Recently, 517 mingjue cars boarded the “Wisteria elite” ro ro ship from Shanghai Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) Haitong wharf and set sail for overseas after passing the inspection of the foreign port customs under Shanghai Customs. This is the 11th batch of overseas domestic vehicles inspected by the customs of Shanghai Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) port area since 2022. The automobile export of Shanghai Port continues the rapid growth trend since last year.
Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) port is the largest automobile import and export port in China, and Haitong wharf is responsible for more than 90% of Shanghai’s automobile export. In recent years, with the popularity of domestic cars in the overseas market, the number of cars “boarding and going to sea” from Haitong wharf has risen sharply. According to statistics, since this year, more than 88000 cars have been exported from Haitong wharf across the country, a net increase of more than 33000 over the same period of the previous year, a year-on-year increase of 60%.
Behind the bright data, it is inseparable from the silent pay of the customs people. In order to help domestic vehicles to pass customs quickly and seize the international market, the customs of foreign ports strengthen communication with vehicle enterprises and Haitong wharf, understand the ship route requirements of enterprises in the whole process, and jointly allocate customs clearance service resources scientifically in advance; Coordinate and optimize the setting of operation area, increase the frequency of site consolidation, and alleviate the logistics pressure caused by the peak period. At the same time, in response to the “temporary order”, “weekend order” and “urgent order”, the foreign customs launched a 24-hour service mechanism, sent more people to work overtime in Hong Kong, and opened a green inspection channel to ensure zero delay in the customs clearance of automobile exports.
The all-weather support of the Customs has provided a guarantee for the continuous rise of automobile exports in Shanghai. According to statistics, in 2021, Shanghai exported 484000 cars, with an export volume of 57.01 billion yuan, both reaching a record high, with a year-on-year increase of 136% and 206% respectively.
“This is the last batch of domestic cars exported from the port area before the Spring Festival. As the Spring Festival is approaching, we have communicated with enterprises in advance, formulated a careful holiday export customs clearance plan, and arranged customs officers to be on duty to ensure the uninterrupted export of cars,” said Chen Jia, chief of the ninth inspection section of the foreign port customs
