On July 13, at Zhongshan Port's Shipping Terminal, a shipment of passenger elevators produced by TK Elevator (China) Co Ltd would be delivered to Thailand via Guangzhou's Nansha Port under the "One Port Pass" policy in the Greater Bay Area. This signaled the regular operation of the "Zhongshan Port-Nansha Port One Port Pass" mode.

Meanwhile at Zhongshan Port's outbound wharf, the "Greater Bay Area Combined Port" mode has already been implemented. Since the beginning of this year, more than 7,000 twenty-foot equivalent units of Zhongshan-made household appliances and hardware products were exported overseas under this mode. "From January to June, the container throughput increased by 6.4% year-on-year," said Liu Xiangke, customer-service deputy manager of the outbound wharf.

According to Zhongshan Customs, from January to June this year, Zhongshan's total import-export value was 148.91 billion yuan, up 23.6% year-on-year. The total export value was 124.73 billion yuan, up 27%, and the total import value was 24.18 billion yuan, up 8.8%. Zhongshan's trade values with Belt and Road countries and other RCEP members totaled 39.47 billion yuan and 35.78 billion yuan, up 34.5% and 24.8% respectively.
