11月5日，第四届中国国际进口博览会将拉开帷幕。截至7月27日，284家世界500强及行业龙头企业签约参展，数量已超过上届，签约展览面积已达36万平方米，已有50多个国家确认参加国家展。进博会已成为不少外国商品进入中国市场的快速通道。进博会意向成交金额逐届攀升，第三届超过726亿美元。
In addition, a 365-day perennial trading service platform has also been opened. Since the 3rd CIIE, Shanghai has accumulated "66 CIIE days + 365 days" trading service platform, and nearly 180,000 exhibits have been entered into the Expo, involving 1,390 exhibitors and a total of RMB 146.47 billion of imported goods.
此外，还设有365天常年交易服务平台。第三届进博会以来，上海累计搭建56个进博“6天+365天”交易服务平台，引入进博会展品近18万种，涉及展商共1390家，累计进口商品1464.7亿元。
In addition to building platforms, in recent years, China has taken the initiative to lower import tariff rates many times, especially of consumer goods where the demand and domestic supplies don’t match. At present, China’s overall tariff level has dropped from 9.8% in 2017 to below 7.5%.
除了搭建平台，近年来，我国多次主动下调进口关税税率，特别是降低百姓生活有需求、国内供给有短板的消费品关税税率。当前，我国关税总水平已由2017年的9.8%降到7.5%以下
Meanwhile，In June 2021, the overall customs clearance time for imports across the country was 36.68 hours, a reduction of 62.34% from 2017. Minister of Commerce revealed that China's CBEC retail imports implement positive list management. The Ministry of Finance and relevant departments have adjusted the list twice, and now there are more than 1,400 commodity tax items in the list. The next step will be to further optimize the list to better meet domestic consumer demand.
与此同时，2021年6月，全国进口整体通关时间为36.68小时，较2017年压缩了62.34%。商务部透露，我国跨境电商零售进口实行正面清单管理，财政部会同有关部门已两次调整清单，现在清单内商品税目已超过1400个。下一步将研究进一步优化清单，更好满足国内消费需求。
This trend is exciting when the pandemic slowing down global economy and traditional market growth at saturation.
