Through cooperation with Zhengzhou Customs and Urumqi Customs, Xi'an Customs will make full use of direct flights and China-Europe Chang'an freight trains to ensure that postal routes in the Xi'an customs area run smoothly.
In addition, priority will be given to the approval and inspection of special items such as COVID-19 vaccines and testing reagents to guarantee that exit customs clearance is completed within 24 hours.
When applying to register production and processing units for exported agricultural products, video reviews will be adopted during the pandemic period, and those approved will receive assistance to be sent abroad in a timely manner.
In addition, Xi'an Customs will optimize territorial inspection measures for the import and export of fresh, live and perishable agricultural and food products, and set up special green channels for inspection to ensure fast customs clearance of related products.
