Prospects and Challenges Analysis of China's Customs Tobacco Trade Security and Facilitation System Innovation

Abstract

At present, affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the global industrial chain and logistics chain have been hit, and the international trade security and facilitation order have encountered unprecedented challenges. As a supervisory authority for the entry and exit of a country, customs plays a pivotal role in global economic exchanges. The customs management system is also considered one of the core issues affecting international trade, and the customs clearance link is the crucial link in the ongoing international trade. Customs clearance efficiency, import and export procedures, import and export time, import and export costs, and transparency of border management and other issues related to trade time and trade costs are closely related to customs. In the WTO's trade facilitation agreement, 90 per cent of the content is directly related to customs. At the same time, certain specific powers possessed by the customs as a government department also make it shoulder the obligations of the times entrusted by the sovereign state,this includes safeguarding normal international trade and combating the smuggling of tobacco and frozen products.Achieving adequate supervision and promoting trade facilitation are the main contradictions and challenges faced by customs in various countries under economic globalization. Facing the new international environmental changes, the customs of all countries need to spare no effort to overcome barriers and join together.
