'Made in China' cars export globally
Recently, at the Qianwan Container Terminal in Qingdao Port, 30 small passenger cars from SAIC Group boarded an ocean going ship and set sail for the European market, starting a new journey of going global.
Most of the cars we export are shipped from our Zhengzhou base to the Qianwan Port area of Qingdao Port. When a large number of orders are concentrated for export, they are shipped to the port by road, which can easily delay the shipping schedule, "said Manager Yu of Shanghai Automotive International Trading Co., Ltd. As a core leading enterprise in China's automobile exports, SAIC Group owns multiple brands such as MG, Datong, Zhiji, Wuling, etc., which are exported to more than 170 countries and regions in Europe, Southeast Asia, America, etc. It has long been plagued by difficulties such as overseas logistics costs.
In response to the current export situation of vehicle enterprises, Huangdao Customs under Qingdao Customs has implemented a "land sea linkage, sea rail direct transportation" supervision model, connecting the inland and port railway intermodal lines. Through this mode, goods can complete customs clearance procedures in advance at the Zhengzhou railway port, and can be released for boarding without inspection upon arrival at the port.
Compared to traditional modes, through sea rail intermodal transportation, each box of goods can save logistics costs of about 200 yuan and save more than 24 hours of waiting time in port storage, "said Tian Xianghai, Deputy Director of the Second Comprehensive Business Department of Huangdao Customs. Combined with service measures such as" cloud consultation, "" advance declaration, "" appointment clearance, "and" automatic transfer, "it can maximize the efficiency of automobile export clearance.
The convenience measures of the customs have greatly improved our export efficiency. Since 2026, we have exported nearly 10000 cars from Qianwan Port to the European market, a year-on-year increase of over 10%, "said Manager Yu.
Song Weiyang, the export manager of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group International Co., Ltd., also has deep feelings about the measures to optimize customs supervision and facilitate the export of automobiles.
We mainly export heavy trucks to countries in Southeast Asia, Africa and other regions. Which countries can enjoy tariff preferential policies and which preferential certificates of origin can enjoy higher tax rate reductions are issues we have been concerned about, which directly affects the international market competitiveness of our products. "Song Weiyang said that as a leading enterprise in Shandong's automobile exports, the company's heavy truck exports have covered more than 150 countries and regions around the world.
In response to this, Huangdao Customs has actively extended its service reach, guided by the needs of enterprises, and continuously made efforts to guide enterprises to make full use of preferential policies such as RCEP for origin. It has launched a "one enterprise, one policy" door-to-door activity to connect the "last mile" of policy implementation. At the same time, we actively promote convenient policies such as "intelligent certification+self-service printing" for certificates of origin, ensuring that enterprises can enjoy tariff benefits without leaving their homes.
From January to April this year, the company exported 70000 heavy-duty trucks, a year-on-year increase of 57%, using a total of 73 RCEP preferential certificates of origin and reducing tariffs by about 24 million yuan. ”Song Weiyang said.
To serve enterprises going global is to serve the high-quality development of foreign trade. We will continue to deepen the precise service of 'one enterprise, one policy', optimize communication mechanisms such as' policy through train 'and' face-to-face communication between enterprises', continue to smooth the channels for going global, improve service efficiency, and help more 'Made in China' cars ride the world, "said Tian Xianghai.
According to statistics from Qingdao Customs, in the first four months of this year, the export value of automobiles at Qingdao Port was 14.484 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 43.6%. (Zhao Yingjie, Xu Yijiang/text)
