The face recognition intelligent verification system has been fully launched at the Gyirong border residents' mutual trade market in Xizang. The customs clearance time has been shortened from 45 seconds to 8 seconds, with more than 9,000 person-times verified cumulatively. The improved efficiency drives trade growth: in the first half of 2026, the mutual trade volume exceeded 18 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32%, effectively broadening the income channels for border residents and empowering the port economy.
