Explanation of the Freight Flow of China Europe Railway

At present, there are many freight trains on the China Europe Railway in China, starting from cities such as Yiwu, Suzhou, and Harbin in the east, Baoding, Guangzhou, and Wuhan in the middle, and Chengdu, Xining, and Xinjiang in the west. As the number of trains increases, more and more companies are choosing the China Europe railway freight transportation. However, many companies have encountered unnecessary troubles due to their lack of understanding of the entire freight process, resulting in the inability of goods to be delivered to the European FBA on time.

The China Europe railway freight transportation will pass through multiple countries, and its operation process mainly consists of three parts. The following is a detailed explanation:

1、 Shipping Station Freight Forwarding Business Process

After the enterprise hands over the goods to the freight forwarding company, the freight forwarding company will send the goods to the freight station for inspection and export customs declaration. Only after all procedures are completed can the goods be loaded onto the railway truck. When loading, it is necessary to reinforce the object to ensure transportation safety, and at the same time, seal the goods to ensure that they are not opened during transportation. At this stage, the enterprise needs to pay for the transportation and miscellaneous expenses of domestic and foreign railway freight between China and Europe.

2、 Border Station Freight Forwarding Business Process

When the railway arrives at the border, the railway department needs to carry out cargo handover work, which specifically includes document review, export customs declaration processing, and other cargo handover work. At this stage, the enterprise needs to pay a replacement fee. Border stations are divided into export country border stations and import country border stations. Depending on the length of the China Europe railway freight journey, a single shipment may go through multiple border stations.

3、 Arrival Station Freight Forwarding Business Process

When the goods arrive at the destination country, they reach the third stage of the China Europe railway cargo. At this stage, relevant information from the border station needs to be sent to extract the corresponding goods. After the goods are extracted, tax declaration and other work needs to be done. After the enterprise officially receives the goods, it needs to pay the pick-up fee and the remaining shipping cost.
