The General Administration of Customs announced on July 4 that in the first five months of this year, the total import and export value of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone exceeded 900 billion yuan, accounting for more than 26% of the total import and export value of the National Pilot Free Trade Zone. The relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Customs explained that in the early pilot work, they promoted the orderly implementation of the pilot measures and accumulated valuable experience. Hu Jinglei, an employee of Shanghai Xinhai Customs Brokerage Co., Ltd.: Previously, we all had to hold paper documents, including handwritten customs declarations, and submit them on site. If you want to complete the data sorting, verification, customs declaration, and release of a customs declaration, it usually takes about 20 hours. The current “single window” can achieve automatic comparison, and the overall customs clearance time is basically controlled in one to two hours.
