In May, what is heating up in Jiangsu is not only the weather, but also the enthusiasm of foreign trade import and export enterprises to resume work and production by taking the China-Europe freight train. On May 16th, the China-Europe freight train (Suzhou), loaded with 100 teUs, weighing 1,150 tons and worth 3.65 million US dollars, departed from Manzhouli under the supervision of Suzhou Customs, which is under the supervision of Nanjing Customs office. The destinations are Austria and Holland.
Zhang Fan, general manager of Suzhou International Freight Train Co., LTD., said, "The cargo of this train is mainly electronic products, textiles, power tools and so on. During the resumption of work, rail transportation is more convenient than sea and air transportation, so our China-Europe trains were the first to resume export business." In Suzhou, the China-Europe freight trains are playing an increasingly important role in helping enterprises resume work and production.
In early May, Xuchuan Chemical (Suzhou) Co., LTD. 9.7 tons of polyurethane raw liquid was successfully exported to Uzbekistan under the supervision of Taicang Customs of Nanjing Customs Office. "With the opening of the China-Europe freight train service, we have been able to expand overseas markets. We have gained new customers in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other countries, which is expected to bring us $9 million in annual revenue for our company." Shen Liudi, customs manager of Xuchuan Chemical (Suzhou) Co., LTD., said, "Despite the impact of the epidemic, we still exported about 1,000 tons of products via china-Europe (Asia) freight trains from January to April, up 33.5 percent year-on-year."
In Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, the eastbound transit freight train loaded with 22,000 tons of hot-rolled coils slowly entered the port of Lianyungang, and was about to be shipped to Southeast Asian countries. The China-Europe (Asia) freight train has more and more routes. "This is the first batch of transit hot rolled coil trains from Kazakhstan to Jiangsu. With the strong support of Lianyungang Customs, special personnel are arranged to contact the customs at the ports of entry to optimize the supervision process and achieve efficient customs clearance of transit goods." Minmetals Logistics Lianyungang Limited manager Ding Chao said.
While stabilizing exports, the China-Europe freight train service also plays an important role in safeguarding imports. On May 10, the china-Europe freight train "Jiangsu" returned to Nanjing, carrying 39 containers, successfully arrived at Jinling Customs under the mode of "national integration of customs clearance". The train, which left Germany 20 days ago, was carrying more than 200 items of european-made chemicals, equipment parts, cabinets and food. Besides the enterprises in Nanjing, there are also import and export enterprises from the Yangtze River Delta and even Shandong. "After the outbreak of the epidemic, the price of international shipping rose sharply and the cycle was particularly unstable, which posed a great challenge to the delivery time we promised to customers. After learning that there was a return train between China and Europe in Nanjing, we made a decisive attempt. The stability and timeliness of the return train gave us a great sense of security. This ensures that we can deliver imported products to customers in a timely and efficient manner." Qi Qiaoling, deputy general manager of Cimantic (China), said.
"On average, there is no less than one return train in Nanjing every week." Kang Zheng, deputy director of Jinling Customs office in Jiangbei, introduced that in order to ensure the return of trains, Jinling Customs adopts measures such as declaration in advance, special post receiving orders, and urgent local inspection to improve the efficiency of customs clearance. Up to now, 36 china-Europe return trains have run in Nanjing, importing 20,100 tons of goods with a total value of more than 150 million US dollars.
In order to help the enterprises under the jurisdiction to take the China-Europe (Asia) freight train smoothly, Nanjing Customs actively supports the enterprises to carry out the railway "fast customs clearance" mode. Through the data interconnection between customs, railway and operating enterprises, nanjing Customs strengthens the tripartite cooperation and realizes the supervision of the import and export goods carried by railway trains. In addition, Nanjing Customs continues to expand the "Internet plus" inspection coverage. Open up a "green channel" to receive enterprises' "online reservation" in real time, and realize the inspection of import and export goods on arrival. Strengthen communication with the laboratory, do a good job of sampling, sample submission, testing and other links of the operation, guide enterprises to correctly declare, and constantly improve the accuracy of inspection. "We timely contacted the port customs to coordinate business development, strengthened communication with the railway and operating enterprises, and set up a special business team." Xuzhou customs order coco long Zhang Zunbin said, "since the implementation of the model enterprises in xuzhou customs clearance procedures fulfilled, can be directly outbound goods in frontier ports such as huoerguos, provide enterprises with a variety of customs clearance mode, shorten the trains at the border port customs clearance time, reduced the enterprise operating costs, improve the efficiency of the trains run."
According to statistics, in the first four months of this year, 19 China-Europe (Asia) freight trains in Jiangsu ran a total of 705 trains, carrying 46,900 containers and a value of 9.026 billion yuan. Year-on-year growth was 54.7%, 63.2% and 40.22%, respectively.
