China Customs said Jan–Jul Guangdong’s customs advanced‑certified enterprises
(AEOs), just 1.11% of foreign‑trade firms, accounted for 48.73% of the
province’s trade; their imports and exports rose 25.7% in that period. Guangdong
has 2,035 AEOs, the most nationwide, and added 111 this year, expanding AEOs
coverage. Customs is promoting credit‑based facilitation, targeted credit
cultivation, enterprise coordinators and cross‑agency incentives to grow AEOs.
Policy is also pushing to develop 15 industry‑chain lead firms; Jiangmen has
cultivated 14, supporting orderly relocation of Pearl River Delta industry and
technology upgrades in sectors including home appliances, textiles and metal
products. Customs said it is helping key private exporters meet international
trade standards and strengthen internal controls to boost competitiveness.
