On December 20, Macao celebrated the 23rd anniversary of its return to the motherland. Reporters learned from Hengqin Customs, a subordinate of Gongbei Customs, on the 19th that the customs has been constantly innovating and developing, continuously optimizing regulatory services, and helping Macao develop moderately in a diversified way. Hengqinhai opened and closed in the second year of Macao's return. It is required by Macao and directed by Hengqin. Twenty years ago, the cargo business for Macao at Gongbei Port was diverted to Hengqin Port, where customs clearance was carried out for daily food materials and building materials. On February 13, 2008, under the supervision of customs officers, the first natural gas pipeline in the mainland to supply Macao officially delivered gas. The pipeline passes through the Cross Gate Waterway from Zhuhai Hengqin and lands in Taipa, Macao. While escorting the transportation arteries of goods for people's livelihood, the ways to ensure Macao's people's livelihood are also expanding. For example, in order to realize the "front store and back warehouse" mode of temporary storage of goods required by Macao in Hengqin and sales in Macao, Gongbei Customs innovated the supervision measures of temporary storage and transit of food inspection and quarantine in Macao. In the past two years, more than 1300 tons of food have been temporarily stored and transported to Macao in batches, supplementing the market demand for people's livelihood in Macao. Today, Hengqin Port operates 24 hours a day, and implements the customs clearance mode of "cooperative inspection and one-time release". The entry-exit passengers can complete the border inspection procedures in Zhuhai and Macao by "queuing once, swiping once, and accepting a centralized inspection", making "one minute cross-border Zhuhai Macao" a reality. In order to facilitate the life of Qinhuangdao and Macao in the same city, following the implementation of the policy of Macao single brand vehicles entering Zhuhai Hengqin six years ago, on August 22 this year, the quota for Macao single brand vehicles (non operating passenger cars with 9 seats and below) entering and leaving Hengqin was released. At present, there are 9887 single brand vehicles in Macao, accounting for 70% of the total passenger cars in Hengqin Port. In the past six years, nearly 2 million vehicles with single license plates in Macao have been cleared through Hengqin Port. What Macao needs, Hengqin can. In the new stage of building Hengqin Guangdong Macao in-depth cooperation zone, Hengqin Customs has given greater support to major platforms, projects and industries in Hengqin. Among them, a "point-to-point" contact system has been established in Hengqin Guangdong Macao Cooperative Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park, and "drip irrigation" precision services have been carried out to sort out and solve the key and difficult problems of industrial development. For example, new measures have been taken to reform the quarantine of imported biomaterials, optimize the access approval process for special goods, set up a green channel, significantly improve the speed of clearance of biomaterials, and help enterprises in the zone improve their competitiveness.
