In the summer of 2026, a truck loaded with integrated circuit products drove out of Suzhou Industrial Park and completed the full process automated customs supervision and release at the Shanghai Airport Suzhou pre cargo terminal. It then headed straight to Shanghai Pudong International Airport and immediately took an international flight overseas. This cross regional 'seamless clearance' is a vivid epitome of the high-quality development of customs services in the Yangtze River Delta integration.

On November 30, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on deepening the development of the Yangtze River Delta integration in Shanghai, proposing a 12 word requirement of "exploring ahead, leading and demonstrating, and radiating and driving", emphasizing the need to break down regional divisions and administrative barriers from the perspective of institutional mechanisms. The General Administration of Customs has repeatedly issued three rounds of key measures to support the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and has established a comprehensive policy support system. Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Hefei resonate with the "one game" thinking and transform the General Secretary's instructions into a powerful driving force for serving the development of foreign trade. From January to July 2026, the Yangtze River Delta region achieved an import and export volume of 11.41 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%, accounting for 37.9% of the country's total import and export value, setting a new historical high for the same period
