The 2013 WTO agreement on trade facilitation clearly demands that members should strive to build or maintain a "single window" of international trade. At present, the more than 60 countries and economies are implementing the "single window" of international trade. It has become an important way to promote trade facilitation, optimize business environment and enhance national competitiveness in the world.
To promote the construction of "single window", not only meet the needs of China's foreign trade development strategy and economic development, more conducive to the realization of optimization of the foreign trade management functions, is conducive to enhance the level of modernization comprehensive management of foreign trade, is conducive to further adapt to the construction of the new system open and the need of economic business environment. According to the overall deployment of the Central Committee and the State Council, as of the end of 2017, the overall goal of building "single window" at all ports across the country has been achieved on schedule, and has realized three aspects of coverage in terms of area, function and business volume.

A total of more than 70 thousand registered users are registered.
The "single window" of international trade is the government's "one-stop" online window for international trade. For import and export enterprises, no matter how many departments, no matter how many processing links, can be handled in this window. The "single window" will change the international trade clearance process from "serial" to "parallel", effectively solve the problem of multiple declaration and repeated declaration, and achieve a "five one" featured function of access, submit, check, track and handle at one station. For government departments, information sharing and mutual assistance can be achieved through a "single window". This aggregation effect brings "win-win" to enterprises and government regulators.

Building a single window of international trade is not only a key measure to cultivate new advantages in foreign trade competition and facilitate trade facilitation, but also an inevitable requirement for developing a higher level open economy. The core value of a single window is the exchange and sharing of information. Therefore, the "single window" function of international trade should be further extended and moved back to achieve docking with related industries such as finance, insurance, e-commerce, logistics, postal service, civil aviation, railways, ports, wharfs and other related industries, covering all links of the international trade industrial chain. The special customs supervision zones, comprehensive test area, cross-border electricity from free trade port related services trade zone, included; advancing the clearance data, documents, simplified process coordination, reduce the number of documents submitted to the customs procedures, customs clearance and improve the automation level, strong data sharing between departments fully.

To take the initiative to mark the international advanced experience, to build a world-class, international trade and Chinese powers commensurate, bigger, stronger, better "single window", both for the global international trade "single window" contribution to the construction of "Chinese wisdom", let the foreign trade management system reform achievements benefit more enterprises, promotion of foreign trade enterprises get a sense, provide a new "power trade liberalization and a higher level for high quality upgrading and transformation of foreign trade development Chinese".
