(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Yiwu's cross-border export parcels increased by 867.2% year-on-year in April
China News Service, Yiwu, May 8 (Reporter Xi Jinyan Correspondent Wu Fengyu) The reporter learned on the 8th that in April, Yiwu's cross-border export parcels reached 1.473 million votes, an increase of 867.2% year-on-year. In the context of global cooperation in the fight against epidemics, the "Yixinou" China-Europe train has played the role of a new artery of international transportation. More and more cross-border e-commerce companies have chosen this train to transport medical supplies and daily necessities. The proportion of transported cross-border parcels reached 68.6%.
In the past few days, Yiwu Kaijiang E-Commerce Co., Ltd. has received many orders on the network platform, and the company's main customized jewelry has a wide consumer group in Europe. Affected by the epidemic, global transportation channels have been affected to a certain extent, and companies are facing shipping problems.
"At present, many international flights are out of service, the number of aviation positions has been reduced, and the shipping time limit cannot be guaranteed. If our goods are not dispatched in time, it will affect customers and the company." Yiwu Kaijiang E-Commerce Co., Ltd. Manager Wang Cong said that the current export demand for goods is urgent, and learned that the "Yi Xinou" China-Europe train is relatively stable, so he changed the channel and transported goods through the train. "Not only is the time limit guaranteed, but the price is 50% discounted by air."

More than Yiwu, due to the decrease in international freight flights and increased transportation pressure, many cross-border e-commerce sellers in Hangzhou, Shanghai and other regions chose to transfer part of the goods to Yiwu and send them to Europe through the "Yixinou" China-Europe train.
"In the past, there were only 10,000 to 20,000 votes per day on average. During the epidemic, the volume of export parcels rose by leaps and bounds, which basically remained above 50,000 votes per day," said Song Jiansheng, a staff member of the Yiwu Customs Mail Supervision Section.
Fang Xudong, deputy general manager of Yixinou Trade Service Group, said that the epidemic has caused many logistics chains to be interrupted. At this time, the advantages of rail freight are more prominent. The risk of personnel infection is a reliable logistics guarantee. "(End)
