Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Central Europe and Central Asia have effectively undertaken the supply of air and sea freight, relieving the pressure of the international logistics chain running poorly, and playing an important role in stabilizing the supply chain of the domestic industrial chain and promoting the recovery of foreign trade. The reporter learned from Huangpu Customs that in 2021, Huangpu Customs Supervised 182 international trains, with a freight volume of 104.05 million kg and a value of 5.639 billion yuan, up 37.88%, 15.82% and 6.73% respectively year-on-year. Set up warehouses to facilitate enterprises to improve quality and efficiency Since the opening of the first China Europe train in Dongguan Shilong in 2013, after years of development, Shilong train has become a "through train" for land trade between the Pearl River Delta region, Central Asia and Europe. But over the years, a problem has plagued operating enterprises. "Sometimes the quality of goods and the number of trains can't be determined, but sometimes the goods can't be assembled and allocated by the central European enterprises." Hou Hongnan, general manager of Dongguan Sinotrans Logistics Co., Ltd., said with worry. How can we better help China Europe trains improve their quality incrementally? Huangpu Customs immediately held an on-site office meeting to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the operating enterprises. At the same time, it concentrated the experts to conduct research, and finally decided to guide the enterprises to set up export supervision warehouses in Guangdong (Shilong) railway international logistics base, so as to facilitate the immediate tally, assembly, import and export of enterprises' goods, and improve the efficiency of goods circulation. As a kind of customs bonded supervision place, the establishment of export supervision warehouse with the approval of the customs can facilitate the storage, bonded logistics and distribution of goods that have completed the customs export procedures and provide circulating value-added services. "We have also customized a set of supervision scheme for Shilong export supervision warehouse to ensure the seamless connection between goods declaration, inspection, warehouse exit and shipment, and minimize the customs clearance time." Dongguan customs bonded logistics supervision section chief Li Yongqiang said. Facts have proved that the export supervision warehouse has indeed played a great role. From the successful delivery of the first batch of goods at the end of July 2021 to December 31, 2021, more than 273 million yuan of goods have been shipped. "After the establishment of the export supervision warehouse, we can declare the goods for warehousing and storage in advance, and then carry out centralized assembly and distribution at any time according to the needs of the train number, which is more flexible and convenient. It really realizes convenient storage, real-time assembly and real-time distribution, and the situation of 'goods waiting for vehicles' and' vehicles waiting for goods' in the past can be solved." Hou Hongnan said. In addition, while the goods circulation of China EU train is accelerating, the commodity structure is also constantly optimized. From the initial medium and low-end products such as toys and daily necessities, it is gradually transformed into the current medium and high-end products such as communication equipment, household appliances and mechanical equipment. Two way operation to stimulate vitality The origin of "Dongguan Changping" China Europe train is adjacent to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It sits on three railways and has outstanding advantages in road network resources and logistics. However, how to give full play to its regional advantages and help the development of enterprises still faces many problems. Due to the superposition of various factors such as the epidemic, the rising sea freight prices, port congestion and rising storage costs, many enterprises are unable to ship goods on schedule. The main market of a home appliance manufacturing enterprise in Dongguan is in Europe. The unstable shipping schedule since last year has led them to a credit crisis and watched the loss of orders. After learning about this situation in the enterprise investigation, Huangpu Customs jointly discussed with the local government and railway department, and finally suggested that the enterprise change to the "Dongguan Changping" China Europe train. Things soon turned for the better. The enterprise can not only save about 1500 yuan per 40 foot cabinet, but also need only 16 days to Duisburg, Germany, which saves 29 days compared with land sea intermodal transportation, and has higher stability. According to the feedback from the person in charge of the enterprise, now their delivery efficiency has been improved, customers have higher trust in the enterprise, and orders have returned. Affected by the epidemic, the return supply of China EU trains is not stable enough, and there is an imbalance in two-way transportation to a certain extent. Since its launch at the end of 2020, the "Dongguan Changping" China Europe train has overcome the adverse factors of the epidemic, realized two-way operation in a short time, improved the operation efficiency of the train, and played a positive role in stabilizing the international logistics channel in Dawan district. At present, the "Dongguan Changping" China Europe train has realized normal operation. In 2021, 38 trains, 3776 containers, 21700 tons of goods and 667 million yuan of goods have been shipped, which has built an efficient and convenient logistics channel for independent brands to explore the international market.
