According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, recently, the General Administration of Customs announced that since January 8, the nucleic acid testing of all entry personnel will be canceled, and all entry personnel will be required to declare the results of novel coronavirus nucleic acid testing within 48 hours before entry to the customs. Relevant provinces (autonomous regions) will promote the orderly and safe resumption of the opening of goods and passenger transport at border ports according to the classification of procedures. At the same time, measures such as nucleic acid monitoring and detection for novel coronavirus in the port link of all imported cold chain food and non cold chain goods will be canceled.

According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, during the epidemic period, the port required to strengthen the disinfection of the means of transport and the operating environment and the protection of the employees in the process of cargo handling and transportation. This new regulation will simplify the port operation process of goods import and further improve the efficiency of entry customs clearance.

Cold chain food is almost carried out at low temperature from processing and production to storage and transportation, while COVID-19 is easy to attach, survive and spread at low temperature. In the past three years, COVID-19 was often detected in imported goods at ports. To this end, the General Administration of Customs has issued measures to improve and standardize the cold chain import, such as suspending the import and canceling the registration of the overseas food production enterprises with problems, and classifying and disposing the food with positive results; Earlier in 2020, for the same overseas food enterprise that continuously detected positive, the import declaration of the enterprise for different periods was automatically suspended.

The railway cold chain imports a wide range of foods, including frozen beef, mutton and pork, dairy products, fresh fruits and vegetables, salmon and other seafood products. After the implementation of "Class B and Class B", the industry has more room for imagination to increase the cold chain imports of the China-Europe train.

In this regard, Li Na, the deputy general manager of Beijing Trans Eurasia International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd., said that the implementation of "Class B and Class B management" for COVID-19 infection would have a visible positive impact on international railway transportation. "On the one hand, the cancellation of the disinfection and sterilization of inbound goods will reduce the workload of port operators, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of port work and easing the backlog and congestion at ports. On the other hand, since the high and low risk areas are no longer demarcated, and the nucleic acid detection and isolation links are also cancelled, the circulation of staff and goods will be more smooth and fast, and the efficiency of cargo collection and distribution will also be improved for the train transportation."

"In addition, in terms of personnel exchanges, the liberalization of visa issuance and the resumption of international flights will help promote more international exchanges and help enterprises obtain more foreign trade orders," Li said.

Zhang Hongming, the director of Gansu Central Europe International Logistics Co., Ltd. of Wuwei Bonded Logistics Center, also believes that, The implementation of "Class B and Class B management" is a good thing for the development of the train business: "Especially in the field of return transportation, the categories of goods transported by the train will increase, and the refrigerated transportation and food, grain and feed goods will become a new focus of the train transportation. Accordingly, with the increase of return transportation, it is also conducive to solving the port reload congestion caused by the lack of vehicle plates in overseas sections."

According to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data, Sun Lu, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Huayun International Logistics Co., Ltd., also expected that the new policy would bring more demand for trade and cargo volume transportation. He said that "overseas customers will reconsider and position the Chinese market and continue to purchase goods from China in large quantities. After all, our country's industrial scale and production cost advantages are obvious."
