(The 9th China International Import Expo) The China International Import Expo empowers private enterprises: looking for global business opportunities on an open platform

China News Service, Shanghai, November 9 (Gao Zhimiao) The 9th China International Import Expo is being held in Shanghai. In front of the Xinhai International customs declaration booth under Oujian Group, a staff member tapped the screen and a customs declaration form was quickly generated with the assistance of AI.

As a "full-time student" of the CIIE, Oujian Group launched the customs intelligence center "Cloud Trade" this year, covering core capabilities such as import tariff calculation, HS code intelligent matching, and AI one-click generation of customs declarations, turning the digital intelligence of customs affairs into a practical tool that can be directly used.

Wang Min, vice president of Shanghai Oujian Network Development Group Co., Ltd., said in an interview with China News Service that for private enterprises, the CIIE is by no means a short-term exhibition. It is the most intuitive signal of China's opening up to the outside world, giving stable expectations and confidence to private foreign trade enterprises, allowing them to dare to layout, invest, and connect with the global market. "The CIIE is also a 'fast lane' for private companies to connect with global resources at low cost. It is a training ground for companies to polish their compliance capabilities, supply chain service capabilities, and international service levels, allowing companies to shift from competing on price to competing on comprehensive solutions and professional services," she said.

On the stage of the CIIE, "old faces" like Oujian Group, who have been working full time for nine times, continue to expand their role boundaries; while outside the booth, a group of private enterprises entered the CIIE as "professional visitors" and looked for opportunities during the exhibition.

Shanghai Kangban Gongjian Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. is a sales company specializing in the field of household medical equipment. The company's general manager Gao Haiying told reporters that the CIIE is a window to display various brands, allowing companies to learn more about imported brands at one time. At present, Kangban Gongjian is working hard to complete the transformation from "agency sales agent" to "solution provider". Gao Haiying said that the company plans to appear at the CIIE as an exhibitor in the future and help more international brands connect with Chinese dealers and agents.

Also looking for business opportunities as a professional audience is Best. Its chief strategy officer Ma Yanran told reporters that as a company focused on the compliance and circulation of medical data, BestBit has built compliance authorization links through data cooperation with governments in multiple places, so that Chinese medical data can provide real-world research support for multinational pharmaceutical companies on the premise that "the original data does not leave the country." "The CIIE is a good window," Ma Yanran said. As China's data policy becomes increasingly improved, it is easier for local companies to obtain complete authorization links, and their advantages are gradually emerging.

The CIIE is using its powerful platform effect to open doors to the global market for private enterprises. While sharing the dividends of China's opening up, it is also injecting new vitality into the development of the world economy. "As the spillover effects of the CIIE continue to be released, more and more private companies are leveraging this open platform to deeply integrate into the global industrial and supply chains." Wang Min said.
