The implementation of the "air side direct transfer" cargo supervision model in Weihai

Recently, an international flight carrying over 800 kilograms of Korean fashion clothing landed smoothly at Weihai International Airport. Unlike before, the batch of goods was transferred directly to the domestic area through the "airside transfer" mode under the supervision of Weihai Customs, which is under the jurisdiction of Qingdao Customs. They were then transferred to Shenyang, Liaoning on a domestic flight. This marks the official landing of Weihai Airport's "air to air direct transfer" air to air intermodal transportation business.

It is understood that under the traditional customs supervision mode, international air freight must be transferred to a designated airport cargo terminal after arriving at the airport, and can only be picked up after completing the relevant import procedures, which involves multiple operational steps and takes a long time.

In the "airside direct transfer" mode, enterprises can apply to customs in advance, and the goods will be directly stored in the airside operation area of the apron after arrival. After customs clearance, domestic and international cross flight transfer will be completed through a dedicated channel, thus achieving seamless connection of the entire chain of declaration, arrival, unloading, dismantling, distribution, and delivery, effectively reducing port clearance time and enterprise logistics costs.

The streamlined customs clearance process not only reduces our economic costs, but also helps us seize the opportunity to win customers, especially for goods with strong timeliness such as fashion clothing and aquatic products. Every minute is crucial, "said Wang Jie, Deputy General Manager of Weihai International Airport Aviation Service Co., Ltd. The new model has successfully cracked the efficiency bottleneck of" secondary loading and unloading, repeated warehousing "in the traditional model, not only saving transportation operation time for enterprises, but also allowing them to choose flight connection plans more flexibly, further weaving the Weihai Airport route transportation network.

Through innovative regulatory models, we have achieved an upgrade in regulatory efficiency, "said Gao Chao, the head of the Inspection Department of Weihai Customs stationed at the airport. While ensuring safety and compliance, the customs integrates intelligent cargo handling, automatic triggering of electronic arrival and other functions, adopts the" air land supervision and synchronous disposal "mode, improves customs clearance efficiency, and provides better customs clearance services for enterprises.
