China said yesterday it will work with Russia to restrict the so-called "gray customs clearance" system in a bid to reverse a decline in bilateral trade.
Sun Yongfu, director of the department of European affairs under the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), made the announcement yesterday at a press briefing.
"Gray customs" is the name given to the illegal practice of getting items across the border without official customs approval.
