Hangzhou, September 6 /Xinhua/ — A truck loaded with more than 60,000 retail export mail items under the cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) program recently set off from Hangzhou city, Zhejiang Province (East China), to the Russian city of Kazan. This is the ninth batch of cross-border postal shipments to Russia sent since the introduction of the “separate declaration” regime for exports under the 9610 CBEC scheme in Hangzhou.
According to the Hangzhou branch of the China Post Corporation, since the launch of the corresponding mode in August of this year, more than 600,000 TEC postal items have been sent to Russia in total. The overall delivery time to Russia has been reduced by 6-9 days compared to the previous operating format. With the transition to stable mass sending, the new scheme has entered the stage of regular operation.
Export under the 9610 TEC scheme is mainly used for retail deliveries of goods from enterprises to private consumers abroad. Previously, many small and micro enterprises in the sector used the “general declaration” cargo mode, which required them to accumulate a certain volume of orders in advance for customs clearance, inspection, and subsequent shipment.
“Previously, scattered retail orders could only be declared and cleared through customs after accumulating a sufficient quantity, which made the shipping cycle quite long, and the pressure on inventory turnover and refunds was quite significant,” said Tao, a responsible representative of the local scientific and technical company “Iyan,” which recently shipped a batch of 249 parcels with decorative flowers abroad.
“Now, using the ‘separate declarations’ mode, it is possible to declare even individual postal shipments. After the postal service picks up the cargo from the warehouse, the dispatch is usually completed within three days. This has significantly increased the efficiency of fulfilling our obligations to customers,” she added.
The aforementioned department noted that the ‘separate declarations’ regime is better adapted to the peculiarities of the fuel and energy complex: small orders, fragmentation, and high frequency of shipments. Thanks to the preliminary acceptance of goods from senders, centralized processing, data declaration, and interaction with customs, all stages of handling export postal shipments – acceptance, declaration, inspection, packaging – now proceed much more smoothly.
