##广东自贸区进出口强劲增长，对东盟贸易占比近两成
**中新社广州8月20日电**(许青青 陈琳 郭亮) 据海关总署广东分署消息，今年前7月，广东自贸试验区进出口总值达4095.6亿元人民币，同比增长24.1%，在广东省外贸进出口占比稳步提升至7.9%。其中，对东盟地区进出口809.7亿元，占比近20%，展现出强劲的增长势头。
自去年6月成为中国6个试点对接国际高标准推进制度型开放的地区之一以来，广东自贸试验区在海关的积极推动下，不断深化改革，优化通关流程，提升通关效率。
**通关便利化措施显著提升通关效率**
广东省内海关积极贯彻落实试点对接国际高标准经贸规则的政策，构建与高水平制度型开放相衔接的制度体系和监管模式，助力广东自贸试验区通关便利进一步提升。
海关引导企业用好“提前申报”“两步申报”“两段准入”等政策红利，对已抵达并提交通关所需全部信息的货物尽可能在48小时内放行，通关时间更加标准和透明。
**降低企业通关成本，助力企业发展**
在原产地政策享惠方面，海关允许原产地证书存在微小的差错，降低企业的资金、人力和时间成本。以深圳前海蛇口自贸片区为例，一年来，该区累计享受关税优惠待遇货物395.76亿元，为企业节省了大量的成本。
此外，海关还指导企业办理暂时进境货物复运出境手续、延期手续，大力推广多元化税款担保，对符合条件的重点企业优化担保方式，探索适用关税保证金、政府统一担保等多元化担保方式，进一步降低企业通关成本。
**对东盟贸易强劲增长，展现合作潜力**
广东自贸试验区对东盟地区进出口的强劲增长，展现出两地经贸合作的巨大潜力。未来，广东自贸试验区将继续深化改革，优化营商环境，为企业提供更加便捷高效的服务，助力广东省外贸高质量发展，并积极参与“一带一路”建设，推动区域经济合作不断深化。
