The overall speed-up of cross-border logistics is not only an intuitive achievement of continuous iterative improvement of domestic sea infrastructure, but also a concentrated expression of deepening institutional innovation in core links such as customs clearance, international transit and reverse logistics.
In recent years, China has continuously increased the construction of cross-border logistics system, which has completely broken the pain points of the previous industries, such as cumbersome logistics links, low transit efficiency and limited return and exchange procedures. From hardware infrastructure upgrading to software system optimization, it has reshaped the new logistics pattern of domestic products going to sea in all directions. All kinds of modern logistics infrastructure have been laid out continuously, and a cross-border logistics network covering the whole world has been built, which has greatly improved the overall performance efficiency of goods storage, transportation and return.
At the same time, a series of innovative policies, such as nationwide handling of cross-border customs returns, facilitation of foreign exchange receipts and payments, and minimal review of customs clearance, have been fully implemented, which has opened up the whole link blocking points of logistics and transportation, customs inspection and fund settlement, simplified the cross-border trade flow, and turned cross-border logistics from “cumbersome and unstable” to “efficient and stable, and controllable at low cost”.
With the continuous deepening of the construction of China’s international logistics channel, diversified logistics modes such as air freight, China-Europe trains, international road transport and maritime trunk lines no longer operate independently, but form a three-dimensional logistics system with efficient coordination and complementary linkage. All kinds of transport channels have their own functions and complementary advantages. Air transport ensures the transport of high-quality goods with high timeliness. China-Europe trains stably undertake large-scale cross-border goods to the sea, and the sea trunk line carries large-scale foreign trade orders, which fully adapts to the shipment needs of different categories and different scenarios of cross-border e-commerce. The deep integration of multiple logistics modes has effectively cracked the limitation of timeliness and capacity of single logistics mode, greatly improved the flexibility, stability and carrying capacity of cross-border logistics, continued to smooth the domestic and international trade cycle, and laid a solid logistics foundation for the efficient and smooth global trade, the large-scale internationalization of China-made and China brands, and provided stronger and lasting hard-core support.
