Harbin Airport saw a double increase in passenger and freight volume at the port last year
In 2025, Harbin Taiping Airport Customs supervised 5474 inbound and outbound flights, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%; Supervise 628000 inbound and outbound personnel, a year-on-year increase of 20.5%; The regulated freight volume was 29900 tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.63 times, achieving "double growth and double breakthrough" in passenger and freight transportation, injecting strong momentum into the construction of a new highland for opening up to the north.
In order to address the core pain points of cross-border trade and ensure the efficient operation of freight charter flights, Harbin Taiping Airport Customs has provided advance explanations of customs clearance procedures and related policies to enterprises, implemented "one-on-one" precise assistance, and proactively coordinated with venue operators, customs clearance agents, aircraft agents, and transportation service companies to understand the main characteristics of freight charter flights in advance, and to grasp real-time information on goods and flights. At the same time, Harbin Taiping Airport Customs implements a "7 × 24 hour" scheduled customs clearance and online docking, providing policy interpretation, data modification, and system operation for enterprises in a timely manner, issuing cargo inspection notices in a timely manner, and reasonably allocating personnel on duty to ensure that exported goods are "inspected and released as soon as they arrive", ensuring that cargo charter flights depart on time, greatly reducing customs clearance time, and reducing operating costs for enterprises.
With the continuous rise of tourists from Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam visiting Harbin for ice and snow tourism, the ice and snow tourism boom has driven the opening of tourist charter flights one after another. With the active promotion of the customs at Harbin Taiping Airport, this year's ice and snow season has successfully helped two Southeast Asian routes, Harbin Ho Chi Minh City and Harbin Jilongpo, to open for the first time, ensuring that the domestic segments of four international flights, including Harbin Shenzhen Singapore and Harbin Pudong Phnom Penh, will operate with zero delay, further improving Harbin's route network to 10 countries and regions including Russia, Japan, and South Korea.
Harbin Taiping Airport Customs has upgraded the T1 terminal entry supervision area inspection channel to three integrated intelligent inspection channels, integrating nine processes such as temperature detection and baggage inspection. Regular equipment inspections and system optimization are carried out, and the single person clearance time is compressed to 10 seconds. A single channel can accommodate 300 people per hour, reducing the overall clearance time by more than 35%, while taking into account port safety and traffic efficiency.
At the same time, Harbin Taiping Airport Customs is promoting the "one machine, dual screens, one inspection" policy for customs and security checks, and outbound passengers are only required to pay for their luggage and undergo one inspection, in conjunction with border inspections to create a seamless customs clearance experience. Add multilingual guidance on the business site, set up passenger coordination posts and green channels for special groups, quickly respond to passenger demands, and continuously improve service quality.
