BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) — Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will actively promote access to its market for high-quality goods from Central Asian countries, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported, citing a source at Urumqi Customs.
This readiness was documented in 18 measures recently released by Urumqi Customs to support the construction of China’s Xinjiang Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ).
Under the new measures, local customs authorities will be required to conduct risk analysis, draft protocols and clarify policies for agricultural products that Central Asian countries intend to export to China. Customs authorities will also speed up the inclusion of more high-quality agricultural products from Central Asian countries in the list of agricultural products approved for import by the General Administration of Customs.
Efforts will also be made to promote the diversification of sources of import of high-quality food products from Central Asian and neighboring countries, as well as to assist in expanding their range.
In addition, Urumqi Customs will strengthen technical cooperation and exchanges in inspection and quarantine safety with Central Asian countries, thus providing strong support for promoting high-quality development and high-level opening-up. -0-
