According to the introduction of relevant departments of Yangpu Economic Development Zone, three export containers loaded with household appliances manufactured by Foshan Yiriying Import and Export Co., Ltd. set sail from Nansha Port in Guangzhou on April 3 on the 305S voyage of the domestic and foreign trade ship "Yuantai 28", declared the tax refund at the port of departure, and then exported to Bangladesh through Yangpu Port in Hainan. The amount of tax refund declared for this ticket is 64,650.12 yuan. After the port of departure is used for tax refund declaration, the time for Nansha export enterprises to transit through Yangpu Port can be 2-6 days earlier than the general situation, which can effectively reduce the operating costs of enterprises.
Lin Jingjing, deputy director of the Shipping Office of Yangpu Management Committee, said that Yangpu is now vigorously promoting domestic and foreign trade co-ship transportation between Yangpu Port and the port of departure and the tax refund business at the port of departure. With the gradual implementation of free trade port policies such as tax refund at the port of departure, and the subsequent filling of bonded oil with foreign trade on the same ship, inland export goods will be guided to gather in Yangpu, which will add momentum to the free and convenient transportation of Hainan Free Trade Port.

The tax refund at the port of departure is an institutional innovation on the basis of export tax refund, which requires the full cooperation and close cooperation of customs, taxation and port and shipping enterprises at the port of departure and transit. Under normal circumstances, export enterprises need to transport the goods to the exit port and go through customs clearance procedures before they can apply for tax refund to the tax authorities. After the implementation of the tax refund policy at the port of departure, the goods are deemed to be exported after the release formalities at the port of departure, and the tax refund formalities can be handled with the tax authorities.
Last year, the container throughput of Yangpu Port was 1.0 1.930 TEU, and foreign trade accounted for about 20%. Lin Jingjing said that the implementation of the tax rebate at the port of departure is conducive to attracting foreign trade goods to gather, developing value-added services such as warehousing, collection and distribution, and increasing the comprehensive competitiveness of ports and shipping.
