Measures to bolster ports, shipping

The General Administration of Customs introduced 10 measures on Wednesday to support Chinese companies in foreign trade. It also reinforced COVID-19 prevention measures for imports at various ports across the country. The administration will ensure the smooth operation of industrial and supply chains in key regions. It will expand the supervision of joint shipping services between ocean shipping vessels and ships operating in inland waterways. This will alleviate the pressure of insufficient loading and unloading capacity of ports and terminals in Shanghai and surrounding areas, as well as improve road transportation.

Tesla Shanghai unit resumes shipments

A ship carrying 4,767 electric cars produced by US automaker Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory left a Shanghai port for Slovenia on Wednesday, according to Shanghai Customs. It marked the first export shipment of Tesla cars from Shanghai since April 19, when the factory resumed production amid the COVID-19 resurgence in the city. Shanghai Customs said it has established a communication channel with Tesla to coordinate online Customs services and help speed up the delivery of orders.
