Private Express To Enter The International Market, Zhejiang Express Express Clearance Increased By 3 Times.

At 00:30 a.m. on November 10th, a Hongkong aircraft Roaring and falling, three rolling door doors to the apron, "slowly", a large and small paper box consisting of more than 10 tons express, transported by a trailer. Rolling shutter The door went through.

The express was still in Hongkong a few hours ago, and the receiver could receive it the next morning after passing through Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport at the end of the morning.

"This is the Hongkong charter flight opened by SF express at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport. In order to make the express faster and safer customs clearance, the arrival of the flight at midnight every day is our busiest time." Xiaoshan, Hangzhou Airport Yang Jie, chief of Customs Express Department, said.

At 11 in the evening, it is usually the time for people to fall asleep, but for Yang Jie, they have no concept of "sunset and interest". At this time, the brightly lit warehouse, the courier company's staff are busy rush to unload cargo, ready for customs clearance, the receiver is running around and running around, even there is no space for the last sentence.

At this point, Yang Jie and other customs officers play the role of filters and gatekeepers, blocking illegal and illegal express.

Yang Jie recalled, "a year and a half ago, there was no charter flight in the middle of the night, and it could rest at 6 in the morning." All these changes stem from the rapid expansion of domestic express companies' overseas businesses.

Customs officers should work continuously for 30 hours.

Time returned to 7 years ago. In 2004, the customs office of the Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport set up a "Express Department". "Express business is developing rapidly and customs clearance work is doubled. It is necessary to set up departments to provide services." In just a few years, the Express Department, which only had 4 customs officers, has now expanded to 23.

"Even so, it is still difficult to cope with fast-growing business." Yang Jie said. It is understood that business Express accounts for a significant increase, including export samples, business documents and so on.

In 2009, the number of express customs clearance at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport was about 800 thousand, which reached an astonishing more than 2 million 990 thousand in 2010. This year, there were more than 2 million 800 thousand items from 1 to October this year. "The average annual growth rate of 20%, the workload of customs officers continues to increase."

"Take a Shun Feng express company, a day's entry and exit express invoice is 45 kilograms." Yang Jie pointed to a box of customs declarations full of express information.

With the continuous growth of international express business, from last March, the same customs supervisor had to work for nearly 30 hours, with only a few hours to rest. For ordinary people, this is a hard job.

According to the law, all the inbound and outbound express must be subject to customs supervision. Express companies need to send the express declaration information to the customs through the express customs clearance system in advance. The customs will check in advance before the arrival of the express, and carry out inspection, release, taxation, detention and other operations after the actual arrival of the express. The customs officers responsible for the examination of the documents screened out the customs declaration data for suspected infringement of intellectual property rights and the risk of smuggling. During the operation, the supervision officers of the on-site inspection room were responsible for physical inspection and opened the case for inspection if necessary.

"Express industry is one of China's emerging industries and one of the fastest growing industries. Since the beginning of the new century, the market growth rate has been maintained at over 30%. At present Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport's international express volume ranks fifth in the National Airport. Yang Jie told reporters.

It must be managed and communicated quickly.

Late night Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport customs express clearance, brightly lit.

At 0 in the morning, the reporter was checking the room, and two supervisory officers were staring at the screen to find any traces of violation. "Machine test images must be carefully distinguished." Liu Xiang and Liu Yang are the same supervising officers and skilled partners. Liu Xiang said that he was very used to this kind of work intensity. He worked from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the next day, and rested for two days before entering another round of work.

00:30, the Hongkong charter plane landed. Liu Yang and Liu Xiang ushered in the busiest time in the evening. Every item was passed on the conveyor belt of the on-line inspection equipment. Their job was to judge whether there were any irregularities in the box by virtue of years of experience and expertise. "This will take two hours, and there will be about more than 10 tons of cargo in a charter plane."

At the other end of the Express office, the only female officer Liang Danzheng and colleague Qiu Jian checked the upcoming express information before the computer. "According to experience, if we want to check out whether there is a risk of infringement of intellectual property rights, such as this single toy, I will give it a check and check the customs officer at the customs clearance site." Liang Dan pointed to a single declaration information, said this work specially tests the eyesight and the experience.

It is a difficult task for an ordinary person to check the data of a customs officer on a daily basis of 4000 - 5000 customs declarations. If a piece of data looks at 10 seconds, it will take nearly 12 hours to check it without interruption. "We need to see eye to eye and make quick judgments from the categories, amounts and information of enterprises." Qiu Jian told reporters that because of staring at the computer screen for a long time, many check officers had mild conjunctivitis.

At 2:30 in the morning, after the clearance of the charter flight from Hongkong, there were three hours of empty space to rest.

