　　New progress was made in connectivity

　　From January to November this year, Gongbei Customs supervised over 94.3 million inbound and outbound passengers at Zhuhai and Macao ports, and 2.78 million vehicles of Guangdong and Macao dual license. Zhuhai-macao port is a vivid footnote to the in-depth integration of zhuhai-Macao development.

　　On September 8, as a key livelihood project connecting Zhuhai-Macao, the Qingmao port was officially put into operation. The number of zhuhai-Macao overland passenger ports has been increased from four to five. The "hard connectivity" of infrastructure has increased the development of Zhuhai-Macao.

　　In the three months since the opening of Qingmao Port, the total number of customs clearance passengers has exceeded 2.3 million, with an average daily average of 25,000 and a peak of 40,000. The port implements the mode of "cooperative inspection and one-time release" for passenger health and quarantine, and uses X-ray machines, intelligent sorting lines and other scientific and technological equipment to build the whole process of port security defense. The safe, convenient and efficient customs clearance environment provides convenience for Macao residents to work and live in the two places. Statistics show that Macao accounted for nearly half of the passengers entering and exiting the border through Qingmao port, the highest among zhuhai-Macao ports.

　　"Now it takes about 20 seconds to complete customs clearance, and it only takes 15 to 20 minutes to drive from my home in Macao to my workplace in Hengqin. I believe that more Macao people will come to work and live in Hengqin in the future." "Said Zhou Yunxian, founder of Hengqin Cross-border Network Technology Co.

　　In 2021, the total quota of single-license vehicles in And out of Hengqin in Macao will reach 10,000, and the validity period of temporary license plates will be increased from three months to one year.

　　Fresh progress was made in industrial upgrading

　　Recently, a batch of freshly baked Macaroons and egg rolls from Macau Jia Ying Food Factory entered the mainland through the Zhuang-Macao Bridge port. Through the customs clearance "fast road" set up by the Mainland and Macao under the "Cooperation Arrangement on Food Safety Supervision of Macao Manufacturing Exported to the Mainland", this batch of Macao special food was quickly transported to Shanghai and other mainland consumer markets.

　　"We now enjoy preferential inspection, direct release after sampling, quick certificate issuance and priority testing. The average time from declaration to visa release is less than one hour, which reduces operating costs and gives enterprises more confidence to explore the mainland market." Jia Ying food co., LTD.

　　From May to November this year, 95 tons of Macau-made food have been imported into the Mainland through customs clearance measures under the framework of CEPA, involving 31 varieties of pastries, biscuits, confectionery, drinks and moon cakes that are well received by the mainland market.

　　Gongbei Customs actively explores "moving forward and moving back to medium and excellent" customs supervision, and speeds up its efforts in mechanism innovation. Guangdong and Australia cooperate closely to jointly safeguard port public safety, ecological safety, animal and plant safety and product safety. According to the Framework Agreement on Cooperation on E-Cert for Plant Products signed by General Administration of Customs and Macao SAR Government, Gongbei Customs strengthened the establishment of effective e-cert cooperation mechanism with relevant parties in Macao. With a click of the mouse in front of the computer, the electronic data of plant quarantine certificate can be sent to the Macao Municipal Administration Department, which not only reduces the cost of quarantine compliance for enterprises, but also effectively prevents fake certificates and other situations. By the end of November this year, more than 600 shipments of flowers and seedlings for Australia have been cleared through e-cert. The establishment of e-certificate cooperation mechanism also provides a strong guarantee for the implementation of the "quarantine advance and cooperative supervision" mode of flowers and seedlings for Australia, and lays a solid foundation for the integrated prevention and control of regional ecological security.
