China issues trade facilitation measures

China rolled out measures on Wednesday to stabilize weak trade as its economy undergoes restructuring.

Measures for simplifying clearance through customs will be carried out gradually in ports with the theme of "one-time declaration, one-time inspection and one-time clearance".
