海关总署署长倪岳峰：2018年进出口通关时间压缩均超50%

China has slashed the average time for customs clearance by over half in 2018, far surpassing the government's previous goal to cut the average time by one third, according to Ni Yuefeng, head of the General Administration of Customs.

海关总署署长倪岳峰表示，2018年，我国进口、出口整体通关时间压缩均超50%，超额完成年内压缩三分之一的目标。

"The robust growth of China's booming cross-border e-commerce has posed challenges to customs supervision," Ni said on Tuesday.

倪岳峰在接受采访时说：“中国跨境电商行业发展迅速，这对海关的监管提出了严峻的挑战。”

To meet the new challenges, Chinese customs used the artificial intelligence technologies to help ease the clearance procedures. "In the next step, we will strengthen the supervision and improve the services," Ni said.

为迎接新的挑战，中国海关部门使用人工智能技术帮助通关。他说：“今后，我们将加强监管，改进服务。”
