In 2026, Chongqing Customs will focus on three key areas, prioritizing support for building a comprehensive inland open hub to help Chongqing's foreign trade import and export get off to a good start during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
First, it will highlight achievements in reform. It will deepen the special action to facilitate cross-border trade, expand the pilot reforms of customs supervision such as inspection and quarantine at the destination, promote the direct flow of high-quality renewable resources, key mineral products, and essential commodities to the inland hinterland, and ensure the security and stability of the industrial and supply chains.
Second, it will strengthen internal and external connectivity. Relying on the global "Smart Customs" online cooperation platform and the China-ASEAN Customs' mechanism for deepening the interconnection of the International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, it will explore institutional innovations for facilitating land trade clearance and build a multimodal transport smart supervision system with Chongqing as the hub.
Third, we will promote innovative trade development. We will deepen the implementation of the free trade zone upgrading strategy, steadily promote the transformation and upgrading of the seven comprehensive bonded zones, and support the innovative development of new business forms and models such as bonded repair and remanufacturing, thereby consolidating new competitive advantages in open development.
