Beijing Customs announced 10 measures on Wednesday to facilitate inbound tourism and consumption, including streamlined transfer procedures at the city's international airports.

Under the new measures, arriving passengers can pre-declare luggage through apps including Mobile Customs, WeChat and Alipay before arriving in Beijing. Travelers can also access customs regulations and submit declarations through these platforms' customs service features.

"Seamless clearance" will be further implemented. This initiative uses technologies like preliminary machine inspections to integrate luggage checks into the regular baggage handling process.

For international transit passengers, Beijing Customs now supports airlines offering international transit flights and mixed international-domestic routing services with direct luggage check-in, eliminating the need for multiple baggage handling.

Departing travelers will also benefit from enhanced convenience. They can complete check-in and baggage procedures at city terminals like Caoqiao subway station, with customs providing remote luggage supervision to improve the travel experience.

The measures also encourage both downtown and port duty-free shops to sell domestic trendy products, helping Chinese brands reach international markets.
