FTZ introduces customs innovations

Innovative measures on customs auditing were launched recently in the Dalian section of the China (Liaoning) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

Under the measures, enterprises can declare the goods independently and organizations approved by customs conduct the audits. Customs does not interfere in nonviolation issues.

If any smuggling of goods is suspected, customs staff members conduct remote audio and video inspections via an online platform. On-site inspection by customs officers is conducted only when suspicion remains.
