The first batch of overseas exhibits for the upcoming 18th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) has arrived at the Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center, in Nanning, capital of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, on Sept 3.

The exhibits, covering a total of 916 pieces from Malaysia and Thailand, were mainly local distinctive products such as white coffee from Malaysia as well as tea, dried mangoes and latex pillows from Thailand. 

A special passage for exhibits at the CAEXPO has been set up by the Qinzhou Port Customs which arranged specially assigned staff members for clearance, shortening the overall clearance time to around one hour.
