Units and enterprises engaged in processing trade apply to Bank of China located in the competent customs for building margin ledger for materials and parts imported for processing trade depending on formalities approved by the competent customs and in accordance with contract filing amount of materials and parts. Finished products processed are all exported within the specified processing period, and then Bank of China cancels the margin ledger after the customs cancels the contract.
