By 2025, the international transit consolidation business of Qingdao Port will grow by over 50%

Recently, a batch of equipment components such as door closers imported from South Korea arrived at Qingdao Port and underwent international transit consolidation in the consolidation warehouse of Wanjia Jiyun Logistics Co., Ltd. After reassembling with a batch of cleaning drones, plastic packaging rolls, etc., they were immediately sent to Honduras.

International transit consolidation refers to the port logistics business in which overseas goods are transported by international routes to ports, unpacked and sorted in special supervision areas, and then repackaged with local export sources according to different destination ports for export. This business can maximize container utilization, save more than one-third of logistics costs and shorten one fourth of logistics time for enterprises, and also drive the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries such as warehousing and customs declaration.

After the goods arrive at the port, they can be unpacked, stored, and arranged for shipment within 1 to 2 working days, which is 3 to 5 working days shorter than traditional transit ports. Customer satisfaction has been greatly improved, "said Wang Hui, Vice President of Wanjia Jiyun Logistics Co., Ltd. The efficient operation mode has helped the enterprise attract more global sources of goods and achieve a doubling of business scale.

In response to the explosive growth of business volume, Huangdao Customs under Qingdao Customs continues to carry out process optimization, technological empowerment, and policy support to safeguard international transit consolidation business.

We rely on the manifest logistics supervision mode, and the system automatically reviews relevant documents 24/7, achieving zero waiting time for customs clearance document review and ensuring 24-hour convenient customs clearance. At the same time, we leverage the advantages of district port linkage, allowing goods to be directly distributed from the dock to the supervision operation site without the need for secondary handling, greatly improving the efficiency of port logistics. "Liu Hongbo, Deputy Director of the Supervision Department of Huangdao Customs Port Supervision Office, introduced.

The Qingdao Comprehensive Bonded Zone is adjacent to the Qingdao Qianwan Port Area, and its convenient location advantages and preferential regional policies have also attracted enterprises such as Qingdao Wuzhou Tongda Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. and Sinotrans Warehousing and Logistics to settle in and carry out business. The clustering effect of international transit consolidation formats in the park has begun to emerge.

The combination of the 'inspection before shipment' mode launched by the customs and the transit consolidation function completely solves the problems of unloading and reloading that may be caused by the traditional mode, avoids the risk of 'container dumping' during the peak season of sea transportation, and saves us a lot of logistics costs every year, "said Shi Lin, General Manager of Qingdao Wuzhou Tongda Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.

For ports, international transit consolidation services can not only directly increase throughput, but also enhance their attraction to international routes and freight forwarding companies, helping ports transform from loading and unloading hubs to global shipping resource allocation centers.

According to statistical data, in 2025, the international transit consolidation business of Qingdao Port completed 5831 tickets and 1256 TEUs, an increase of 55.9% and 58.8% year-on-year, respectively. (Zhang Lin, Bi Wenbo/Wen)
