  On February 17, the People's Daily Online released "Let enterprises do foreign trade simpler and more convenient", the content is as follows.

  Chengdu Customs in January for the new customs declaration unit for the record 478, in the case of the Spring Festival holiday, but still an increase of 17.73% over the same period last year, a single day for the volume of nearly 50% year-on-year growth. Such a case is not alone. Thanks to the abolition of foreign trade operators registration requirements, operators around the process continues to simplify and reduce costs, effectively stimulating foreign trade vitality.
  In December 2022, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress adopted a decision on the revision of foreign trade law, deleting the provisions of Article 9 on the registration of foreign trade operators for the record. Since that date, the competent departments of commerce around the world ceased to handle the registration of foreign trade operators for the record. Market entities applying for import and export links license, technology import and export contract registration certificate, quotas, state trade qualifications and other related documents and qualifications, no longer need to provide foreign trade operators for the record registration materials. This is a major reform initiative in the field of foreign trade operation management, is China's firm promotion of trade liberalization and facilitation of important institutional innovation, will help further optimize the business environment, release the growth potential of foreign trade, and promote high-quality development of trade and a high level of openness to the outside world.
  The right to operate foreign trade is a basic right given by the state to foreign trade operators. Since 2004, China's foreign trade business management from the approval system to the record registration system. For a long time, the operator for the record has become a necessary process for enterprises engaged in import and export business, to regulate foreign trade has played an important role. However, it should also be seen that the exemption of foreign trade operators from filing registration procedures gradually become a common international practice. With China's opening up the door wider and wider, the abolition of foreign trade operators for the record, not only is a reasonable choice to align with international rules, but also the "administrative and service" reform is the right thing to do, but also to expand the system of openness of course. For market players to carry out foreign trade business to clear the qualification barriers, in order to use the two markets, two resources, and accelerate the integration of domestic and foreign trade.
  Private enterprises are the first major foreign trade in China. Better play the role of foreign trade "main force", the abolition of the registration of foreign trade operators is a key move. The next step is to optimize the business environment for a long time, so that enterprises to do foreign trade is simpler and more convenient. Relevant departments should do a good job of canceling the registration of foreign trade operators related work interface, strengthen cooperation and information sharing, timely grasp of the production and operation of foreign trade enterprises, strengthen the situation analysis and diagnosis, improve policy measures to further improve the level of public services to help enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, solve problems, and enhance the competitiveness of foreign trade. For illegal and non-compliant enterprises, should strengthen supervision, joint discipline, and promote the stable and healthy development of foreign trade.
  After the Spring Festival, many foreign trade enterprises to carry out business in earnest, ready to do a big job. With the abolition of foreign trade operators registration, the implementation of export tax rebates and credit insurance and other policies to promote the full resumption of offline trade fairs and other stable foreign trade policies on the ground, the development of foreign trade enterprises continue to increase confidence. We firmly believe that: more enterprises sailing out to sea and riding the waves will definitely inject inexhaustible momentum for China's development and warmth for the global market.
