The "inspection before shipment" mode for export LCL goods has been implemented in Linyi
On December 19th, in the Linyi International Land Port LCL Supervision Warehouse, a batch of export LCL small commodities from Shandong Duoduobao Supply Chain Co., Ltd. completed loading, declaration, inspection and other procedures, and successfully cleared customs through the "inspection before shipment" supervision mode for export LCL goods.
This batch of goods includes more than 50 categories such as plastic pots, trash cans, key pendants, hair clips, ceramics, glass products, etc. They are integrated into two containers and will be sent to Malaysia. This batch of goods also marks the official implementation of the "inspection before shipment" supervision mode for export LCL goods in Linyi, Shandong.
The traditional operation mode of "packing first and then customs declaration" has always been a challenge for the export business of small and medium-sized enterprises in Linyi. Once the goods are selected for inspection, they will face multiple difficulties such as difficulty in unpacking, finding goods, and reassembling. It will also cause other goods in the same box to be forced to be stranded, which not only prolongs the customs clearance cycle and increases the manpower and material costs of the enterprise, but also poses potential risks of logistics delays and missed shipping schedules.
In recent years, Linyi's foreign trade has grown steadily, and the small ticket consolidation business of small and medium-sized enterprises has become an important driving force for foreign trade growth. Linyi Mall is also accelerating its transformation and upgrading from "buying nationwide and selling nationwide" to "buying globally and selling globally". The activity of small ticket consolidation exports continues to rise, and higher requirements are put forward for the reform of regulatory models.
The expectations of the people and the direction of the government. Linyi Customs, affiliated with Qingdao Customs, adheres to problem oriented and demand-oriented approaches, actively explores the "inspection before shipment" business for export LCL goods, collaborates with Linyi International Land Port to successfully apply for the establishment of a "inspection before shipment" dedicated consolidation warehouse, develops and launches the "Export LCL Goods Supervision Information System", optimizes the inspection process, and promotes the smooth pilot implementation of this model in Linyi International Land Port.
The principle of 'inspection before shipment' allows us to arrange goods shipment more flexibly, greatly improving operational efficiency. As the first enterprise in Linyi to try a new model, Geng Yanzhou, the relevant person in charge of the company, frankly stated that the experience is' full marks'. Under the new model, goods can undergo customs inspection and repackaging in advance at the consolidation warehouse, reducing the average time from arrival at the port to release from the export container from 2 to 3 days to 1 to 2 days.
Along with the increase in efficiency, the institutional transaction costs of enterprises have also significantly decreased. The new model effectively improves the efficiency of container operation and better meets the time demand brought by the continuous expansion of foreign markets, "said Shi Xiang, the head of the Business Development Department of Shandong Jitie Lancheng Logistics Co., Ltd.
The advantages of the new model are more prominent when dealing with unexpected situations. When encountering situations such as delayed arrival of goods at the port, customs can directly conduct inspections within the supervision area, without delaying the shipping schedule due to unloading operations, effectively avoiding the risk of logistics delays. The implementation of this model is an important measure for port supervision services to adapt to the transformation and upgrading of local foreign trade, "said Tang Wenzheng, the director of Linyi Customs. He will continue to implement measures to promote cross-border trade facilitation and promote high-quality development of foreign trade. (Zhang Tingting, Yu Lei, Qian Kun, Luo Fumao/Wen)
