MNI BRIEF: China To Enhance Customs Clearance
MNI (BEIJING) - Authorities will aim to improve China’s airport customs clearance services, policy guidelines released by the General Administration of Customs showed on Thursday.
Measures include expanding the accessibility of international and regional aviation hubs and strengthening silk road links.
The administration will steadily implement plans to allow round-trip crews to avoid border inspection procedures at eligible airports, while encouraging airlines to increase cargo capacity and international routes.
The U.S. action to end de minimis provisions will incentivise certain China e-commerce sellers to ship in higher volume via sea routes and store goods in American warehouses, local analysts recently told MNI. (See MNI: Trade Friction To Weigh On China Shipping Rates)
