Public-private Partnership (PPP): Service Model Innovation for Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau in China

Abstract

Under transitional economy how to improve the performance of public administration has become an urgent problem for Chinese government. The China Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau (CIQ) is a specialized official department that is responsible for various inspections, quarantine and related managerial activities for import-export products as well as persons and provides the corresponding inspection and quarantine certificate according to government regulations and international rules. In the paper, taking Guizhou Entry-exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau as a case, we explore how to establish new service model to provide better and more efficient services to the import-and-export enterprises. According to the results of field survey, this paper suggests that entry-exit inspection and quarantine center should be set up to provide more value-added and customization services in which Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model can be employed to integrate the inspection activities into production processes.
