New energy vehicles from Taizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone were exported to Europe, with 3,546 vehicles shipped overseas.

China News Service, Taizhou, September 23 (Zhang Yicong, Li Jianyong) On the 22nd, 3,546 new energy vehicles made in China were loaded at the ro-ro terminal of Toumen Port, Linhai City, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province for export to Europe. Among them, 2,324 units came from the warehousing of Taizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone (hereinafter referred to as: Taizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone), and the other 1,222 units were gathered here from all over the country through road-rail combined transportation. As the gateway to the Taizhou Comprehensive Free Trade Zone, Toumen Port has become an important channel for the export of complete vehicles.

Only 3 kilometers away from the Taizhou Comprehensive Bonded Area, Taizhou's important local export vehicle production base operates efficiently. Li Jianyong, deputy director of the Taizhou Comprehensive Free Trade Zone Industrial Service Center, said that in the past, locally produced export vehicles needed to be transported over long distances to ports such as Ningbo, Shanghai, and Taicang, which was costly and time-consuming. Nowadays, the Taizhou Comprehensive Free Trade Zone is closed and operating, coupled with the improved port facilities, helping local industries to "go overseas" nearby.

At present, the Taizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone has opened up the entire process of vehicle off-line, bonded warehousing, customs clearance and release. After the inspection of locally produced vehicles is completed, they will directly enter the comprehensive bonded area for storage and enjoy the tax refund policy upon entering the area, reducing the financial pressure on enterprises. The local customs uses virtual license plates to quickly clear customs and direct transfer within the area and other supervision methods to simplify the transfer, loading and unloading process and improve the efficiency of customs clearance logistics.

In order to ensure the centralized shipment of a large number of vehicles, the Taizhou Comprehensive Free Trade Zone has cooperated with customs, shipping, maritime, border inspection and other units to implement services such as scheduled port collection, 7×24 scheduled customs clearance, and rapid inspection to ensure the orderly development of warehousing and customs clearance processes.

It is reported that the local area has facilities such as roll-on and roll-off terminals and railway supervision sites, forming conditions for multimodal transport collection and distribution. It can not only undertake the export of large quantities of complete vehicles, but also reserve export transportation capacity for the local automobile industry, playing a linkage role in the port area.

"After the National Day, it is expected that more than 4,000 new energy vehicles will be exported from Toumen Port." Chen Zhouhua, deputy general manager of Toumen Port Port Management Company, said.

Since the beginning of this year, the Taizhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone has been deeply involved in the "bonded + automobile" track, and has gradually become a "gathering point + buffer pool + tax refund port" for enterprises to export complete vehicles to the sea. 26,200 complete vehicles have left the zone, with a cargo value of 2.738 billion yuan, and the destination ports cover 18 countries and regions including Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
