It has been five months since the implementation of the custom integration of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei province on July 1 this year.
By Nov 21, customs in the three areas had received a total of 1.8 million declarations, which averaged around 13,000 per day. Around 34,000 of the customs declarations were received by a custom and got declared from another custom.
