Research On Logistics Socialization Reform Of Customs

In 1983,the working group on institutional reform of the central government and the state council set the goal of gradual commercialization and socialization of the logistic services for government organizations.Since the late 1990 s,the domestic universities and colleges have gradually commercialized their logistic services.However,logistic services of China Customs are still stuck in the traditional taking-on-everything management mode,which is out-dated and relies on old experience and methods.Its preliminary exploration in this initiative is limited to some local and individual practices such as property management and shuttle buses.The report of the 19 th national congress of China's Communist Party states that we should actively respond to the growing needs of the people for a better life in the new era and persist in reform and innovation.It also stresses that we will continue to deepen the reform with a view to “delegating central power to lower levels of government” more thoroughly,“regulating power” more effectively and “providing service” with better quality.In other words,we will exchange the reduction of administrative power for a boost of market vitality.With the continuous development and improvement of China's market economic system,the concept of“letting professional people do professional things” has been deeply rooted in people's mind.Most of the routine work of customs logistics can be undertaken by professional social forces.Only by relying more on social forces,can we reduce the dependence on administrative resources.Only by actively introducing the market competition mechanism,can we optimize the exiting management mode and maximize the benefits.As a pioneer and experimental field of China's reform and opening up,Shenzhen has a relatively mature market economic system.Shenzhen Customs,boasting its diversified operation categories and big workload,has been piloting the project of logistics socialization,which is a representative case among national customs districts.Taking Shenzhen Customs as an example,this study combines the related theory of public administration and starts with the current situation,trend and constricting factors of logistic management in Shenzhen Customs.By reviewing the socialization process of logistic services,it further explores the necessity and difficulties of logistic reform and analyzes reasons behind the scene.Taking the requirements of national development and reform into consideration,it tries to put forward some suggestions on the socialization of logistics services and prospects the way ahead.
