Risk Management Research On Areas Under Special Customs Supervision

With the continuous development of China’s foreign trade, our customs is facedwith two pairs of major contradictions: strict supervision vs. effective operation, andlarge volume of business vs. a lack of management resources. The contradictionsreflect most sharply in those areas which are under special customs supervision.Enterprises belonging to those areas enjoy the optimal policy, so they hope they canalso enjoy higher efficiency in customs clearance. In the light of these situations, toseek the balance of law enforcement and customs clearance efficiency has become thestrategic objective of the customs modernization. At the same time, in order to realizethis objective, risk management concept should be introduced to the customsmanagement practices in those special supervision areas. China’s customs has begunresearching the modern customs system since1994, but until now, the riskmanagement has really been established as the central part of the second step of thestrategic planning of the modern customs system’s development. though China’scustoms has obtained certain achievements in the popularization and application of therisk management system, risk management research and practice is only in itsbeginning stage, and China’s customs still has a long way to go compared withdeveloped countries, especially given the blank state of the risk management researchin the areas under special customs supervision. To better serve the local economicdevelopment, especially the development of good special supervision area, theintroduction of risk management concept is very meaningful.This project, relying on the development models of areas under special customssupervision, has been based on the theory of risk management, framed in customs risk analysis, and has adopted the methods of literature research and empirical analysis.It has illustrated the current situation of risk management of the areas under specialcustoms supervision, has analyzed the risk causes, and has also put forwardcountermeasures against the risks.Through analysis and research, this project has established the risk managementconcept in the special supervision areas: in a thorough understanding of thecharacteristics of regional customs clearance risks, adopt scientific classification oflogistics, and try to achieve the most efficient and effective supervision by takingall-round, multi-level dynamic management and control through the entire process;Through the organic integration of risk information, logistics information and relatedbusiness information, monitor the whole logistics process; and through the supervisorycontrol of the pre-, mid-, and after-stages of the logistics, further strengthen thesupervision of the actual goods.
