The customs changes the real-time examination to follow-up inspection and takes the latter as principal; third, try the networked supervision and work-order write off. In respect of processing trade enterprises under ERP system management and storage logistics enterprises under warehouse management system, and conduct the customs-enterprise networked supervision, making real-time control and dynamic check on the entry, exit, consumption (transfer) and store of enterprise goods. With respect to processing trade enterprises, cancel unit-consumption declaration and exercise the write-off mode based on the work-order data; fourth, try the practice of “pushing forward and moving behind”, optimizing inspection. Under the premise of effective control formed by the whole zone management and networked supervision, put stress on strengthening pre-event risk analysis, confirmation and inspection, strengthening the follow-up inspection, verification and case-investigation, and pass the inspection stress forward and backward to form dumbbell-type supervision mode; fifth, build an upgrade version of classified clearance and paper-free clearance reform. Based on the existing reform, further raise the ratio of computer automatic examination and discharge of low-risk bills of entry, canceling requirement for attached documents. As for high-risk bills of entry under clerical key examination, only if necessary, request enterprises to provide attached documents; sixth, innovate in the “separate delivery and concentrated declaration, and voluntary transportation” mode between the four customs special supervision areas in the Pilot Zone, and gradually promote the pilot cross-customs bonded transfer between the Pilot Zone and other special areas directly under the customs supervision; seventh, further perfect the zone-port integrated operation mode, and study to realize the convenient supervision measures for direct clearance of cross-customs-ports entry-exit bonded goods into the Zone. Continue to give play to the advantage of the management mode in force in Yangshan Port, and constantly expand the port’s radiative function; eighth, set up a mode of multiple account book management of enterprises in the Pilot Zone to satisfy demands of development of diversified business such as bonded processing, bonded logistics and bonded service of enterprises in the Pilot Zone, realizing classified supervision; ninth, increase the customs tax relief mode, implement selective taxation policy, and levy customs duties on import materials applied for by the enterprises or on goods under the actual declaration state; tenth, allow enterprises in the Pilot Zone, under the premise of effective guarantee, to conduct bonded display trade first and then, within the prescribed time, go through concentrated tax payment formalities; eleventh, intensify the follow-up supervision on import and export enterprises in the Pilot Zone, and carry out the differentiate inspection operation mode, conducting different inspection and check operation mode, method, scope and frequency with respect to import and export enterprises in the Pilot Zone based on different supervision needs by the customs or on the risk level of enterprises; twelfth, promote the area clearance cooperation between the Pilot Zone and the surrounding areas with close economic ties, and accelerate the realization of the integration operation and obstacle-free clearance to give play to the radiative driving role of the Pilot Zone.
(3) Supporting the expansion of functions. Support the expanded opening-up in financial service, shipping service, business service, professional service, cultural service and other service fields, urge the Pilot Zone to take the lead in transformation upgrading towards six great centers, namely, the manufacture center, maintenance center, marketing center, settlement center, R&D center and logistics center, set up the pilot mode of customs supervision suitable thereto, and actively cultivate new trade business modes, so as to realize the simultaneous development of goods trade and service trade.

    III. Supportive reforms
    1. Reorganization of institutional personnel
    On the principle of “simplification, unification and efficiency” and according to the work requirements of “optimization by consolidation, setting up posts adapted to conditions, personnel matched to posts, simplification and efficiency”, take demands of institutional innovation and service reform as the guide, take the straightening out of the management system and operational mechanism as the core, set up by integration the customs institutions in the Pilot Zone, rationally allocate human resources, achieve the goal of overall management, optimized setting up, “weakening the upper, and strengthening the lower” and shifting down the main emphasis of work.
