The system for confirming the expectation of delivery of goods (SPOT) goes into testing from May 1 for some participants, and the launch in operating mode is announced from June 1.

For foreign economic activity, this means a reassembly of treasury schemes and an increased risk of “frozen” receipts.

728 14.04

China has launched a warehouse format, where customs control has been moved inside the marketplace. The declaration, inspection and loading of the container take place at the same facility, without "extra leverage" to a separate customs terminal.
