China's free trade zones highlight sterling business environment

China has greenlighted the export of second-hand vehicles. As a result, nine cars were loaded onto a cargo ship in Nansha port in South China's Guangdong province last week, ready to sail to Cambodia. It took only three minutes for customs in Nansha to successfully clear the vehicles.

Xu Lanfang, a customs manager in Guangzhou A&D Customs Services Co Ltd which is the agency responsible for getting the clearance, said the nine cars gained their quality report on July 16, and the company immediately applied for the export permit and started the customs clearance process.

The very next day, July 17, the nine cars were bound for Cambodia.