At 6 in the morning, a new round of peak arrived, from the China Post postal mail and other express companies such as TNT express export to the pass.

In the dense customs declaration information, each item must be checked carefully, and if there is suspicion, it must be opened for inspection.

"Please open this." Liu Yang pointed to a package of TNT company. The freight forwarders' quick dismantling is a box of decorative cloth with metal fittings. After careful examination, Liu Yang told reporters that there was no problem.

In another cargo delivered by another freight forwarding company, Liu Yang signaled to open two or three boxes of them for inspection. "Mainly depends on whether they have infringed on intellectual property rights. If a domestic production of ordinary leather bags, printed on top of LV and other well-known brand names, can not submit authorization, which is infringement, is to be detained." Yang Jie said.

After unpacking, the reporter saw a whole box of women's trousers and a box of children's clothing. Liu Yang's first reaction was to look at the trademark and wash the label. After careful examination, Liu Yang signaled to release.

"How to manage and get through quickly is a goal and job requirement we have been seeking for breakthroughs." Yang Jie introduced that in order to serve the fast increasing express customs clearance more efficiently, they tried to classify the express goods after customs clearance, and quickly released the low-risk items, and focused on high-risk items. {page_break}

Analysis

International giants quit, private couriers occupy the market

"The express industry is essentially different from the traditional postal industry. The express industry is mainly based on physical delivery, and the traditional postal industry is mainly based on information transmission. The express industry is more inclined to modern logistics in essence, which originates from market competition and personalized demand. Domestic express companies are developing rapidly, but the expansion of overseas businesses is still far from enough. Yang Jie introduced.

Overseas express business is the most intensive business of capital, technology and knowledge, so it is also the most profitable business. It is regarded as a high-end business. International courier service providers must have sufficient capacity for air and ground transportation, hub and delivery networks, and advanced information tracking and control technologies. Due to the high entry threshold of foreign businesses, the business has been covered by four major international express companies such as DHL and TNT.

"At the beginning of 2009, DHL was withdrawn from Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport due to the financial crisis." Yang Jie said that this is an opportunity, and the bad situation of the international express market, which takes the main share of foreign express companies, is changing quietly.

So far, a total of 13 express enterprises have been imported and exported through the Hangzhou customs. Among them, domestic private enterprises are the main force of increment.

Last March, SF EXPRESS took the DHL special library and put in advanced online inspection equipment. "At present, SF EXPRESS's overseas express business accounts for 73% of all inbound and outbound express."

"Since 1993, we have 120 thousand employees. In August, the airport opened a charter business in Taiwan, China, from Taiwan to Hangzhou express, the recipient will receive it in less than 24 hours. SF EXPRESS's on-site official told reporters that due to the rapid expansion of customs, customs clearance at the Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport increased rapidly, and Hangzhou customs also provided inspection posts for SF's exclusive passageway. Next, the company is preparing to open international express business in South Korea and other neighboring countries.

Hi-tech enterprises run faster

It is understood that with the rapid development of the domestic economy, customs supervision concepts and methods have also been adjusted from attaching importance to logistics, attaching importance to the scene, attaching importance to enterprises and attaching importance to services. Customs officers of the Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport customs control department said that the duties of customs supervision should not only depend on the goods, but also on the real and the fake. They should not control the goods but also the enterprises.

"Consider the different needs of different enterprises. For example, large enterprises and hi-tech enterprises, because most of them implement "zero inventory" management, their import and export parts and high-tech export products have relatively high requirements on customs clearance time. The customs accordingly launches classification and customs clearance measures to speed up their customs clearance efficiency to meet the development needs of high-tech enterprises. Since the customs clearance of goods was carried out by the Hangzhou customs, the customs clearance of the original cargo will take 10 minutes. After classification, 95% of the low-risk goods can be released quickly within 2 seconds. For the export-oriented economy in Zhejiang, this is undoubtedly a booster behind the scenes.

What should we do if the express is confiscated by the customs?

First, if you want to contact the Customs on the spot due to problems with customs clearance, please confirm whether your express is mail or express, because the two are usually inspected by different on-site Customs personnel. Secondly, please confirm the express customs port to the express company, because the express company chooses the customs port according to its own network settings, and Hangzhou express is very common in Shanghai and Beijing customs clearance.

Two, please try to choose a company with good credit and good customer service to undertake your express mail, which will help you understand the actual situation of the express.

Three, if the courier company tells you that the express is confiscated by the customs, please ask the Customs for the relevant certificate issued by the customs. If the courier company is unable to provide it, please send it to the customs through 12360 hotline, Hangzhou customs portal website and so on. The Customs has promised that no express documents will be confiscated without any legal procedures and documents.
