上海东方枢纽国际商务合作区先行启动区试运行首月通关顺畅高效

Core Viewpoint - The Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone has successfully initiated operations with efficient customs clearance, facilitating smooth entry and exit for personnel and goods, indicating a positive step towards enhancing international business activities in the region [1][2]. Group 1: Operational Highlights - As of the end of January, Shanghai Customs has supervised the entry and exit of 36,000 personnel and 2,389 batches of goods in the cooperation zone [1]. - The zone is designed to allow for the dual free flow of "goods" and "personnel," with the implementation of a smart regulatory model to maximize convenience for entry and exit [1]. - The cooperation zone is China's first new type of special area, with a pilot closed management trial starting on December 28, 2025 [1]. Group 2: Management and Regulatory Framework - The management model employs a "first line open, second line controlled" approach, which has expanded from goods regulation to include natural persons, integrating three main functions: international business communication, exhibitions, and training [1]. - For foreign personnel, only safety access and animal and plant quarantine regulations are required for bringing personal items into the zone, while domestic personnel can pre-register item information for quick passage upon exit [1]. Group 3: Future Prospects - Shanghai Customs plans to continue releasing policy dividends in the cooperation zone, contributing more "customs intelligence" to enhance the open hub's capabilities [2].
