During the development process of its cross-border e-commerce industry, Jinjiang Dry Port in Fujian province, actively promoted the seamless linkage between customs declaration and logistics distribution. The new export model combining cross-border e-commerce and logistics distribution was launched in January and has been running well during its first few months.
The new export model means enterprises declare goods to customs in the same way as cross-border e-commerce, however, China Post is then able to step in and provide an immediate global delivery service after inspection.
The new export mode not only solves the declaration channel for cross-border e-commerce problems, but also effectively relieves the excess capacity of secondary industry in the city, said an official from Quanzhou Customs.
In the first quarter in 2016, the total export value of the dry port reached $5 million, up 58.2 percent compared with the previous quarter, taking top spot in the province.
Jinjiang Dry Port is an inland intermodal terminal directly connected by road and rail to a seaport and operating as a center for the shipment of sea cargo to inland destinations. There are a total of four dry ports in Fujian province; the other three are in Longyan city, Wuyishan city and Sanming city.
