By the end of 2025, Xi'an Air Port will be able to connect with 39 cities in 25 countries around the world, covering eight cities in five Central Asian countries. The number of all cargo routes will increase to six, and the "friend circle" in the air will continue to expand. The service scope of the China Europe Railway Express (Xi'an) basically covers the entire Eurasian region. The first China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Turkey multimodal international train has been successfully launched, with more diverse train routes and more flexible transportation modes. With the acceptance of designated regulatory sites for frozen aquatic products, the expansion of designated regulatory sites for grain, and the continuous upgrading of smart logistics monitoring systems, the functions of the two major ports have become more sound, and their radiation and driving capabilities have become more prominent. The open layout of "dual port coordination and air rail mutual assistance" is accelerating.
The customs clearance process at Shaanxi ports is faster. Xi'an Customs is promoting the integrated construction of smart customs and smart ports. "Smart Travel Inspection" is applied in Terminal T5 of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, which completes the verification of passenger items and health declarations in 7 seconds, checks checked baggage for a single inbound flight in 20 minutes, and allows inbound passengers to exit within 5 minutes after picking up their luggage; The clearance time for 300 inbound flights has been shortened from 1 hour to 30 minutes; Build the "Xi'an Port Smart Logistics Supervision System" to enable two-way interaction and verification between the customs and enterprise ends, realizing online processing of more than 10 customs supervision businesses such as express, transit, and transfer, and reducing the business processing time for enterprises from 4 hours to "seconds".
Shaanxi ports have greater cost advantages. The time cost continues to decrease, and Xi'an Customs has implemented policies such as bonded aviation fuel and fifth freedom rights at the aviation port, implementing "apron direct lifting and loading"; Implementing "zone port integration" supervision at railway ports effectively shortens the time for short haul and handling of goods, allowing enterprises to experience efficient point-to-point transportation of goods from airplanes and trains to workshops and factories. The economic cost continues to decrease, and Xi'an Customs has launched the "China Europe freight deduction for domestic freight enterprises" measure. By 2025, a total of 407 enterprises will deduct 13.095 million yuan of domestic freight from their dutiable value, saving 1.061 million yuan in corporate taxes.
