Liu said that load meters at checkpoints would be added at a later date to provide technical support for goods customs clearance.
Informatization at the FTZ mainly includes the introduction of systems to improve customs, testing standards, and intelligent security and video monitoring equipment.
At present, about 4.9 milion yuan ($743,505) has been invested in the project.
Ma Xiaozhe, deputy general manager of the FTZ, said that the customs’ informatization engineering will be completed by July 20.
