New Zealand goods for 9th CIIE arrive in Shanghai by sea

(ECNS) — The OOCL Felixstowe, the first container ship to bring exhibits for the ninth China International Import Expo, docked at Shanghai's Waigaoqiao Port on Sunday.

Shanghai border inspection authorities and the port opened a green channel to speed the safe entry of exhibits for setup.

The vessel sailed from Auckland, New Zealand’s largest port, with New Zealand specialties including gin and fruit juice to be displayed at the expo.

Border inspection agencies and port authorities have worked closely with shipping firms to roll out the channel.

Measures for international vessels include pre-arrival inspection and one-stop clearance, along with tighter on-port vessel management.
