Hangzhou, July 18, 2023 – In preparation for the upcoming Chengdu Universiade, Chengdu Customs has implemented upgrades and transformations to the special channel for the event, aimed at facilitating the smooth entry and exit of passengers.

With more than 200 members of the Brazilian delegation set to arrive in batches before the opening ceremony on July 28, Chengdu Customs has taken proactive measures to ensure a seamless entry process for all participants. As part of the upgrade, six special channels specifically designed for the Universiade have been optimized to enhance the customs clearance process and improve efficiency.
Chen Yang, deputy director of customs at Shuangliu Airport, a subsidiary of Chengdu Customs, explained the improvements made: “We have installed eight self-service declaration machines in the customs entry health and quarantine area, as well as added two special windows for material declaration to facilitate the entry and exit of passengers.”
These enhancements are expected to streamline the customs clearance procedures for all athletes, officials, and delegates attending the Universiade.
