At 3 pm on November 4th, a "Yi-Xin-Europe" China-Europe train loaded with new energy vehicles, electric bicycles, daily necessities and other commodities departed from Yiwu, Zhejiang, and headed for Duisburg, Germany, thousands of miles away.
Up to now, the Yiwu platform of the "Yi-Xin-Europe" China-Europe train has operated a total of 1,287 trains to and from Germany, and the number of import and export TEUs has exceeded 100,000, reaching 103,800.
Yiwu Customs supervises the "Yi-Xin-Europe" China-Europe train with a total import and export of 16.59 billion yuan to Germany, with an average annual growth rate of 64.7%.
"'Yi-Xin-Europe' China-Europe train is an economic and trade train, and it is also a 'car of hope'." Ye Sheng, head of Yiwu Hongsheng Customs Brokerage Co., Ltd., said that the China-Europe train transport is nearly shorter than the shipping mode. Half the time, many customers will take the initiative to request the China-Europe freight train to transport their goods.
In recent years, the company's business volume has maintained an increase of about 30%.
On November 18, 2014, the first "Yi-Xin-Europe" China Railway Express (Yiwu-Madrid) departed from Yiwu and passed through cities such as Hamburg and Duisburg in Germany. The destination was Madrid, the capital of Spain, the largest small commodity distribution center in Europe. , which is the international train with the longest running line and the most countries in the world.
The opening of the train has opened up the land passage for small commodities to Germany.
Relying on the supply and industrial advantages of the world's small commodity capital, the Yixinou train continues to maintain a rapid growth trend, and more and more commodities go to the world through the "steel camel caravan" of the "Yixinou" China-Europe train.
As an important stop of the "Yi-Xin-Europe" China-Europe freight train, the China-Europe freight train from Yiwu to Germany is running more and more frequently.
The number of trains to Deyi and New Europe has continued to increase, and the transported goods are also changing quietly.
From the initial export of small commodities, it has developed to the current export of solar photovoltaic panels, automobiles and spare parts, and intelligent equipment.
On October 11, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany, Yang Jinfeng, Deputy Chief of the Second Section of Yiwu Customs Supervision, and his colleague Liu Weimin completed the inspection of a new energy vehicle exported to Germany at the Yiwu Railway Port.
Afterwards, the batch of new energy vehicles will arrive in Duisburg, Germany on the "Yi-Xin-Europe" China-Europe train, which will only take 14 days.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the train, Yiwu Customs continued to promote 24-hour customs clearance and other facilitation measures, signed a memorandum of cooperation with the port customs, and promoted measures such as bundled declaration of multiple customs transit documents and paperless transmission of customs transit documents. If you declare in advance, the customs clearance time will be reduced to 10 minutes.
In order to further play the role of the logistics channel of the train, Yiwu Customs has opened up a "green channel" for the shipment of China-Europe trains, and implemented logistics models such as "sea-rail + China-Europe trains", "domestic railway freight + China-Europe trains" and other logistics modes. The export and transit goods in the delta area can be transferred to Yiwu by railway, and then transported out of the country by the China-Europe freight train, which can effectively relieve the pressure of road transport capacity.
"We will continue to promote the high-quality development of trains, so that more and more 'Made in China' will take the 'steel camel' to the world," said Zhou Huawei, chief of the second supervision department of Yiwu Customs.
