, and supports the sustainable and stable development of cross-border e-commerce parks and backbone enterprises.
At the same time, in the face of the rapidly changing overseas market, Guangdong continues to strengthen export risk protection. By subsidizing enterprises to take out export credit insurance, we will help 27,000 Guangdong enterprises effectively respond to external risks in 2023. This year, the export credit insurance policy has been iteratively upgraded, further expanding coverage, fully supporting the online insurance costs of small and medium-sized enterprises, realizing "zero running, zero cost" for enterprise insurance, and helping the majority of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to dare to take orders and receive more orders.
This year, the Provincial Department of Commerce plans to cultivate a number of provincial-level foreign trade backbone enterprises, including foreign trade manufacturing enterprises with self-management capabilities, bulk commodity import enterprises, cross-border e-commerce platforms, supply chain enterprises, foreign trade comprehensive service enterprises, export cutting-edge enterprises, etc., will cooperate with the city and relevant departments to do a good job of personal services, in the industry, finance, financing, customs clearance policies and other aspects of supporting support.
