Recently, a China-Europe Railway Express train carrying 81 JAC Sunray 6 Series ambulances was released by the Luzhou Customs under Hefei Customs and departed for Kazakhstan via the "Rapid Railway Clearance" mode through Alashankou (Alataw Pass). Reporters learned from Hefei Customs that in the first two months of this year, the Hefei China-Europe Railway Express has operated a total of 117 trains, shipping 9,622 TEUs with a cargo value of 770 million yuan. This year, Hefei's China-Europe Railway Express has added four new international stations. As of now, it has reached a total of 20 countries and 160 cities.

"Now everyone is willing to choose the 'Rapid Railway Clearance' mode for customs clearance," said Cui Wei, head of Hefei Zhonghang Customs Brokerage Co., Ltd. "In this clearance mode, not only are the procedures simplified, but the overall customs clearance time for exported goods is two to three days faster than before, and it also saves costs related to transit declarations."

It is reported that the "Rapid Railway Clearance" mode is a facilitative measure launched by the General Administration of Customs to further smooth international logistics channels and promote the development of the China-Europe Railway Express. This mode allows for data sharing among customs, railways, and operating companies, facilitating joint supervision by all three parties. Under this model, customs audits, releases, and verifications of the electronic data of railway manifests streamline the regulatory procedures for the import and export goods transported by railway.
