The first batch of imported exhibits for the 4th China-CEEC Expo finished customs clearance at Ningbo Airport Port today (April 29). This batch of exhibits, originating from North Macedonia, includes prepackaged foods such as hot sauce, vegetable sauce, and jam. After customs inspection and clearance, they will be transported to the Ningbo International Conference Center in preparation for the opening of the expo. Subsequently, multiple batches of exhibits, including Polish cosmetics, Bosnian red wine, and Bulgarian skincare products, will undergo entry customs clearance procedures in succession.
The 4th China-CEEC Expo& International Consumer Goods Fair will take place in Ningbo from May 22 to 25. As China's only national-level exhibition for Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC), the China-CEEC Expo has become a vital bridge and connection to advance economic and trade cooperation between China and CEEC.
Shen Zui, Chief of the Comprehensive Business Section at Ningbo Airport Customs, stated: "The China-CEEC Expo serves as a significant platform for fostering international exchanges and cooperation. Considering that the exhibits include many special categories such as food and cosmetics, we have devised a comprehensive customs clearance supervision plan." Under the premise of complying with customs supervision requirements, we have further streamlined the customs clearance process by implementing priority inspections and expedited release for imported exhibits. This ensures the timely arrival of exhibits at the exhibition site and the on-schedule completion of exhibition arrangements."
In recent years, China's trade with Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) has witnessed continuous expansion, demonstrating the robust resilience and immense potential of bilateral trade. Ningbo is the only city in China that hosts the China-CEEC Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone. In the first quarter of 2025, Ningbo's total import and export value with CEEC amounted to RMB 15.29 billion, marking a 19.8% year-on-year increase, achieving a "good start for the year."
