Hubei implements paperless customs clearance
2015-10-21
Central China’s Hubei Province implemented paperless customs clearance from June 1, giving benefits to 5,097 import and export enterprises in this province.
Instead of filling the paper-based customs clearance form, the enterprises could send electronic documents to import and export goods, which cut the clearance time by 1-2 days.
It was estimated that this requirement could save 150 yuan (24.2 U.S.dollars) for each cargo and contribute to yearly retrenchment of 6,450,000 yuan (1.04 million U.S.dollars) for enterprises.
However, inspection & quarantine and certificates are still needed in importing donated medical instruments, nutrient medium of ruminant material, importing and exporting marijuana seeds, etc.
