Is rail transportation more cost-effective than air transportation? Shenyang enterprises are secretly using this trick

When a freight train fully loaded with electronic products departs from Shenyang East Station with a whistle and arrives directly in Hamburg, Germany 15 days later, few people know what kind of logistics code is hidden behind this. International rail transportation is becoming the new favorite of import and export trade with the advantages of being 3 times faster than sea transportation and saving 60% of the cost compared to air transportation. And Shenyang, as a railway hub in Northeast Asia, is playing a key role in this logistics revolution...

In today's reconstruction of the global supply chain, more and more "Mr. Zhang" have found that:

• The whole journey of the China-Europe Railway Express is time-efficient and stable within 12 - 18 days, saving more than 20 days compared to sea transportation
• The temperature can be controlled throughout the journey, which is especially suitable for high-value goods such as precision instruments and auto parts
• The carbon emissions are only 1/50 of that of air transportation, in line with the ESG development trend

As the only railway hub in the country that directly reaches the three major European ports (Hamburg/Duisburg/Małaszewicze), Shenyang has:

• There are 12 fixed freight trains per week, covering the main stations of 6 countries including Russia and Belarus
• The customs special supervision area realizes "one declaration, one inspection"
• Professional agencies such as Zhongshitong provide Russian/German bilingual documentary services

Professional agencies can solve more than 90% of cross-border problems: Tariff calculation is accurate to the 8th digit of the HS code, Dangerous goods transportation obtains ADR international certification, and Goods tracking is accurate to each transshipment node. Mr. Wang, who once transported chemical raw materials, sighed: "Without a professional team to handle the GOST certification for the Russian section, our goods worth tens of millions might still be stranded in Zabaikalsk now."

With the trade volume between China and Russia breaking through the 200 billion US dollar mark, special services such as the Shenyang-Moscow cold chain freight train and the special train for new energy vehicles continue to emerge. When you see the passing China-Europe Railway Express next time, you might as well think: Is your product missing the opportunity of this Iron Silk Road?
