Youyiguan border gate in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region launched 11 measures on June 13 to optimize clearance services between China and ASEAN.

Located in Pingxiang on the China-Vietnam border, Youyiguan border gate is the largest land border gate between China and ASEAN, and is also one of the most convenient international trading passages. The import and export volume handled by Youyiguan border gate accounts for more than 60 percent of the total at all Guangxi border gates. 

A staff member from Youyiguan border gate said that the measures were released following continuous cooperation with Vietnamese border departments. They include giving priority to trucks loaded with export cargo from large and medium-sized companies or those with high added-value products, dynamically adjusting the service times, and allowing people to make reservations for clearance inspection. 

Youyiguan border gate has also moved forward with software and hardware upgrades for its vehicle self-inspection system, in order to increase the efficiency of vehicle inspections.

Efforts have also been made in other areas, from expanding online platform service capacity and carrying out regular legal publicity drives, to soliciting suggestions from the public.
