In the first quarter of 2026, major chemical enterprises including Yihua Group and Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group moved over 230 million yuan of products into Yichang Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Yichang Three Gorges Bonded Logistics Center. Thanks to the policy that treats goods entering the zone as exported, the companies were able to secure quick tax rebates and accelerate capital turnover.

　　The bonded zone, working with Yichang Customs, adopted a “batch declaration and consolidated reporting” model to streamline customs clearance. With 50,000 square meters of reserved storage space, the facility processes up to 2,000 tons of goods per day. By March 12, the total import and export value handled by the bonded zone reached 551 million yuan, a 70% increase year on year. These efforts demonstrate the growing strength of Yichang’s open platforms, helping companies seize global market opportunities and injecting fresh momentum into Yichang’s high-quality, export-oriented economy.
