The sea transportation is blocked, and the China Europe train becomes a "dark horse"!
China Europe is one belt, one road between China and Europe and the "one belt" along the "Railway", which first started in 2011, and has opened 73 operational lines. Originally, more than 90% of Global trade went by sea, but since the outbreak of the epidemic last year, international maritime transport capacity has been tight, one box is difficult to find, and freight rates have continued to rise, which has been exacerbated by the ship blocking incident in the Suez Canal. Therefore, the advantages of timeliness and stability of China Europe trains are highlighted.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of China EU trains in many places in China has increased by more than 50% this year, and the number of "Yixin Europe" China EU trains in Zhejiang has more than tripled.
Shanghai Baite, which is engaged in the production of high-volume injections, is also excited. This year, the enterprise stepped up its exploration of China's domestic market and was eager to purchase a batch of sterilization loads from Germany for sterilization process development and test in China. However, enterprises have also hesitated: they have to go by sea, or face difficulties in booking space, serious port congestion, unstable shipping schedule and so on; By changing to the "Yixin Europe" China Europe train, Yiwu is more than 300 kilometers away from Shanghai. Can the goods be smoothly and quickly cleared and transported to Shanghai after arriving at Yiwu port?
When Shanghai Baxter reported this concern to Jinshan customs, Jinshan customs quickly came up with a number of plans, including integrated declaration of national customs clearance, transit transportation, bonded warehousing, etc. The enterprise finally decided to give it a try. In late June this year, a batch of containers loaded with 9958 kg of imported goods started from Duisburg station in Germany, entered at Horgos port in Xinjiang, China, and quickly entered Yiwu bonded warehouse after arriving in Yiwu. Under the coordination and relay of the customs of Jinshan and Yiwu, the goods successfully completed the ex warehouse customs declaration and arrived at the warehouse of Shanghai Baite in Jinshan Industrial Zone in time.
Shortly after the arrival of these goods in Shanghai, the Customs issued the guiding opinions on the return transportation of China EU trains and related cost evaluation, which accurately divided the international and domestic freight of the return imported goods, so as to further reduce the freight of goods and encourage enterprises to change sea transportation to rail transportation. It is reported that due to the incompatibility of gauge at home and abroad, China Europe trains need to change track at the border port, and container containers need to be transferred and loaded from overseas trains to Chinese trains. The opinion of the General Administration of customs is to actively guide enterprises to declare domestic freight deduction independently.
This policy is undoubtedly icing on the cake for enterprises. According to the rough calculation of the person in charge of Shanghai Baite, the import time has been shortened by nearly 20 days by changing from shipping to China Europe train; The railway freight was originally slightly higher than that of sea transportation, but according to the latest guidance of the General Administration of customs, the freight that enterprises ultimately need to pay is about 5% lower than that of sea transportation.
It is reported that at present, from a national perspective, the trend of changing high value-added scientific and technological products to the import of China EU trains is very obvious, and agricultural products, primary industrial products and other goods that used to rely on sea transportation for a long time also began to gradually transfer to cross-border railways. The relevant person in charge of Jinshan customs told reporters that compared with Zhejiang enterprises, there are not many enterprises in Shanghai who have changed from sea transportation to China Europe train, but since Shanghai Baite took this new import Road, the number of enterprises coming to consult has increased. Jinshan customs is trying to build the new channel of import through "Yixin Europe" into a demonstration project, so that more Shanghai enterprises can gain certainty in the field of foreign trade and seize the initiative of market opportunities.
