The 'Silver Hair Train' is loaded with elderly friendly products and racing on the international track

Recently, a "silver haired train" loaded with elderly supplies such as wheelchairs, toilet seats, rehabilitation robots, blood pressure monitors, sleep ventilators, etc., set off from Zengcheng West Station in Guangzhou under the supervision of Huangpu Customs and is expected to arrive in Europe in 15 days.

In recent years, domestic elderly friendly products have continuously innovated in design concepts and categories, from basic tools for assisting actions to intelligent devices for sleep monitoring, and then to puzzle toys designed for the elderly. New "silver hair" products such as sleep ventilators, bath aids, cushioned insoles, and mobile assistive robots are widely popular in the international market. These diverse, intelligent, and convenient elderly friendly products are quietly integrating into various scenes of elderly people's daily lives.

Transporting these age appropriate products through the China Europe freight train has significant advantages in terms of timeliness compared to traditional sea freight, and the cost is much lower than air freight, providing our company with a more competitive logistics option for stable expansion into overseas markets, "said Li Siqiang, the head of the freight train business at Guangzhou Jiaotou International Freight Train Operation Management Co., Ltd. A stable international railway logistics channel enables enterprises in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area to respond more agilely to changes in the international market and seize the growth opportunities of the "silver economy".

To support the expansion of the international market for "silver hair" products, Zengcheng Customs has opened a dedicated export window for elderly friendly products, tailored customs clearance supervision plans for enterprises, and provided full chain tracking services from declaration, inspection to release. At the same time, Zengcheng Customs has established an efficient collaborative mechanism to proactively grasp the "silver haired train" shipping plan, and comprehensively utilized convenient measures such as appointment clearance and early declaration to achieve immediate inspection and release of goods upon arrival, effectively reducing port stay time.

According to statistics, from January to November this year, under the supervision of Zengcheng Customs, the value of various elderly friendly products such as wheelchairs, blood pressure monitors, and walking aids exported through the international train at Zengcheng West Station reached 10.5 million yuan.
