On February 10 and 11, for the first time, Zhongshan Customs handled customs clearance procedures for two shipments of goods from Artesyn Embedded Power Co Ltd. These two shipments of goods were used to prevent and control the novel coronavirus pneumonia and were imported through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

"The protective supplies are provided to our employees who return to work." Miss Ye of Artesyn Embedded Power Co Ltd said. Thanks to the "one-on-one" handling of Zhongshan Customs, the first batch of materials were declared at 12:16 on the same day. It took less than 4 hours from the declaration to transport to the factory in Zhongshan, providing a timely and powerful guarantee for the company to prevent and control the epidemic and resume work and production.

At present, Zhongshan Customs has strengthened "non-contact" work and simplified the work process. At the same time, Zhongshan Customs has opened a "green channel" and a "special window". In case of emergency, the supplies for epidemic prevention can be registered and released first, and procedures can be completed subsequently. Through various means such as "declaration in advance", imported goods can be "released as soon as possible" and the export declaration procces can be greatly accelerated.

In the face of the epidemic, Zhongshan Customs has also taken a number of measures to reduce the cost of enterprises, including expanding the scope of tax exemption for donated imported materials, extending the time limit for tax payment, postponing the starting date of import and export declaration delay payment, and exempting the guarantee payment for the postponement of manual processing trade.
