Urumqi customs, taking institutional reform as an opportunity, pays close attention to customs clearance and simplification, so as to fully release the spillover effect of comprehensive deepening reform.

We should promote the implementation of the "superior process, reduce links, simplify certificates and reduce costs", consolidate and standardize the import and export link fees, and publish the list of port charges list to the public.

We should coordinate and promote the reform of key areas such as the integration of customs and customs, the "three mutual" customs clearance, and the "single window" construction of international trade. We should deepen the reform of decentralization and administrative examination and approval system, and fully implement the "double randomization and openness", so as to fully realize the goal of "one gate" and "one gate" and "one run" at the same time.

According to Urumqi customs statistics, in December 2018, the total customs clearance time in Xinjiang was 29.41 hours, which was 67.49% lower than the average time in 2017. The export time was 1.16 hours, which was 56% lower than that in 2017. The completion target of "1/3 of the total clearance time" proposed by the general Administration of Customs has created a good business environment for Xinjiang port and the trade along the border.
