On April 9th at 3:00 pm, the Hengqin Port Passenger and Freight Vehicle Joint One Stop Lane Vehicle Personnel Inspection and Release Hall (hereinafter referred to as the "Vehicle Personnel Inspection and Release Hall") was officially put into use, marking the full opening of the Hengqin Port clearance area. The Hengqin Guangdong Macao Deep Cooperation Zone has implemented a policy of "first line" release of goods, "second line" control, and highly convenient personnel entry and exit line management, which has been more fully guaranteed. It is reported that the inspection and release hall for accompanying personnel is open 24 hours a day, with a total of 22 channels and 11 channels in each entry and exit direction. Among them, 8 are fast inspection channels and 3 are manual channels, all of which adopt the "cooperative inspection one-time release" inspection mode. The accompanying personnel can get on and off at the entrance of the accompanying personnel inspection hall, without the need to detour to the travel inspection hall for customs clearance, greatly improving the efficiency of passenger clearance. In addition, Chinese citizens aged 70 or above, children aged 10 or below, pregnant women, and all disabled and inconvenient individuals who need assistance can continue to pass through the entry and exit lanes without getting off the vehicle when riding non operating vehicles. Non accompanying personnel must continue to pass through the travel inspection hall. Compared to before, the distance has been greatly reduced and the clearance efficiency has been further improved by going to the travel inspection hall on the second floor of Hengqin Port for customs clearance. Just after 15:00, the personnel inspection and release hall at Hengqin Port welcomed the first inbound passenger. "I passed the customs quickly today and felt very good! I had to go for a walk around the lobby before coming over, but now the inspection and release hall is downstairs. As soon as I got off the car, I followed the instructions and came in. The on-site signs were very clear and it felt very convenient." The first passenger to pass, Ms. Gao, said happily. "The onboard personnel inspection and release hall implements 24-hour customs clearance, adopting a convenient customs clearance mode of" cooperative inspection, one-time release "for customs health and quarantine, and a joint inspection mode of" one machine, two screens, one pass "for customs and security inspection in the exit process, making passenger clearance more convenient." Huang Bin, Deputy Director of Hengqin Customs under Gongbei Haiguan, said. At present, the daily average clearance volume of passenger and freight vehicles at Hengqin Port is about 5500 vehicles. Since the joint one-stop lane trial operation of passenger and freight vehicles at the port on September 26 last year, the cumulative clearance volume has exceeded 1 million vehicles. After the opening of the inspection and release hall for accompanying personnel, the customs clearance area of Hengqin Port has been fully opened, promoting more efficient and convenient flow of logistics, people, funds, and information between Qinhuangdao and Macau, and helping to create a "new home" for cross-border integration and living of Macau residents.