    (1) Doing well in the top-level design of the customs institution in the Pilot Zone. First, integrate the institutions and personnel of Waigaoqiao Bonded Area Customs, Yangshan Port Customs and Pudong International Airport Customs under the jurisdiction of Shanghai Customs in charge of service of the customs special supervision areas, and set up China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Customs (deputy department bureau level) that conducts the unified management of the Pilot Zone. Second, in consideration of Yangshan Port as the state-designated first-class open port, the customs’ main service being port clearance and the convention of customs named generally after the port’s name, in the opinion of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, in order to push forward the building of Yangshan Port into an international shipping hub port, easy to conduct cooperation in law enforcement with international ports, strive to keep the sign of Yangshan Customs for foreign contact use when submitting the plan for integration of the Pilot Zone customs institutions to the Establishment Office of the Central People’s Government. Third, first set up three agencies at division level under the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Customs: Office Stationed in Waigaoqiao Bonded Area (conducting overall management of the customs service of Waigaoqiao Bonded Area and Waigaoqiao Bonded Logistics Park), Office Stationed in the Pudong Airport Comprehensive Bonded Area, and Office Stationed in Yangshan Bonded Port Area. Next, further study the adjustment thereof depending on the operation of service. Fourth, there are two anti-smuggling branch bureaus at present (Shanghai Waigaoqiao Bonded Area Customs Anti-smuggling Branch Bureau, Yangshan Customs Anti-smuggling Branch Bureau). After approval of the integrated establishment of Pilot Zone Customs by the Establishment Office of the Central People’s Government, synchronously set up China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Customs Anti-smuggling Branch Bureau, exercising overall management of anti-smuggling service in the Pilot Zone.
    (2) Doing well in planning the establishment of internal institutions of the Pilot Zone customs. First, break up the pattern of line segmentation and corresponding functional management of existing institutional establishment, foster the concept of modularized setting-up, and strive for office-division-integrated setting-up, and function-integrated management. The Pilot Zone Customs has two comprehensive guarantee departments of General Office and Supervisory Auditing Office, and four division-level functional divisions, namely the Goods Trade Supervision Division, Service Trade Supervision Division, Inspection Division and Sci-tech Informatization Division. Among them, the General Office covers duties of the operation management of comprehensive office, personnel political work and financial equipment; the Goods Trade Supervision Division and Service Trade Supervision Division cover duties of the operation management of processing trade, supervision, taxation and clearance, and the Service Trade Supervision Division also has the operation management duty of various new trade business modes; the inspection division covers duties of risk management, inspection, enterprise management, and statistics. Second, consolidate and reorganize the existing posts of on-spot service departments, realize the substantial simplification of the total of section-level institutions in the Pilot Zone Customs, and the substantial optimization of the operational mechanism. Streamline five section-level institutions by exercising unified management of on-spot “personnel, property, and things” of every kind of service; streamline four section-level institutions by integrating the inspection force in the Pilot Zone; reduce about 40 supervisors in documents filing examination and checkpoint inspection to replenish the posts of real goods supervision and risk analysis by reform of service procedures and optimization of posts setting up. After integration and optimization, the total of section-level institutions is reduced from 31 to 22, 29.0% less.
    (3) Doing well in the estimated allocation of human resources in the Pilot Zone Customs institutions. First, based on the existing human resources in the Pilot Zone, make the initial allocation of personnel of the inner comprehensive guarantee department, service department and on-site units of the Pilot Zone Customs in proportion of 5%, 20% and 75% to realize the goal of “weakening the upper and strengthening the lower” and shifting downward the main emphasis of work. Under the conditions of the total personnel of the Pilot Zone Customs increased from 403 persons to 503 persons, the comprehensive guarantee personnel reduced from 35 persons to 20 persons, 42.9% less; the supervisors of documents filing examination and checkpoints are reduced from 183 persons to 143 persons, 21.9% less. Second, according to the progress of adjustment and change of the Pilot Zone service procedure and posts setting up, continue to increase the ratio of on-site personnel. Assign all the human resources redundant from the service procedures and links, saved by application of sci-tech achievements and renovation of installation and equipment and newly replenished, to the front-line work at grass-roots of the risk analysis and real goods supervision so as to improve the customs control capability. Third, according to the actual progress of service reform and procedure resetting, scientifically estimate the overall demands of personnel allocation of the Pilot Zone Customs in a period from now on, strengthen the front-line supervision force in the Pilot Zone in the three channels: first, Shanghai Customs shall focus on the overall plan of existing human resources, pay attention to inner potential tapping and strengthen the actual supervision force by reducing the comprehensive guarantee department personnel in the Pilot Zone customs institution, cutting down the deployment of manpower of other units of Shanghai Customs, tilting to the allocation of new recruits in 2014; second, the General Administration of Customs shall send cadres to the Pilot Zone to take a temporary post, make transfer from inside of the system, and reflect the actual demands of human resources in the Pilot Zone Customs to the Establishment Office of the Central People’s Government to request for rational addition.
