The ports of entry in Nanning City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, are experiencing an influx of exhibitors participating in the 21st China-ASEAN Expo.

The event is scheduled to be held from Tuesday to Saturday in Nanning, an important gateway connecting China and ASEAN countries.

Exhibitors from different countries have increasingly gravitated toward the Chinese market, bolstered by the implementation of China's customs clearance facilitation policy in recent years.

"I'm from Malaysia. I am here to participate in the ASEAN expo. With this visa-free policy, we will take more trips to China to see what the market is like here," said an visitor from Malaysia, the country of honor for this year's expo.

With favorable policies and measures in place to felicitate customs clearance, China has been welcoming an increasing number of foreign arrivals, especially during international events like the China-ASEAN Expo.

According to data from the local border checkpoint, ports of entry in Nanning have recently processed an average of approximately 2,100 inbound and outbound travelers each day. It is expected that the total number of passengers before, during, and after the China-ASEAN Expo will surpass 20,000.

The customs authority has facilitated the clearance and entrance with various measures.

"As exhibitors and visitors are entering for the expo, we have established designated areas for command and dispatch, service as well as data analysis to ensure safe and efficient customs clearance," said Wei Zhou, instructor of Nanning General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection.
