Swift Customs Clearance System Launched for Freight Trains in Henan

“铁路进出境快速通关”模式在河南全面落地推行

 

On the evening of November 4, fully loaded with 50 containers of goods, a China-Europe freight train from Zhengzhou city of Central China's Henan province exited China through Alataw Pass in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and headed for Liege, Belgium and Munich, Germany, becoming Henan's first China-Europe freight train with its customs clearance handled through a new system.

11月4日晚间,一趟自河南郑州始发、满载50个标准集装箱商品的中欧班列(郑州)从阿拉山口口岸顺利出境,开往比利时列日、德国慕尼黑。这是河南首列通过“铁路快通”模式出境的中欧班列。

The new system requires the person in charge of inbound and outbound railway trains to transmit the electronic railway manifest data to the customs department in advance. The customs officers will review and write off the data in accordance with the regulations. Railway operating enterprises no longer need to go through customs formalities upon arrival at the border.

“铁路快通”模式是指企业可根据自身需要申请开展铁路快通业务,并由铁路部门按照规定提前向海关传输铁路舱单电子数据,海关通过对铁路舱单电子数据进行审核、放行、核销,实现对铁路列车所载进出口货物转关运输监管,列车到达口岸后无需查验和转关核销即可直接编组发车出境。

 

Such a new system has greatly reduced the waiting time of the freight trains at the border by several hours through the simplified customs clearance system, thus improving the customers' time efficiency and lowering their labor cost, said Huo Xiaohua from Zhengzhou International Hub Development and Construction Co., Ltd.

郑州国际陆港开发建设有限公司部门负责人霍晓华说,“铁路快通”模式减少了转关电子数据申报环节,减少了企业业务流程,同时大大压缩了班列在口岸的等待时长,转关手续办理时间就能节约数个小时,为企业节省了时间和人力成本。

 

According to Ye Shengxin, deputy director of Zhengzhou Railway Station Customs, it indicates that the model of swift customs clearance for freight trains approved by the General Administration of Customs has been officially launched in Henan, providing a new breakthrough for improving efficiency while lowering cost.
