With whir of rotary machine out from the bright windows of a clean plant, when entering the 1,000-square-meter workshop, people see mechanical arms conveying steel plates and parts without human presence; it was not a scene shown in science fiction, but one shown in Shanghai Baoshan Robot Industrial Park. Shanghai Wusong Customs House guides local leading robot manufacturers to customs reform projects and helps them get benefit from the reform. In recent five years, the Customs has exercised control over 3.5 billion yuan worth of robots, representing an average annual growth at 15%.
As a key industrial park listed in Shanghai's “Twelfth Five-Year Plan Period”, the Baoshan Robot Industrial Park has get great development since its establishment, business volume growing year by year. In recent years, as China's robot manufacturers are joining international competitions, Wusong Customs House has strengthened its policy support for robot manufacturers in this Park, guiding the enterprises to the reform projects like “integrated aggregate taxation” and “nationwide clearance integration”.
For instance, Shanghai Funuc Company, one of the best automatic equipment vendors in China, has got much support from Wusong Customs. In March, Funuc was admitted to “integrated aggregate taxation” mode and Wusong Customs upgraded clearance service for the Company including special personnel at special window and release on declaration. In June, the Company was also provided with “nationwide clearance integration” and the Customs assigned special personnel to help with the process.
Additionally, Wusong Customs will, in line with regional high-tech industrial planning and with local government agencies, provide this Robot Industrial Parkwith preliminary guidance, interim technical support, and periodic problem analysis.
