It is reported that the theme of this year’s machine tool exhibition is “Integration, Innovation, and Digital Future”, and it will be held from April 21st to 26th. The exhibition will use two exhibition halls, the Capital International Exhibition Center and the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall), simultaneously, becoming the first large-scale international exhibition held since the Capital International Exhibition Center was put into operation. For the first time, both halls will be used simultaneously, with all 17 indoor exhibition halls open, and the total scale of the exhibition exceeds 3.1 million square meters. Whether it is the exhibition area, the scale of the exhibition, or the number of exhibitors, it has set a new record.
Beijing, as a cultural center, an international exchange center and a national science and technology innovation center, has many international exhibitions. We have formulated a supervision plan of “one exhibition, one strategy”. The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Exhibition Center Customs said that this time the customs has set up a “green channel” for the machine tool exhibition, implemented “zero delay inspection and release” and “7×24 hours” appointment customs clearance and other measures to ensure that the exhibits are inspected and released in time and quickly cleared.
On April 14th, under the on-site supervision of the Beijing Exhibition Center Customs, a set of 11-ton heavy gear machines from Japan were smoothly transported into Hall A4 of the Capital International Exhibition Center, becoming the first batch of overseas参展 machine tools inspected and released by the customs.

”The green channel provides us with convenience to clear the exhibition items in time, helping the items to pass through quickly and smoothly, leaving enough time for the follow-up work,” said Shi Zhigang, general manager of Beijing Foreign Trade Exhibition Service Co., Ltd.
According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2025, the Beijing Exhibition Center Customs supervised a total of 17 international exhibitions in and out of the country, with the value of exhibits reaching 8.304 billion yuan.
