Block trains enters Sino-German industrial park

Enterprises in Sino-German (Shenyang) High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park will enjoy much more convenient logistics and customs services for import and export businesses.

The industrial park has been chosen to replace the Shenyang East Railway Station as the terminal of the Sino-Europe block trains linking Shenyang to cities in Europe.

This signifies that imported and exported goods don’t have to be unloaded at Shenyang East Railway Station to accept customs inspection and then be transferred to Sino-German (Shenyang) High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park through roads, cutting logistics time and cost, as well as improving the efficiency of customs clearance.

The Tiexi plant of the Brilliance BMW is the first enterprise in Sino-German industrial park to enjoy this newly-launched service.

A total of five containers loading Brilliance BMW’s auto parts arrived at the industrial park on March 20, after a 20-day railway journey departed from Germany.

Customs inspection was conducted by staff members from Shenyang Customs just in front of the Tiexi plant, cutting the previous three-hour transit time.

The service is expected to help the Sino-German industrial park attract more investment and cooperation opportunities, said the director of the administration management committee of Sino-German (Shenyang) High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park.

Sino-German (Shenyang) High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park is a strategic cooperation platform for the Chinese and German high-end equipment manufacturing industry, and in line with the Made in China 2025 strategy and German Industry 4.0 strategy.

In 2017, the registered foreign capital in the industrial park reached 775.32 billion yuan ($123.09 billion); and the annual import and export volume reached 20 billion yuan.
