The first pilot project for optimizing the inspection and supervision mode of imported recycled aluminum raw materials through river sea intermodal transportation in China has been launched in Chongqing

On February 9th, a batch of 103.5 tons of imported recycled aluminum raw materials arrived at the customs supervision site of Yongchuan Port in Chongqing, marking the successful implementation of the first pilot project for optimizing the inspection and supervision mode of imported recycled aluminum raw materials through river sea intermodal transportation in Chongqing.

It is reported that this batch of imported recycled aluminum raw materials was purchased by Chongqing Xinge Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd., entered through Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port, processed customs clearance procedures at the port, and then transported directly to Yongchuan Port in Chongqing by original container water transportation. After being supervised and released by Yongchuan Customs under Chongqing Customs, they were directly put into the enterprise production line.

To ensure the implementation of the pilot program, Chongqing Customs and Shanghai Customs have closely cooperated to establish a cross customs linkage mechanism, embed regulatory information into the logistics chain to form a closed loop, and achieve seamless connection between the arrival, inspection, and release processes of goods.

Compared with the traditional model, the new model realizes the direct delivery of imported recycled aluminum raw materials in original boxes to the destination for inspection. Enterprises can complete customs declaration and clearance procedures at their doorstep, reducing the storage and unpacking processes at the port. On average, each container can save enterprises 12000 yuan in costs. The person in charge of Chongqing Xinge Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. stated that this model makes raw material imports more convenient and cost-effective. It not only effectively solves the production capacity bottleneck of enterprises, but also provides downstream related enterprises such as automotive, electronics, and equipment manufacturing with more cost-effective and competitive supporting products.
