Tariff revenue soars in Shanghai ( 2003-12-22 15:19) (Xinhua)
Shanghai Customs reported a tariff revenue of 78.3 billion yuan (9.46 billion
US dollars) by Dec. 8 and said the volume for the whole year would top 80
billion yuan (9.67 billion US dollars).
Shanghai, a major economic powerhouse located in east China, would continue
to lead other provinces and municipalities in terms of tariff revenue this year,
a customs officer said Monday.
The encouraging result was mainly attributed to efforts to take stricter
measures against loopholes in tariff exemptions, provide round-the-clock
services, and accelerate the application of information technology to enhance
customs supervision over trade companies.
