A shipload of Angolan crude oil was the first cargo to have its passage through Chinese customs eased by a simplified procedure for inspecting imports to China, the Dazhong Daily reports.

The report says that as soon as the ship arrived customs officers went aboard to inspect the cargo, taking just 40 minutes to obtain samples before giving permission for unloading.
