The rapid increase in automobile exports at Shanghai Port has broken the “convention” for many years. For many years, Shanghai Haitong International Automobile Terminal has always imported more automobiles than exported, and imported about 300,000 vehicles in 2019.
One of the grand occasions was that in February 2019, Haitong Terminal ushered in a large-scale concentration of more than 1,000 imported Tesla Model 3s to Hong Kong.
However, the marketing department of Shanghai Haitong International Automobile Terminal Co., Ltd. revealed that according to the data from January to November 2020, it is a certainty that the annual automobile exports will be flat and exceed the annual import volume.
In the face of this unprecedented situation, since June 2020, the terminal yard has made careful calculations to cope with the peak of vehicle exports by renting out peripheral sites and increasing the frequency of site merging by truck drivers.
The Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port District Customs provides "5+2 days" and "7$hours" appointment clearance services to ensure zero-delay inspection and release of automobile exports, and support companies to deliver overseas orders in time to protect foreign trade exports under the epidemic.

During the New Year's Day, Renault brand new energy vehicles produced in central China were specially exported from the Shanghai port. Prior to this, many Chinese auto brands that were originally produced in factories in Henan and Jiangxi have also switched to Shanghai Port to go overseas. According to data, from June 2020 to the present, "new customers" accounted for about 6% of the total vehicles exported from Shanghai, and the proportion of Shanghai port in the national car exports is also expected to rise from 64% at the end of 2019 to nearly 70%.
