Today (March 1) marks the first anniversary of the formal implementation of Hengqin Guangdong-Macao deep cooperation division management.

Man and vehicle traffic are more convenient and cargo flow is more efficient. According to statistics from Hengqin Border Inspection Station, as of yesterday (February 28), there were more than 2.54 million vehicles entering and leaving the country on the front line, and more than 23.8 million people entering and leaving the country, an increase of more than 30% year-on-year; there were 19.25 million vehicles leaving the region on the second line, and the dividends of various policies have been steadily released.

The line management is to set the "first line" between Hengqin and the Macao Special Administrative Region and the "second line" between Hengqin and other areas within the customs of the People's Republic of China. At 9 a.m., the "first line" is the Hengqin Port, which ushered in the peak period of customs clearance, and vehicles entered the gate to clearance in an orderly manner. It is understood that shortly after the implementation of the branch line management policy, 30 "joint one-stop" passenger and freight vehicle inspection channels and the vehicle-mounted personnel inspection and delivery hall were successively opened.

Deputy Director of the Border Defense Inspection Department of the Hengqin Border Inspection Station of Zhuhai Border Inspection General Station: The opening of the new lane and the inspection and release hall of personnel on board has increased the overall customs clearance efficiency of vehicles by 40%, and has also saved more than 10 minutes for passengers who pass the bus to clear the average time.

Since the implementation of the line management, policies such as "Qin-Macao Tourism Group" and "one visa and multiple trips" for traveling to Macau have been implemented one after another. According to statistics from the Hengqin Border Inspection Station, more than 62,000 people have used "Qin'ao Tourism" visa and more than 52,000 people have used "one visa and multiple lines" visa to pass through the Hengqin Port, and the demand for tourism to Australia has continued to expand.

Hengqin Resident Ms. Xiong: After having "one sign and multiple trips", I feel that living in Macau is no different from Hengqin. It is very convenient, which is a trip that can be easily taken.

The line management policy has also promoted the flow of goods in the Hengqin cooperation zone to be more efficient and convenient, and the Hengqin tax-free policy has been further expanded. In Hengqin, goods with a value-added 30% or more are processed and imported into the mainland through the "second line" and policies such as exemption from import tariffs, bringing more opportunities and development space to enterprises.

Xi Xin, Deputy Director of Hengqin Customs, to Gongbei Customs: We have also continuously deepened the connection of rules and mechanisms, innovatively implemented the "one order and two reports" in Guangdong and Macao, simplified declaration of goods, and the maximum compression of declaration elements exceeds 60%.

The integration of people's livelihood continues to improve, creating a livable and business-friendly environment

Since the first anniversary of the branch line management policy, institutional innovation has been carried out in important areas such as customs clearance supervision, cross-border financial management, market access, customs clearance of people and vehicles, and cargo entry and exit, to create a livable and business-friendly environment for Hengqin. More and more Macau residents have chosen to work and live in Hengqin.

The reporter came to the "Macau New Neighborhood" health station in Hengqin and saw that the pharmacy was filled with various Macau medicines. As long as you show your Macau ID card and your residence permit in Hengqin, you can enjoy medical services that are in line with Macau. At present, more than 296 Macau drugs have entered the Hengqin "Macau New Neighborhood" health station, and doctors and nurses are also from the Macau Health Bureau.

Hengqin is accelerating the connection between Macau's public service and social security system, and the 24-hour government service center and elderly service center that can handle Macau business are also operating one after another. Macau residents who meet the conditions can carry more than 300 animal and plant products in seven categories that they need for their daily life and enter Hengqin through the "first line". The line management policy provides basic institutional support for building a production and living environment that is in line with Macau and realizing the integrated development of Qin and Macau.

Su Kun, Deputy Director of the Executive Committee of Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone: At present, the cooperation zone is carrying out evaluation of the implementation effect of line management. In the next step, the Executive Committee will explore more open and innovative branch management measures around the goals and tasks of the second phase of the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone" to ensure that the "first line" is truly liberalized and the "second line" is efficiently managed.
