A customs branch was specially set up at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) to serve the event and 43 CIIE-dedicated green passages and 79 customs service windows were also open at main ports in Shanghai for customs clearance procedures like application, checking, sampling and detection of inbound goods.

A smart security check system is being used in electronic health application and inbound checked-in baggage is examined in advance to improve efficiency of customs clearance.

Paperless customs clearance was also promoted this year, which improves efficiency and lowers costs.
