The person in charge of the Port Supervision Department of the General Administration of Customs answered reporters' questions about the international trade transit business carried out by ports of neighboring countries in Northeast China

On May 15th, the head of the Port Supervision Department of the General Administration of Customs stated in response to questions from reporters regarding the international trade transfer business carried out through ports of neighboring countries in Northeast China. In order to reduce the logistics costs of bulk goods transported south in Northeast China, starting from 2007, China agreed to transport goods from this region to neighboring countries' ports for transfer and then enter the southern ports of China in accordance with international transfer business. International transit is an internationally recognized customs business, and China has accumulated years of practical experience.

In 2007, the General Administration of Customs issued a notice allowing goods from Heilongjiang Province in China to carry out international transit business through multiple overseas ports, including Vladivostok Port in Russia, and the related business has been running well.

In May 2023, the General Administration of Customs announced the agreement to add Vladivostok Port in Jilin Province as an overseas transit port, which is a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation model among relevant countries. The General Administration of Customs will actively support the development of this business based on tracking and evaluation.
