After New Year's Day, the festive atmosphere gradually becomes stronger. With various platforms launching various New Year's promotion activities, cross-border e-commerce imports have ushered in a new round of peak.

At the Yantai International Land Port Express Supervision Center, the parcel sorting line operates at high speed, with vehicles loaded with imported cross-border e-commerce parcels coming in and out. The annual stocking and replenishment pace is tight and orderly.

With the opening of the 'New Year's Goods Festival' on various platforms, import orders for New Year's goods are relatively concentrated, mainly focusing on beauty, winter warm clothing, and leisure food, "said Gao Haipeng, the on-site person in charge of Yantai International Express Co., Ltd." The New Year's Festival is the 'golden period' of cross-border business and the sprint stage of logistics fulfillment. Customs clearance speed is the lifeline

In the face of the surging wave of New Year's goods packages, Yantai Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, adheres to the work concept of "supervision on site and service on the front line", continuously optimizes services around the key links of actual goods supervision, relies on auxiliary inspection systems and machine inspection equipment, and adopts the "machine inspection screening+key inspection" mode for popular categories of New Year goods, achieving accurate identification and rapid disposal of high-risk packages, and "immediate inspection and release, quick inspection and fast pass" for low-risk packages.

Considering the heavy delivery tasks and unpredictable arrival times of enterprises, we dynamically analyze the flow of goods and flexibly allocate manpower to ensure that regulatory services are available 24/7 and uninterrupted, "said Zhang Han, head of the Express Supervision Department at the Yantai Customs Post Office." We are guided by the needs of enterprises, and while maintaining the safety bottom line, we promote the 'fast in and fast out' of packages through precise supervision and efficient services to meet consumers' holiday procurement needs

According to statistics, since New Year's Day, Yantai Customs has inspected and released 34000 cross-border e-commerce imported packages, with a steady increase in quantity. Next, the customs will continue to optimize the import supervision service model, support the smooth operation of cross-border e-commerce business, and help consumers enjoy a more convenient and reassuring cross-border shopping experience.
