On April 8, at the Zhongshan Port International Container Terminal, cargo ships were being loaded in an orderly manner and then setting sail one after another for overseas markets. Such a busy scene takes place here almost every day.

As a major foreign trade city, Zhongshan recorded a total value of imports and exports of 52.76 billion yuan from January to February this year, up 17.4% year-on-year, setting a new record high for the same period. Notably, imports and exports by private enterprises surged by 32.7%, emerging as a key driving force for this growth.

Behind the efficient outbound trade is the Zhongshan Border Inspection Station's continuous optimization of customs clearance services, with 24/7 "zero-wait" inspection upon arrival and "zero-delay" inspection measures safeguarding foreign trade.
