With the arrival of summer, the number of inbound and outbound passengers at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport at has increased significantly. The reporter learned from the Hangzhou Border Inspection Station that the current summer student tour groups and parent-child tour groups have become the "main force" of overseas tour groups. How to save time in queueing to pass the level quickly? Inspectors at Hangzhou Border Inspection Station "provide tips" on the spot.

The first "tip": Check whether your passport is electronic passport
The new version of the passport issued after 2013 is commonly known as an electronic passport. Just below the word "passport" on the passport cover, there is a rectangular and round symbol in the middle, and the passport with the letter "E" at the beginning of the passport number is an electronic passport. The electronic version of the passport is equipped with sensitive electronic components, and the passport information is stored in the electronic chip.

The second "tip": Scan the electronic passport and go through self-service customs clearance is as convenient as brushing the passport and
side inspection self-service channel is located on the right side of the entry hall. Each self-service channel has two gates. The first gate reads the built-in chip information of the passenger's passport or pass, and the second gate verifies the passenger's fingerprint and facial biological information. Put the electronic passport on and place it in the designated area. All the information in the electronic chip can be sensed. In about 5 seconds, the first gate will automatically open. After entering, place your right thumb at the designated location, and then use facial recognition and fingerprint recognition. For about 3 or 4 seconds, after the biological information is verified, the second gate will automatically open and the clearance step will be completed. Under normal circumstances, the entire process will take about ten seconds.
In addition, in addition to passports, Chinese citizens can also enter through self-service channels with electronic chips. When entering the country, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan residents can also go to a large port in advance to register their biological information and clear the right way.

The third "tip": If you are a child or have children among your peers, please queue up in the Chinese citizen channel
Self-service clearance Although it is convenient and fast, children cannot go through the self-service channel. If you are a child, or there are children among your travelers, you still need to go to the manual counter of Chinese citizens for border inspection. For example, when a parent-child tour group enters the country, parents or teachers need to take their children to the manual passage to queue up, which avoids the inability to pass the smooth pass after queuing in the self-service customs clearance channel. You need to queue up in the manual passage again to increase the customs clearance time. However, now the border inspection has opened a dedicated channel for Chinese citizens. If you are a Chinese citizen, you can queue up in this channel, and it is very convenient to pass the pass.
