During the press conference, Zhao Zenglian also mentioned the efforts of the General Administration of Customs in safeguarding national border security.

In the first half of the year, a total of 29,000 cases of various infectious diseases were detected, and 30,000 batches of substandard food and commodities were identified. At the same time, the Customs Administration actively safeguards border biosafety and comprehensive security, intercepting 37,000 instances of quarantine-related harmful organisms in the first half of the year, and maintaining a high-pressure stance against smuggling. The administration regulated the import and export of 2.73 billion tons of goods, collected 1.05 trillion yuan in taxes, and initiated over 3,000 cases of smuggling and illegal commercial activities with a value of over 540 billion yuan.
Furthermore, Zhao Zenglian spoke about the measures taken by the General Administration of Customs to promote export trade. He mentioned that the Customs Administration is continuously reforming and improving customs regulatory systems and mechanisms, enhancing regulatory efficiency and service quality. It has introduced a series of measures to help enterprises overcome difficulties and promote stable growth in export trade, support regional coordinated development, create a market-oriented, legalized, and internationalized top-notch port business environment, and build a high-level platform for opening up, accelerate the cultivation of new momentum for export trade development, deepen the reform of cross-border e-commerce regulation, support new business models, and proactively serve the “new three kinds” and middle goods trade.
Zhao Zenglian concluded by stating that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s export trade has grown larger in scale, improved in structure, and become more dynamic. Exports of high-tech, high-added-value, and green products have seen significant growth, fully reflecting the development achievements of China’s export trade.
