CUSTOMS in the northeastern Shenyang province announced that it would take steps to enhance customs clearance efficiency and facilitate foreign trade growth, reports Xinhua.

Shenyang Customs will widen the reform of the enterprise credit categorising system in the entire customs area. Companies with higher credit limits can enjoy more simplified and faster clearance service.

It will stop or cancel some charges for enterprises in imports and exports, like declaration form barcode fee and customs supervision charges to further simplify customs clearance procedures, reduce both cost and time for companies and facilitate the development of provincial foreign trade.

The applicable scope has been upgraded from class A enterprises to the class B manufacturing export firms with higher credit limits. Customs will also cooperate more closely with other customs branches to optimise clearance and offer greater convenience to promote regional trade development.
