Trendy news: Zhejiang goods go to Zhejiang Port, nearly 60% of Yiwu goods are exported from Ningbo Port

Recently, a batch of daily necessities from Yiwu were being packed in an orderly manner in the Ningbo Baichuan Port Tong consolidation supervision warehouse. This batch of goods will be shipped to Peru by liner, and all customs declaration, inspection, release and other clearance procedures have been completed. After the packing is completed and enters the port, it can be directly loaded onto the ship for shipment. The entire process is closely connected and has a clear rhythm.
Our company's goods were originally considered to go through Shanghai, but now they are basically fixed to go through Ningbo, "said Cao Xiaojian, General Manager of Zhejiang Longshang Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd." The changes in the past two years have been quite obvious. The connection from Yiwu to the port is smoother, and the inspection, packing, and shipping schedule are more reliable. Overall, it is more time-saving and worry free. The flow of a single shipment often reflects the attractiveness of a channel. As an important link connecting Yiwu, known as the "World Capital of Small Commodities," with Ningbo Zhoushan Port, the Yiwu Ningbo Zhoushan Grand Passage is becoming a preferred choice for more and more foreign trade enterprises.
According to customs data statistics, in the first quarter of this year, Yiwu's foreign trade export volume was 178.61 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.3%. The export from Ningbo Port was 104.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%. Nearly 60% of Yiwu's goods were exported from Ningbo Port, continuing the trend of continuous improvement in recent years. From the perspective of product structure, export categories are undergoing changes.
In the past, traditional small commodities were the mainstay, but now the proportion of higher value-added and more diverse product categories such as household goods, hardware tools, and cultural and sports supplies is constantly increasing; From the perspective of destinations, while stabilizing traditional markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia, the proportion of emerging markets such as South America, Africa, and the Middle East is gradually increasing, and the trade network is becoming more diverse. In recent years, Ningbo Customs has been continuously promoting institutional innovation and process optimization around the direction of "Zhejiang goods go to Zhejiang port", which has continuously accelerated, improved efficiency, and enhanced quality of this channel.
Firstly, it is' faster '. In response to the characteristics of "multiple batches and small batches" of small commodities in Yiwu, Ningbo Customs has pioneered the "inspection before shipment" supervision mode, moving the inspection process forward to the consolidation stage. The goods enter the "consolidation warehouse" at the port in bulk form, and after inspection, they are flexibly packed and shipped according to the shipping schedule, which not only reduces repeated disassembly and assembly, but also allows enterprises to face shipping schedules more calmly. Previously, I was most afraid of rushing the shipping schedule, but now that the inspection is completed ahead of schedule, the pace will be easier to control, "said Chen Chaohui, Deputy General Manager of Zhejiang Huaxin International Logistics Co., Ltd. In the first quarter of this year, Ningbo Customs released more than 20 billion yuan worth of consolidated cargo under the "inspection before shipment" supervision mode, continuing to lead the country.
Next is' smoother '. Ningbo Customs relies on intelligent locks and full tracking technology to keep the goods in a monitored state from the moment they are shipped from Yiwu. After arrival at the port, the container trucks can quickly pass through the intelligent sealing channel, and the system automatically recognizes and releases them, achieving 24-hour "inspection upon arrival and release upon inspection". A truck driver who has been commuting between Yiwu and Ningbo for a long time intuitively felt the change: "In the past, queuing during peak hours was the norm, but now the road is basically smooth and the time is more controllable
Furthermore, it is' wider '. Ningbo Customs has deeply integrated into the construction of the "Zhejiang E-Port Connect", further moving its regulatory services to Yiwu International Land Port, breaking the geographical limitations of inland ports, promoting the integration of customs declaration, inspection, and loading in the local area, strengthening the integrated guarantee of sea rail intermodal transportation, and incorporating railway stations into the sea customs supervision area. Together with ports, railways, and other units, the operation process has been optimized, and the model of "Yiwu departure, port station direct connection, and one-time completion" has gradually matured; At the same time, the development of new formats such as cross-border e-commerce and small packages, as well as new paths such as mail and sea freight, has also provided stable overseas channels for more fragmented orders.
In the past, exports had to go through multiple links, but now Yiwu handles them on site. The sea rail intermodal trains are stable and efficient, and the goods go abroad quickly and worry free, "said Zhang Bin, the business manager of Zhejiang Boyuan Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. The overall customs clearance time can be reduced by 2 to 3 days. In the first quarter of this year, the sea rail intermodal trains from Yiwu to Ningbo Zhoushan Port shipped a total of 76000 TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 115.6%. More and more goods are gathering at the port as a result.
From the departure of a single shipment to the development of a channel, 'Zhejiang goods go to Zhejiang Port' is no longer just a directional guidance, but gradually becomes a spontaneous choice of market entities.
The acceleration of Yiwu goods gathering in Ningbo is essentially the result of the combined effects of channel efficiency, regulatory efficiency, and comprehensive service capabilities, "said Wang Yu, Deputy Director of the Ningbo Customs Supervision Department
