The railway rail intermodal transportation refers to the inspection and quarantine mode at the destination, which helps Southeast Asian fruits to quickly clear customs and arrive directly from Laos to Chongqing in one box

Recently, an old train carrying imported bananas arrived at Chongqing Guoyuan Port Railway Freight Station on the Western Land Sea New Corridor. This is the first batch of bananas imported using the iron rail intermodal original box method, marking a further increase in the variety of fruits that have been directly transported to Chongqing Guoyuan Port for inspection and quarantine after importing Thai coconut green in the original box through the Western Land Sea New Channel.

The bananas imported this time are from Laos, with a net weight of 85.5 tons. They were organized and purchased by Chongqing Intermodal Transport Development Co., Ltd. of the Land Sea New Channel. They were sent from Vientiane, Laos, and then imported through the Mohan Railway Port in Yunnan before continuing to be transported by railway to Chongqing Guoyuan Port Railway Freight Station. After being supervised and released by Chongqing Customs, the batch of bananas was immediately sent to Chongqing and surrounding fruit markets.

In recent years, consumers have had a strong demand for high-quality imported fruits from Southeast Asia. Due to their good taste, stable supply, and controllable costs, the import volume of Laotian bananas has been increasing year by year, "said the person in charge of Chongqing Intermodal Transport Development Co., Ltd. of the Land Sea New Channel." The inspection and quarantine mode of rail rail intermodal transport has realized the import of cold chain original boxes. Compared with the traditional port clearance and then transported to the mainland by car, the transportation is smoother, the temperature control throughout the process can be traced, and the data can be monitored, further reducing the material damage caused by the reshipment process, ensuring the quality of bananas, and saving about 16% in overall logistics costs such as loading and unloading. At the same time, the import clearance process has been extended from the border to the inland hub, effectively reducing clearance costs and allowing the people to enjoy more favorable prices and better quality.

After the launch of the pilot program for inspection and quarantine of imported fruits in the Western Land Sea New Corridor, Chongqing Customs, Kunming Customs, and Chongqing Municipal Government Port Logistics Office have established an efficient linkage mechanism and formed a special service team to strengthen guidance in policy interpretation, confirmation of overseas enterprises, and application for quarantine permits. At the same time, electronic container locks are used to monitor logistics dynamics in real time, and after the goods arrive at the designated supervision site for imported fruits at Chongqing Guoyuan Port, the focus is on checking whether they carry quarantine harmful organisms such as fruit flies and scale insects.

The relevant person in charge of the Animal and Plant Quarantine Office of Chongqing Customs said that the customs will promote more enterprises to make full use of policies, expand the import of high-quality agricultural products, and enrich people's "fruit plates" and "vegetable baskets".
