The reporter learned from Lanzhou Customs that recently, a batch of domestic special machinery and equipment were declared and inspected in the Comprehensive Bonded Zone of Lanzhou New Area, and then exported to Kazakhstan through Khorgos Port for bonded leasing. This is the first bonded leasing business carried out by Gansu International Logistics Group Comprehensive Bonded Zone Company, and also the first bonded leasing business in Gansu.

Jincheng Customs, a subsidiary of Lanzhou Customs, has established a working team to guide enterprises throughout the process of standardized declaration, implement detailed customs reform and facilitation measures, and ensure the smooth clearance of this export business. Gansu International Logistics Group Comprehensive Bonded Zone Company, in collaboration with Jincheng Customs, conducted specialized research and training on the entire business process, focusing on key aspects such as regulatory requirements for new business formats, contract signing, logistics solutions, and port customs clearance. In just one week, they completed the preliminary preparation work such as establishing bonded leasing accounting books and equipment maintenance and packaging. Gansu International Logistics Group Comprehensive Bonded Area Company also took the initiative to dock with Khorgos Port to optimize customs clearance connection, and rely on overseas teams to follow up downstream customers, so as to ensure the efficient completion of lease delivery after equipment leaving the country.

Bonded goods leasing refers to the import and export leasing business conducted by leasing enterprises established within the comprehensive bonded zone, with bonded goods within the zone as the leasing subject matter, to the leasing enterprises. The lessor obtains rental income by transferring the right to use the goods, and the lessee pays the rent to obtain the right to use, and can pay customs duties and import value-added tax in installments. Under this mode, on the one hand, manufacturing enterprises can quickly realize the return of payment for goods and export tax rebate; on the other hand, overseas enterprises can use goods by paying rent, greatly reducing the pressure of capital flow, which is conducive to domestic manufacturing enterprises to expand overseas markets.

Since the beginning of this year, the Lanzhou New Area Comprehensive Bonded Zone has focused on developing its functional positioning and made in-depth efforts in expanding its foreign trade volume and innovating new "bonded+" business models. From the normalization of imports and bonded logistics distribution of precious metals, electrolytic copper, zinc concentrate, and crude copper through the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, to promoting the landing of Gansu Overseas Comprehensive Service Platform and Alibaba Cross border E-commerce Platform in the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the level of openness of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone continues to improve, and the annual import and export volume will double.
