The General Administration of Customs aims to cut average clearance times in half by the end of 2021, and implement more measures for speedier imports and exports, said an official on Friday.
"The general clearance time has been shortened by over 40 percent for eight weeks in a row," said Zhang Guangzhi, a member of the Party group of General Administration of Customs, in a press briefing.
According to GAC, by the end of October, the average import clearance process took 50.14 hours, nearly half the 97.39 hours seen last December.
