Guangzhou Customs on Saturday rolled out nine tailored facilitation measures to ensure smooth and efficient clearance for personnel and goods for the upcoming 138th China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair.
The nine facilitation measures, including an one-stop online service platform, "green channels" for priority clearance for personnel and goods, and express departure tax refund service, aim to streamline procedures through a combination of service guarantees, policy support, and sci-tech empowerment.
"As of October 11, a total of 72 batches of exhibits, with an estimated value of 3.96 million yuan (about 557,370 U.S. dollars), have successively entered China through entry points by sea or by air, including Guangzhou's Nansha port and the [Guangzhou] Baiyun [International] Airport. The received exhibits originate from 222 exhibitors across 13 countries and regions, including Egypt, Türkiye, Thailand and Japan, and cover categories such as kitchen appliances, hardware tools and machinery equipment," said Sun Aihua, an official with Guangzhou Customs.
Scheduled to begin on October 15 in Guangzhou City, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, the Canton Fair this year features an import exhibition area of 30,000 square meters and will center on enterprise needs and deal-making, with a record-breaking lineup of over 600 product launch events, a 37-percent increase from the previous session.
