A few days ago, the State Port Management Office officially approved Liaoning's pilot project to carry out intelligent construction of railway customs clearance logistics, supported our province to rely on China (Liaoning)'s international trade "single window" pilot project to build Shenyang Trans-Eurasia Logistics railway logistics information platform, and promoted the intelligent construction of railway customs clearance logistics. This will further enhance the level of port digital empowerment, realize the integration of "customs clearance+logistics" business processes, and help Trans-Eurasia Logistics develop in high quality.

The port resource conditions are an important support for the revitalization and development of our province, and will play a greater role in building a new frontier of opening up to the outside world.

Efforts will be made to improve the level of port opening, enhance the level of customs clearance facilitation, strengthen the digital empowerment of ports, and strengthen the role of port work mechanisms. The role of ports in promoting local economic radiation will continue to strengthen, and the scale and quality of port economy will continue to improve, Provide strong support for Liaoning to strive for new frontiers in opening up and achieve new breakthroughs.

Actively support ports with a good industrial foundation and obvious market demand to apply for the construction of designated regulatory sites for meat, grain, frozen aquatic products, and fruits according to procedures, and promote the development of ports from a "channel economy" to an "industrial economy".

In terms of improving the facilitation level of international trade customs clearance, our province will focus on addressing the "bottlenecks", "pain points", and "difficulties" that business entities are concerned about, establish a mechanism for optimizing the port business environment through rapid response, collaborative disposal, and efficient response, and create a first-class port business environment. We will comprehensively carry out a special action to optimize the business environment at ports, and continue to optimize the business environment at ports.
