On the stage of global trade, Tai’an’s power transmission and transformation industry is emerging with a new attitude and becoming a shining star in the field of foreign trade.
It was recently learned that from January to April this year, Tai’an City’s foreign trade performance of power transmission and transformation products was very impressive, with the total import and export value reaching 1.259 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%. Transformers, high-voltage cables and other products have become “new hot products” in the foreign trade market.
Taian City has impressive industrial advantages.
It has the largest intelligent power transmission and transformation industrial base in the province and the third largest in the country, with more than 100 enterprises above designated size.
Its equipment manufacturing involves many products such as transformers, substations, switchgear, arresters, transformers, combiners, circuit breakers and other products with full voltage levels of 1100kV and below.
After years of development, a mature supply chain, industrial chain and “R&D-production-sales” platform have been formed.
This series of advantages has laid a solid foundation for the development of Tai’an’s power transmission and transformation industry, and also provided strong support for its competition in the international market.
The power transmission and transformation industry has always been one of Tai’an’s important economic supports, but previously this industry was mainly based on domestic trade.
In order to help enterprises expand the foreign trade market, Tai’an Customs has played an important role.
Through in-depth research on the characteristics of the industry, customs staff guided companies to seize the opportunities brought by the renewal of European and American power grids and the construction of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, and make full use of policy advantages such as processing trade to expand foreign trade exports.
In actual operations, Tai’an Customs has adopted a series of specific measures.
Through a “face-to-face” approach, they provide detailed guidance on the classification of transformers and spare parts products, allowing companies to accurately grasp product classification and avoid risks caused by incorrect classification.
At the same time, the company is guided throughout the entire process to complete procedures such as the establishment of a processing trade manual to ensure that the company can smoothly carry out processing trade business.
In addition, the customs also helps companies make full use of various import and export preferential policies such as RCEP, guides companies to operate in compliance, and empowers foreign trade development with high credit.
As Tai’an’s power transmission and transformation industry continues to expand in the international market, its future development prospects are very broad.
On the one hand, enterprises can make use of existing industrial advantages to continuously improve product quality and technical level and enhance their competitiveness in the international market; on the other hand, with the support of customs and other departments, enterprises can make better use of policy advantages to further expand the scale of foreign trade exports.
It is believed that with the joint efforts of all parties, Tai’an’s power transmission and transformation industry will achieve better results in global trade and make greater contributions to the development of the local economy.
