Study On Effectiveness Of Yiwu Customs Clearance Reform

Due to the economic globalization, trade information technology and threats oftrade security, China Customs Strengthen reform since2009. Although customsclearance efficiency significantly has been improved, the effectiveness and relevanceof regulatory continue to be strengthened, it also induces a series of "labor pains" and"complications" of the reforms. So it is imminently need to probe the rationality of thereform and to estimate the degree of the effectiveness of the reforms, no matter for theimplementation of the Customs Department or for the front customs carrying out thereform policies. But it is because that the current research focuses on the organizationof the customs system and the optimization of the process itself, the inner mechanismof organizational change, rationality of process transformation and effectiveness of thereform have been neglect. Therefore, the author tries to analysis this issue by selectingtransaction cost as the analysis from the angle of economic, organizing sub-sectors ofclearance process as a starting point and using the analysis matrix of model EEPC.Taking transaction cost as the core, transaction cost theory can examine tradingactivity and economic system and greatly expand research perspective and researchfield of economics, but as to some reasons the result of transaction cost has alwaysbeen the heart of this kind of researcher. So the research of the customs which is akind of typical "trading environment" expands the calculation methods of transactioncost theory of transaction cost analysis framework. The main purpose of this paper isto judge the effectiveness of customs reforms legitimately. First, this paper analyzeand organizes the transaction costs of all the sectors of customs clearance based onlots of theory of transaction cost, then categorizes them and searches for theappropriate measurement indexes, and then calculate the change of transaction costsof companies. Secondly, use the analysis Matrix of EEPC model to research thechange of various aspects of the situation before and after the reform. Then, buildclearance rationality evaluation model and determination model the effectiveness ofthe reform. Finally, according to the research above, design questionnaire and collectand collate data by surveying45companies of Yiwu Customs, do the empirical analysis by getting the40valid questionnaires，estimate effectiveness of YiwuCustoms paperless clearance reform and propose appropriate reform policies andrecommendations.Through the empirical analysis, this paper draws the following conclusion:Through the empirical analysis, this paper draws the following conclusion:(1) with inthe sessions of Yiwu customs reform, there are4sites which had nothing changed,5sites which had increased woke force and improved efficiency,6sectors which wereexamined and transformation. Among them, the reform degrees of the manual reviewof the documents, Taxes pad and wait of turn off are great, the proportion had reached91.70%,95.52%and95.21%.(2) The larger the size of companies is the greater theimpact of the paperless reform. The costs of corporate administration and firm size arepositively correlated to a large extent. The waiting time during the turn off part is thegreatest impact during the process of customs clearance.(3) Reasonability of paperlesscustoms reform of Yiwu customs R up to0.91, it indicates that the reform makes theefficiency of the whole process greatly enhanced and the rationality of the wholetransformation process is very high. As to the overall effectiveness of customsreform G0.834, it indicates that Yiwu paperless customs clearance reform achievedremarkable results, but there is a large room to improve.Above-mentioned conclusions provide scientific theoretical basis for Customs toestimate the effectiveness of the reforms. This paper also puts forward a number ofpolicy recommendations to promote Yiwu Customs to move rapidly and effectively.Limited by author’s own academic standard, of course, there are many inadequacies.Limitations of this study and future research directions are mentioned in the last partof this article.
