The first inbound exhibit for the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) cleared customs on Wednesday after arriving at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport from Japan.

The exhibit, a three-wheeled electric concept car, will make its debut in the Chinese mainland at the seventh, or the 2024, CIIE, which will be held in China's economic and financial hub of Shanghai from Nov 5 to Nov 10.

The Shanghai Customs said it will continue to take measures to facilitate the clearance process of exhibits and provide efficient paperless customs clearance services.

More than 50 countries and international organizations have confirmed their participation in the 2024 CIIE's national comprehensive exhibition, including Norway, Benin, Burundi and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which will be participating for the first time.
