Guangzhou Customs introduces 33 measures to facilitate cross-border trade

Recently, Guangzhou Customs issued detailed measures for the 2026 Cross border Trade Facilitation Special Action, with 33 measures focusing on key commodity clearance, innovative regulatory models, cross-border logistics development, port capacity building, rule and mechanism docking, and optimization of enterprise friendly services, to promote the level of cross-border trade facilitation to a new level.

In further improving the efficiency of customs clearance for import and export goods, Guangzhou Customs focuses on creating a "customs clearance fast track" that covers seven major categories including research and development supplies, high-tech goods, fruits, frozen aquatic products, automobiles, biomedicine, and agricultural and food products. Among them, 24-hour appointment customs clearance is implemented for imported high-value fruits such as cherries and durians. Combined with the comprehensive three-dimensional logistics network of "sea, land, air, rail, and mail" in the customs area, we will further promote the pilot application of multimodal transport supervision models such as rail, sea, and rail, and promote the realization of "one order to the end" customs supervision.

At the same time, the customs are exploring the integration of smart supervision and rules, and improving regulatory efficiency through smart means. By establishing data connectivity and intelligent equipment application lists, promoting collaborative and efficient operations, realizing intelligent supervision of diverse goods and multiple types of businesses, supporting the promotion of "on-site inspection and immediate inspection" of more key import and export commodities, increasing the equipment of intelligent rapid screening devices, and improving the level of port specialization.
