Beijing, November 11 (Xinhua) — At 12:00 a.m. Monday Beijing time, a mini-program was officially launched on the Chinese mobile messaging app WeChat. This program allows Chinese drivers to apply in advance to reserve a spot for customs inspection at Kazakhstani border crossings when leaving the country by car. This was announced in a statement posted on the WeChat account of the Chinese Ministry of Transport.
The statement states that this system allocates separate quotas for Chinese drivers to register in queues at Kazakhstan's border crossings. A bilingual interface in Chinese and Russian makes it easier to use, eliminating language barriers and other inconveniences associated with Chinese drivers using Kazakhstan's electronic queuing system, and also addresses the high costs of agency services.
The new system's algorithm is simple: a Chinese driver registers for the mini-program and logs in to enter personal information, as well as vehicle and insurance policy information. They then select the intended date and name of the Kazakhstani border crossing for exiting China. After the back office verifies the information registered on the server, the driver makes an online payment of $8 and makes a deposit of $160 according to the instructions, thus completing the vehicle clearance process. Upon successful customs clearance within the specified timeframe, the deposit is returned to the driver as per the standard procedure.
The first time, it will take about 3 minutes to fill in all the information and data, and in subsequent times, filling out the corresponding page will take less than 1 minute.
The statement said that as an important measure to deepen cooperation in international road transport between China and Kazakhstan, the launch of the mini-program is designed to improve the efficiency of international road transport corridors between the two countries, reduce logistics costs for enterprises, and promote bilateral trade and economic cooperation.
Both parties are prepared to continue collaborating on the ongoing optimization of the mini-program's functions, taking into account feedback and suggestions from driver users. Furthermore, the parties also intend to accelerate the integration of the Chinese and Kazakh electronic licensing systems to promote stronger connectivity between the two countries and help them establish closer trade and economic ties, the statement stated.
