To ensure smooth customs clearance for exhibitors and business delegates, a dedicated "Expo Border Inspection Channel" has been established at the airport, implementing the 240-hour visa-free transit policy.
A new "zone- and category-based inspection" model for inbound foreign nationals has been introduced, leveraging big data and smart border inspection equipment to enable precise and efficient clearance.
Additionally, online submission of arrival cards is being promoted through "early processing, mobile handling, and guided assistance," while tailored services for key business delegates continue to be optimized.
