New Era of Reform and Opening Up | Empowering Customs Modernization with 'Smart Brain'

The construction of smart customs has entered the stage of "final assembly and integration", and the core goals of "safety, convenience, and efficiency" are gradually being implemented. Based on this foundation, Ningbo Customs actively plans to promote the construction of a "smart brain" for customs, deepen and extend the achievements of smart customs construction, and promote the upgrading of customs management to "global and intelligent".
Anchor the core positioning and calibrate the direction of the intelligent center
Building a "smart brain" for customs must be based on the positioning of the "big picture of the country", planned and promoted from the strategic perspective of the Party and the state, and ensure that the upgrading of intelligence always serves the responsibility and mission of "guarding the country's borders and promoting development". The precise anchoring of this positioning is based on the main framework of smart customs construction.
Clarify the core connotation and determine the direction. Build an intelligent management system that meets the operational needs of smart customs and has dual attributes of law enforcement and government management. This system is based on national strategic requirements and meets grassroots law enforcement needs, forming a transmission chain of "strategic goals intelligent solutions implementation", providing two-way support for promoting trade facilitation and safeguarding national security.
Focus on the development stage and plan the layout. Build an intelligent agent that integrates decision-making, perception, and execution, undertaking core functions such as intelligent operation, command and monitoring, and process analysis, to help achieve the goal of "being flexible and well managed". This layout is closely aligned with the development stage of smart customs from "single point intelligence" to "global intelligence", focusing on optimizing and upgrading the existing management loop.
Consolidate the support foundation and build a solid foundation for intelligent upgrading
Customs management has a wide radius and multiple elements, and the vertical leadership system requires extremely high coordination. To build a "smart brain" for customs, it is necessary to coordinate multiple elements such as technology, practice, policy, and talent, and build a solid foundation for construction with systematic thinking.
Multi dimensional support and strong guarantee. The construction of smart customs has accumulated comprehensive data resources through nine landmark projects, providing a solid technical foundation for the construction of the "smart brain" of customs. On the basis of practice, Smart Customs has established cross departmental and cross level data interfaces and business processes, and built a three-level management loop. In addition, the policy guidance of the national "14th Five Year Plan" and the establishment of a "business+technology" composite talent team provide conditions for exploring the construction of customs "smart brain".
Collaborative architecture design. Using systems thinking to construct a three-layer architecture of "data-driven application" to ensure that the customs "smart brain" continues to adapt to management needs: the data layer serves as a "fuel pool", integrating business, management, and external data and conducting governance; The driver layer serves as a "power source", relying on artificial intelligence algorithm libraries and rule engines to generate decision instructions; The application layer serves as a "practice field" and is implemented in scenarios such as law enforcement supervision and government management.
Activate endogenous power, release technological innovation efficiency
To activate the endogenous power of the "smart brain" of customs, it is necessary to anchor the construction path of "technology iteration process optimization system collaboration", break through the traditional management time and space constraints and collaborative barriers, and release the efficiency of intelligent central governance.
Technological iteration solidifies the foundation of power. On the basis of existing intelligent customs models and intelligent equipment applications, deepen the upgrade of artificial intelligence algorithm libraries and rule engines, and strengthen the efficiency of the driving layer's "power source"; Relying on the business process visualization tools and logical maps already built by Smart Customs, we can break down customs clearance, supervision and other links, accurately locate obstacles and dynamically optimize them; Promote the deep linkage between intelligent equipment and the data layer and application layer, and build a closed-loop chain of "perception judgment execution".
System innovation broadens the dimension of driving force. Constructing a "traceability monitoring prediction" system in the time dimension, predicting algorithm trends; Deepen national integrated data management in spatial dimension, improve the three-level response of "General Administration of Customs - Directly Affiliated Customs - On site", promote cross domain supervision of "remote control+intelligent devices", and achieve precise resource allocation; The collaborative dimension connects with departments such as commerce and taxation, and builds a cross domain intelligent collaborative system.
Build a strong security barrier to ensure the smooth operation of the intelligent system
The construction of the "smart brain" in customs must always adhere to the safety bottom line, not only to prevent technological application risks, but also to strengthen national security and management norms through intelligent means, providing solid guarantees for the operation of intelligent systems.
Strong institutional safeguards and norms. Convert customs regulations and policy documents into a machine executable rule library, establish a dynamic update mechanism, and ensure real-time synchronization of policy adjustments to business processes.
Intelligent prevention and control to build a defense line. By relying on technological systems to integrate internal control, risk control, and operation control resources, we aim to strengthen the "three lines of defense" of grassroots self-control, functional monitoring, and specialized supervision.
