Since the first launch of the TIR cross-border road freight route from Zhengzhou to Moscow on February 20, it was the first time a truck with a Henan license plate finished a round trip. Besides, it was also the first time for a Chinese truck to import cargo under the TIR agreement, marking the first-time realization of a two-way TIR cross-border road freight in China.

这是自2月20日郑州至莫斯科TIR跨境公路货运线路正式开通以来，首辆从俄罗斯返程的豫A牌照货车。这也是中国牌照货车首次通过TIR模式完成货物进口，中国首次实现TIR跨境公路运输双向联通。

According to Wang Xiaofeng, deputy chief of the Logistics Monitoring Section of Xinzheng Customs, "Vehicles under the TIR agreement could provide one-stop transportation service and do not require any cargo unloading or reloading throughout the journey. Enjoying exemption from unpacking inspection as well as tax and custom deposit, cargo with correct TIR certifications and intact customs seals could go through customs directly." Besides, cargo freight under the TIR agreement, which could save 58 percent of the transportation time and lower 38 percent of the costs, is flexible in transportation and convenient in cargo loading and unloading, realizing one-stop and door-to-door cargo freight service.

“相较传统公路运输，TIR运输模式全程不倒装不卸货。通关过程中，核对TIR证信息、检查车辆海关封志无误的，不需开箱查验，免缴税金和担保金。”新郑海关物流监控科副科长王肖锋说，TIR模式下的公路运输还可以“门到门”“点对点”，具有机动灵活、装卸方便等特点，据测算最高可节省58%的运输时间和38%的运输成本。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/宋敏 孙静 编译/赵汉青 杨佳欣 审校/张军平）
