4 Air Cargo aircraft : China Korea, Japan, Russia Carrier: OZ, KA, KL, CA, CZ, MU, NH, LD Aircraft: Boeing 747 Pick up service: truck Customs Clearance: local airport

5 Inspection & Quarantine General cargo Hazardous cargo Foodstuff (Fresh & Frozen food) Animals and Plants Electromechanical products Waste

6 Inspection & Quarantine License Inspection of package Health quarantine and treatment Certificate of origin (Form A : Japan & Russia) Container inspection

7 Customs Clearance Regional Customs Clearance: Local declaration, port clearance Credit enterprise management: Facilitation measures of A & AA level enterprise Paperless, online payment, clearance appointment, rapid transit

8 Customs Clearance Sino-Euro Safety &Intelligence &Trade project Suggestion on pushing NE Asia SIT project: Cooperated by national customs, customs and enterprises, completion trade supply chain safety and rules between NE Asia countries, achievement on cargo monitoring and control via webbased system.

9 QA I Cooperation between and among NE Asia countries is on many levels and involves many government departments, but coordination between and among actors should be improved. II It is different for domestic committees to coordinate activities within their countries due to the large number of agencies involved. III Too much focus is put on investment in infrastructures compared to investment at the technical and business levels.

10 QA IV There is no effective channel for complaints from private sector users of the transport system. V No major breakthroughs have been made in transport system technology. VI Cargo distribution channels and multi-modal transport are not smooth and more needs to be done to achieve standardization of trading terms, delivery modes, and technical issues in the region.

11 Suggestions I Government departments should reduce border crossing charges and only impose charges that are cost related. II The transparenyof measures for monitoring the performance of border crossing officalsshould be enhanced to improve efficiency and reduce corruption. III Entry formalities should be simplified, charges should be prescribed, and one-stop services should be provided with electronics customs declarations.

12 Suggestions IV A practical coordinating mechanism with the technical and private sectors should be set up to improve cooperation and information interchange between and among the countries with multiple channels. V Cooperation on regional harmonization and the elimination of barriers to efficient transport and trade should proceed. VI Serious attention should be paid to the needs of private sector transport operators and prompt action should be taken to solve the problems incurred during transport operations.

13 Suggestions VII Rules on bonds or bond insurance for transport operations involving two or more countries should be established, monitoring and control procedures should be simplified, and existing transport agreements should be implemented efficiently by introducing market means for regulation. VIII Documents should be standardized and electronic documents should be introduced by market means. IVV New commercial modes should be explored and support provided with relevant policies and financing, e.g. for leasing means of transport, for application of new technologies such as GPS(3G) and RFID.

14 Recommendation on area of further development in NE Asia West China: e.g. Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi an Chongqing, the only municipality of China inland. Active domestic & foreign investment, industrial cluster, cloud computing. Transport & finance center on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
