China will launch a new round of special campaigns to facilitate cross-border trade in 2026, said Sun Meijun, head of the General Administration of Customs, at the national customs work conference in Beijing on Saturday.

Sun said that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), Chinese customs recorded an annual average of 5.2 billion tons of imports and exports, with a total value of 42.3 trillion yuan (about 6.07 trillion U.S. dollars).

During the period, China fully realized integrated customs clearance, with 19 new comprehensive bonded areas established, and 41 ports open to the outside world newly added or expanded, she said.

Sun said that a new round of initiatives will be launched in 2026 to facilitate cross-border trade, further advancing the innovative development of foreign trade.

"We will launch a new round of special campaigns to facilitate cross-border trade, support innovative development of new business forms and models such as cross-border e-commerce, overseas warehouses, the low-altitude economy, market procurement, bonded maintenance, testing, and remanufacturing, and help expand trade in intermediate goods, digital trade, and green trade," she said.

In 2026, Chinese customs will optimize supervision models for inspection and quarantine to facilitate the import of high-quality agricultural products, consumer goods, and germplasm resources.

China is one of the top three trading partners for over 160 countries and regions worldwide.
