The volume of China Europe freight trains operating at the Tongjiang Railway Port nearly doubled in the first quarter

In recent days, accompanied by the loud and long whistle sound, a series of China Europe freight trains loaded with goods slowly departed from the Tongjiang Railway Port, crossed the river and bridge, and headed straight for the Siberian Railway in Russia, then reached Europe. According to statistics from Tongjiang Customs, a subsidiary of Harbin Customs, in the first quarter of this year, the customs supervised 73 trains and 8022 TEUs of China Europe freight trains entering and exiting through Tongjiang Railway Port, with year-on-year growth of 97.3% and 147% respectively, achieving a "good start".  
In response to the characteristics of the China Europe freight train carrying a wide range of goods, diverse sources, and fast pace, Tongjiang Customs actively meets the needs of enterprises and guides them to declare in a standardized manner through "one-on-one" policy interpretation and dedicated guidance throughout the entire process; Deepen facilitation measures such as "appointment customs clearance+manifest consolidation" to achieve "immediate inspection and release of goods upon arrival".  
We actively promote the 'Railway Express' model, where enterprises can handle procedures such as merging, splitting, and changing cargo manifests at the local customs nearby, without the need to declare and handle transfer, verification, and other procedures at the port customs. The clearance time is shortened by 1 to 2 days, "said the person in charge of the Logistics Monitoring Department of Tongjiang Customs stationed at the Railway Port Office.  
Technological empowerment also provides effective support for speeding up customs clearance.

Now the customs clearance for shipments and purchases is faster, saving logistics time, and our company's operating costs have also been reduced, "said Jie Haijiang, the business manager of Tongjiang Office of China International Shipping Northeast Co., Ltd. Suifenhe Branch.
