Chinanews.com, Khorgos, Xinjiang, July 24 (Li Ming, Li Huihui) A reporter learned from Khorgos Customs on the 24th that from January to June this year, a total of 844,300 tons of imported iron ore products were supervised, inspected and released, a year-on-year increase of 124. %; the trade volume was 636 million yuan, an increase of 198% year-on-year.
It is reported that the imported iron ore products are mainly sold to iron and steel plants in Urumqi and Xinyuan County. After being processed into billets, steel, steel frames and other products, they will be sent to all parts of the country to further meet the domestic demand for steel production.
Since June 1, 2020, the Horgos Port has optimized the inspection and supervision model of imported iron ore products, from the previous implementation of quality inspections on a batch-by-batch basis to the implementation of inspections based on enterprise applications, and the import volume of iron ore products has further increased.
With the improvement of the level of facilitation of customs clearance, more companies choose to import iron ore products from Khorgos Port.
Imported iron ore products are mainly iron ore, iron concentrate, and pellets, all of which are originally produced in Kazakhstan.
Li Shufu, the person in charge of Xinjiang Bayi Iron and Steel International Trade Service Co., Ltd., introduced: "From January to June this year, our company imported 650,000 tons of iron ore products, with a trade volume of nearly 600 million. You can directly submit manifests and merge through the digital port system. For applications, the processing time has been shortened by nearly one hour, and the comprehensive cost per ton of iron ore products has been reduced by nearly 100 yuan."
Abdulhalik Abdulhalek, the first-level administrative law enforcement officer of the third department of Khorgos Customs Supervision, said: "We will grasp the import and inspection status of mineral products as soon as possible, and implement manifests for qualified mineral products. Consolidation guarantees that imported mineral products are'discharged as soon as they arrive, and unloaded and inspected as soon as they arrive,' which greatly saves the time for customs clearance of goods and reduces corporate costs.
