Zhengzhou Becomes the 4th Key International Mail Hub Port in China

国家正式批复！继北上广后 郑州成为全国第四个重要国际邮件枢纽口岸

Zhengzhou, capital of Central China's Henan province, has been approved to build a hub port for international mail services, said a source from the Development and Reform Commission of Henan Province on March 16, meaning that the inbound mails to Henan and its surrounding areas can be cleared and distributed in Zhengzhou in the future. The customs clearance of inbound mails to Henan in Zhengzhou can save a lot of time and costs compared with that in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which is bound to improve the influence of Zhengzhou and the opening-up of Henan.  

3月16日，记者从河南省发展改革委获悉，郑州建设国际邮件枢纽口岸获国家批复。这意味着河南以及周边省份进境邮件可以在郑州进行清关、集散、分拨。与原来的在北上广进行清关相比，河南进境邮件将节约不少时间成本、资金成本，可以大大提高郑州的影响力和河南开放水平。

In recent years, Henan has accelerated its opening-up by developing Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone, China (Henan) Pilot Free Trade Zone and China (Zhengzhou) Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive pilot Zone, and blazed a new path of high-level opening-up and development suitable for in inland areas.

近年来，河南省加快开放步伐，相继打造郑州航空港经济综合实验区、中国（河南）自由贸易试验区、中国（郑州）跨境电子商务综合试验区等开放平台，探索出一条内陆地区高水平开放发展的新路。
