The eastbound China Railway Express to Europe from Germany Mannheim Harbor arrived at the Chongqing Guoyuan Port in Liangjiang New Area at 15:55, November 18, local time, after a journey of about 11,000 kilometers.
The train departed from Mannheim Harbor at 10:00 of October 25, local time. With the cargo mainly including auto parts, the train entered China from Khorgos, via Poland, Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan. After arriving at the port, imported products were distributed there.
The Chongqing Customs Port Office introduced that, in order to ensure the smooth clearance of cargo, the Office has optimized the clearance process, with the implementation of 24/7 service for appointed customs clearance and inspection upon arriving. Artificial regulation is conducted in the place where no personnel are sent to supervise the railway line.
Centered on the departure from Guoyuan Port and the realization of regular operation of the China Railway Express to Europe, Chongqing Customs will further strengthen the supervision. In addition, it will also improve on-site operation, to promote the efficiency of customs clearance, reduce the shipment and delivery cost, and provide effective guarantee for boosting local economic development.
Mannheim, the second key hub of the China Railway Express to Europe, will be turned into an important regular starting point in Germany. Thanks to the successful operation of the train, Guoyuan Port has begun the interactive development with Mannheim Harbor.
Furthermore, the economic and trade cooperation has been enhanced between the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (Liangjiang New Area) and the Upper Rhine (Mannheim). This can also facilitate the cooperation of Liangjiang New Area with Germany in the aspects of logistics, trade and intelligent manufacturing.
