CUSTOMS SHORTEN CHIP INSPECTIONS FOR MANUFACTURERS
缓解全球芯片荒，上海海关出奇招



The customs inspection① procedure for integrated circuits has been speeded up on a trial basis. With global shipments slowing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the shorter clearance time helps manufacturers reliant on imported chips. Sun Siqi has the story.
上海海关对集成电路的查验流程改革，可节省两天流转时间。新冠病毒大流行导致全球出货放缓，更短的清关时间有助于制造商使用进口芯片。



Customs inspectors were changing and air blasted to enter a dust-free room, where boxes of integrated circuits are opened and inspected. The chips were imported by a company that makes LCD screens for passenger vehicles. They need to be kept free of particles before being installed into the screens. Customs doesn’t have this type of facility, thus, the vacuum② packed chips were previously escorted to the factory and then inspected there by customs officers. This took time and could result in hefty compensation payments should a client order not be delivered on time.
穿上无尘服、带上防静电帽，穿过风淋门，走进企业的洁净室，为了查验这一片片"娇贵"的芯片，海关关员全副"武装"、避免灰尘入侵。这种集成电路是由一家为乘用车生产液晶显示屏的公司进口的。在将芯片安装到滤网中之前，需要确保芯片没有颗粒。海关没有这种设施，因此，真空包装芯片需要提前送到工厂，然后由海关官员在那里进行检查。这需要时间，如果客户订单不能按时交付，可能会导致巨额赔偿。

Customs needs two to three days to arrange the escort, and that extends our production cycle and lowers delivery capacity.
流转需要2-3个工作日，会拉长我们整体的清关周期，造成我们生产周期拉长，（产品）交付能力会下降。
But now, customs officers are going to the factory after the outer containers of the chips were inspected at the port.
现在海关在口岸实行外包装查验后，企业提货至工厂洁净室，再由海关赴企业洁净室进行拆箱查验。

This way, the shipment is inspected the minute the company receives it.
企业可以第一时间提货，同时我们可以在货物到达企业的同时，我们可以进行相关的查验。
The new procedure is about 2 days quicker. Eight tech firms in Pudong are part of the trial. It will eventually be expanded to more companies.
新程序大约可以节省2天的时间，在浦东新区，目前已有8家高新技术企业纳入首批试点，计划将进行进一步推广。
