Beijing, November 29 (Xinhua) — Five trucks carrying cross-border e-commerce goods, the first in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), recently departed from Urumqi. This marks the official launch of this pilot model for cross-border e-commerce goods in the XUAR.
According to the Xinjiang Daily, citing a source at the Wuchang Customs Office of the Urumqi Customs, the "inspection first, then shipment" system, compared to the traditional model, allows companies to first file a customs declaration, then load the goods onto a vehicle and ship them immediately after customs inspection. Customs inspects and verifies cargo using information technology, eliminating repetitive intermediate operations such as loading and unloading, sealing, and breaking seals. The new model will reduce customs clearance time for cross-border e-commerce shipments by approximately 30 percent.
"Our cargo primarily originates from Guangdong Province (in southern China) and is exported to Russia via the Jimunai and Baktu ports. According to preliminary estimates, the new model will save at least 1,000 yuan (approximately $141) in loading and unloading costs for each truck, thereby reducing the company's operating costs by 600,000 yuan per year and customs clearance time by an average of approximately four hours," said Jin Yan, deputy general manager of Xinyu, a Xinjiang-based cross-border e-commerce company that was the first to use this model.
Wuchang Customs promised to closely monitor the quality assessment and effectiveness of this regime, and promote its scaling and dissemination in Urumqi City, so as to create a model for the high-quality development of Xinjiang's cross-border e-commerce industry. -0-
