From April 2017, Hangzhou Customs released several innovative 

regulatory measures. Highlights include: (1) Cross-region direct supply 

(cross-customs direct supply). Suppliers will directly supply bonded fuel 

oil from Zhoushan Customs to that of other customs including Ningbo, 

Nanjing, and Shanghai as well as Jiaxing, Wenzhou and Taizhou for 

international-route ships. (2) Bunkering at moorings outside ports. Fuel 

barges can supply bonded fuel oil to international-route ships that are 

moored outside a port. (3) One-to-many bunkering. One fuel barge can 

supply bonded fuel oil to multiple ships in one bunkering operation. (4) 

Many-to-one bunkering. Several fuel barges can supply bonded fuel oil 

to one ship in one bunkering operation. (5) Post-bunkering declaration. 

A supplier of bonded fuel oil for international-route ships may make 

customs declarations after bunkering. (6) Public depot. Several 

suppliers can share a public bonded depot for supplying bonded fuel 

oils to ships. (7) Quarantine declaration exemption. international-route 

ships that are moored outside a port waiting to be bunkered can be 

exempted from quarantine declaration if they are evaluated as low-risk 

ships.

On August 8, 2017, the General Administration of Customs released 

the Operating Procedures of PRC Customs on Regulation of CrossCustoms Direct Supply of Bonded Fuel, a breakthrough rule of the 

customs on how cross-customs direct supply of bonded fuel is to be 

regulated. The Operating Procedures provides specific, uniform rules 

for such bonded fuel operations in Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, and 

Ningbo, which facilitate the coordination among the customs authorities 

in these four regions and help develop the Northeast Asia Bunkering 

Hub.

On July 4, 2018, the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce issued 

a reply on the bonded fuels blending business in the China (Zhejiang) 

Pilot Free-Trade Zone (FTZ), supporting companies in the FTZ to 

engage in the physical blending of bonded fuels as well as related 

processing and trading activities.

On August 2, 2019, the State Council released the Notice on the 

Master Plan on Establishing Six New Pilot Free-Trade Zones. In 

particular, the plans support the development of bonded marine fuel 

business in the Shandong and Hebei FTZs, and permit companies 

registered in the FTZs to carry out blending operations for bonded oils 

of different tax numbers, marking the further opening-up of the bonded 

marine fuel market.
