Shanghai Speeds Up Customs Clearance of Covid Vaccines and Materials

Shanghai will open a “green channel” to speed up health quarantine approval procedures for Covid-19 vaccines, treatment drugs and other anti-epidemic materials, a customs official said Wednesday.

Shanghai is the center of China’s biomedical research and development industry, and most of the research and development of advanced mRNA vaccines are taking place in the city, which has been battling a surge of Covid cases since March.
