Guangdong has formulated the implementation plan and deployed to launch pilots in Guangzhou and Dongguan before the end of July and to achieve full coverage in the whole province by the end of the year. To attach importance on promoting the establishment of operation time limit standard for various work procedures, as well as production operation time limit standard for loading and unloading, warehousing, transportation, container shifting, unstuffing, etc. in all port service departments in Guangdong Province; and on supervising each port service department to enhance work efficiency and improve service quality. In accordance with the implementation of 3-Mutuals and the construction of integrated clearance, Guangdong will fully support and cooperate with the port inspection departments of central leadership stationed in Guangdong Province to implement relevant reform affairs and measures of minimizing cargo customs clearance time, and work together to realize the objective of reducing 1/3 cargo customs clearance time of 2016.
