From January to May, The export of Guangzhou reached 191.53 billion yuan, up by 0.1% compared with the same period of last year. There were over 10,000 registered enterprises in the pilot procurement market in Guangzhou, accounting for nearly 30% of the city's total export, which became an important driving factor for Guangzhou to maintain steady export growth during the epidemic.
The epidemic is still spreading around the world, the world economy is in serious recession, and China's foreign trade environment has become grim and complex. After experiencing the domestic pressure of orders and no orders in the first half, and the international challenge of orders and no orders in the second half, Guangzhou, the commercial capital for thousands of years, is seizing new opportunities to cultivate new growth points.
In particular, a large number of foreign trade enterprises have made full use of the tax policy, responding to the new situation of foreign trade rapidly by shifting production and sales, and accelerating the development of new foreign trade forms such as market purchase trade and cross-border e-commerce.

One day to receive a tax refund
After the outbreak of the epidemic, some countries imposed tariffs on imports from China, and a few countries suspended the import of some Chinese goods.
"The company's export delivery cycle has been extended, domestic sales have declined, and the inventory backlog value has reached 750 million yuan." Mingchuang Youpin Group is a well-known private enterprise in Guangzhou. The company has more than 4,200 stores in 93 countries and regions around the world with more than 24,000 employees. Zhang Saiyin, executive Vice President of the group, said that due to the impact of the epidemic, the company's rent, salary and other expenses are huge and the financial pressure is great.
Capital chain is the lifeline of an enterprise. In order to further support the development of export enterprises, a series of policies have been introduced in Guangzhou, such as raising export tax rebate rate on a large scale, speeding up the process of tax rebate and "allowing for shortage".

"In the past, export tax rebates were filed once a month, but now the tax authorities allow us to apply for them multiple times a month and have even put us in the 'on call' contact group. After we complete the filing online and send a letter to the group, the tax officials will immediately start the audit and receive the refund within a day or even the same day." In the past few months, Mingchuang received more than 100 million yuan in export tax rebates, which, according to Zhang, "has been really useful in easing financial constraints."

In recent years, the group has developed new markets in the Philippines and set up a demonstration center with local agents in Manila to provide a new platform for product expansion, but it was not prepared for a sudden outbreak.
"We take a 'one country, one policy' approach to the actual sales in different countries, and use high value-added products to help us expand the market and move up." Zhou Songyi, deputy general manager of Hutou Group.
"In the 'cloud' mode, the advantages of traditional enterprises participating in exhibitions are erased, and the products need to be repackaged in a standardized, templated and unified platform. Besides, the time difference and living habits of each sales area need to be taken into account comprehensively, which tests the comprehensive ability of livestreaming personnel." In Zhou songyi's opinion, the Canton Fair is both an opportunity and a challenge for enterprises, which also need to make positive and accurate responses to different regional customers, different products and tax policies.
In order to help the enterprise to seize new opportunities, the tax authorities in guangzhou ", "online and off-line way, from the aspects of exhibition, help to promote participation, open" Canton fair tax service "live special column and the fair taxation service policy propaganda, help the exhibitors convenient one-stop knowledge of relevant foreign trade export tax preferential policies, good foreign trade turnaround.

The Fair is over, but for us, 'Cloud live' has just begun." Zhou introduced that within 10 days of the exhibition, more than 3,500 people visited the hutou battery broadcast room, and signed an order of 18 million US dollars, exceeding expectations.
New business forms force innovation and transformation

The unique advantages of cross-border e-commerce against the trend play a positive leading role in the innovation and development of foreign trade, and also encourage more traditional foreign trade enterprises to go online for transformation and upgrading.
