For goods import and export through the Airport, enterprises under Guangzhou Customs coverage is allowed to declare locally, whether it is in Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Shaoguan, Qingyuan, Yunfu or Heyuan, while complete the real clearance at the Airport. When time permits, this mode will be promoted among the customs through Guangdong Province at approval of the Guangdong Sub-Administration of the General Administration of Customs.

To support the Airport transiting business and realize the relay from air cargo and land cargo or vice versa between origin and destination, the customs allow qualified enterprises to operate “Truckliner” to facilitate the land transportation of international goods. The customs provide “Truckliner” one-stop service of “one declaration, one inspection and one release.”



5. The customs simplify the formalities and facilitate the trade for goods of air-land-air mode between Guangzhou and Hong Kong airports or Guangzhou and Macau airports to make the most of the aero resource. In specific, the customs treat the air-land-air goods through land transportation with a reference to air cargo.

Ordinary trade goods without thorough clearance can be stored in the bonded warehouse, while bonded goods can also be drawn between customs. Meanwhile, bonded warehouse provides storage service for processing business in bonded district or export processing district. And simple processing operation is allowed in export supervision warehouse.

Goods through the bonded logistics center can be declared, transferred or drawn directly at the center.



8. The customs will sets up bonded supervision tunnels linking the Airport and Guangzhou Development District, bonded districts and export processing district. For goods through the above tunnels, the customs will give facilitation, taking advantage of policy and situation preference of the Airport and the districts.
