In response to the circular Implementing Information Exchange, Mutual Recognition of Administration and Cooperation in Law Enforcement to Promote the Reform Program for Simplifying Customs Clearance Procedures printed and issued by the State Council, and with rich experience in port inspection and customs clearance we actively design innovative customs clearance modes, develop new methods for the information exchange, mutual recognition of administration and cooperation in law enforcement among the port authorities to offer various system solutions, including basically self-service passenger clearance system, a “two inspections at one port” system for some ports, basically one-stop customs clearance for border-crossing vehicles, and “three-one” (one declaration, one inspection and one release) for imported and exported cargos.
Take the one-stop electronic inspection and release system for vehicles at ports as an example, it shares the front-end inspection equipment and the customs clearance data and carries out inspections and release independently and concurrently while the inspection and release procedures of border inspection authority, customs and entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau remain unchanged. Thanks to its one-stop inspection and release mode, it simplifies the inspection and release procedures of vehicles and drivers, increases the customs clearance efficiency for vehicles, improves the congestion and images of ports, speeds up the modern infrastructure construction and software-based scientific management of ports and avoids repeated investment in equipment by sharing system equipment and resources. It is a good example in active response to the State Council’s reform program for simplifying customs clearance procedures.
