These certificates included 385,300 non-preferential certificates of origin and 278,400 preferential certificates of origin, up 14.24 percent and 57.76 percent year on year, respectively. In addition, there were 29,482 RCEP certificates of origin, up 26.29 percent year on year.
The increase of certificate issuance indicates that China's foreign trade remains resilient and robust, said Wang Guannan, the CCPIT's spokeswoman, at a press conference in Beijing on Sunday.
"The preferential certificates of origin issued by the national trade promotion system registered growth in both value and quantity, fully demonstrating that China's foreign trade enterprises are actively expanding diversified markets, improving product structures, and effectively adapting to international market demand through high-quality supply. It also fully proves that China's foreign trade development is resilient and robust as new competitive advantages continue to come into being," she said.
