China's customs regulator released measures on Thursday to overhaul customs services for the newly-established free trade zones (FTZs) in Guangdong province, Tianjin city and Fujian province.
Â
The General Administration of Customs (GAC) said enterprises registered in the three FTZs will be allowed to lodge customs declarations across the country, in a bid to make procedures more efficient.
Â
GAC will scrap tariffs for selected goods produced by enterprises in the "Customs Special Supervision Areas" in these FTZs.
Â
The administration promised to improve regulation for cross-border e-commerce businesses, and intensify efforts to crackdown on smuggling and intellectual property right infringement.
Â
GAC will also support customs cooperation between Guangdong FTZ and Hong Kong, Macao; Tianjin FTZ and Beijing, Hebei province; Fujian FTZ and Taiwan.
