Mid July: Pre-declaration System of Empty Container Import started. The release time of the empty container import was shortened to 0.2 days. Nearly 30 shipping companies utilized this function. The shipping companies, shippers, the truck forwarders and so on decreased operation expenses considerably. The opening rate of the container in checking the empty container import at dock was reduced accordingly.

Mid May, Shenzhen Customs and YICT signed a memorandum of co-operation memorandum to expedite customs declarations. The issues included are: management of customs supervisions areas;, provisional customs clearance for provisional imported empty containers; and supervision of international trans-shipment cargo at the terminal.

May 1: Yantian International introduced the Port Transportation Easy Card completely to the port gate. The card automatically reads and prints EIR and CMS. It can identify the truck and collect fees electronically. This greatly reduces the truck drivers' waiting time at the port gate and over 11,500 trucks registered in Yantian International benefit from this apparatus.

Dapeng Customs and YICT jointly implemented the pre-declaration of empty containers, to streamline customs supervision over empty containers., This effort achieves "pre-declaration, release after discharge, gatehouse management and completion of necessary procedures afterwards".
