Municipal Leaders Investigate And Guide Customs Clearance Facilitation

In order to further optimize the port business environment and reduce the transportation cost of import and export enterprises in Wuhu, on May 24, Vice Mayor He Dong went to Wuhu Port and Comprehensive Bonded Zone to investigate the customs clearance facilitation work.

Through field visits, listening to reports and other methods, He Dong got a detailed understanding of the customs clearance procedures of enterprises, port capacity, freight rates, comprehensive bonded zone business, etc., and had discussions with relevant units and import and export enterprises on how to optimize the customs clearance procedures and reduce the transportation costs of enterprises.

He Dong approved and appreciated the continuously improved efficiency of Wuhu’s import and export customs clearance. He pointed out that in response to the shortage of containers and rising freight rates encountered by enterprises during the epidemic, departments should strengthen coordination, pool their efforts, and introduce effective policies to reduce the compliance costs of import and export enterprises. It is necessary to speed up the intelligent construction of ports and Comprehensive Bonded Zone, promote the informatization upgrading and transformation of customs clearance and continue to improve the comprehensive services of ports, realizing the multi-win situation of increasing the business volume of Wuhu Port and Comprehensive Bonded Zone and reducing the operating costs of import and export enterprises.
