"tir+" starts new business. Cross-border logistics upgrades
On 15 january, the new regulations of the general customs administration led to the launching of the “tir+ bond” and the “tir+ cross-border electrician” innovation operations in parallel across the country. This marks an important upgrading of our cross-border logistics and the creation of new and efficient international logistics corridors for foreign trade enterprises。
The tir system is based on the system of cross-border cargo clearance established by the united nations convention on international road transport and now has more than 70 states parties globally. Under this system, transport vehicles with tir certificates may be cleared for customs clearance at the point of departure and destination, without double-checking through countries to achieve efficient cross-border traffic. The launch of the “tir+ bond” and the “tir+ cross-border electrician” model, which for the first time formally integrates bonded goods with cross-border electrician goods into the tir transport system, has resulted in an innovative integration of international road transport with tax policy and cross-border electrician regulation. In henan, the “tir+ bond” goods were sent from the zhengzhou airport district to russia。
In xinjiang kashi, two transport vehicles with daily department goods slowly departed from the tir assembly centre, which will take two days and five days, respectively, to pakistan and uzbekistan。
In addition, two shipments of “tir+ bond” and “tir+ cross-border electrician” goods were issued simultaneously in winzhou, zhejiang。
We can apply for tax refunds as soon as the goods enter the area, about 10 days before we were able to export our goods to europe mainly by sea for longer transport, and the tir model can reduce our transport time by about 65 per cent。
Cross-border electrician, bonded goods, pilot "one stop" straight up
The general customs administration had previously issued a bulletin on optimizing the implementation of the convention on international road transport, which included cross-border electrician goods and bonded goods, and had clarified the criteria for reporting, and enterprises could effectively improve the efficiency of cross-border logistics by clearing through the “single window” exclusive module of international trade. On 15 january, the customs offices of hangzhou, qingdao, zhengzhou, shenzhen, asagawa and urumqi took the lead in the pilot。
On 15 january, following the completion of customs formalities by an international road transport convention (tir) transport vehicle from the qingdao air terminal, it carried over 9,000 pairs of shoes and transported directly to moscow, russia, through the “one stop” model of the tir+ bond。
Under the supervision of wang chi wei, vice-customs director of customs at qingdao airport, “tir+ bonds” companies can store goods within the customs special control zone, declare them through the “one-stop” area, transport, export, and directly to overseas destinations, in accordance with overseas orders and the tir vehicle scheme. Imported goods can first be entered into the stockings of the issa, and import duties, import chain duties and taxes may be suspended to ease financial pressure on enterprises。
The cost of international road transport is only 25 per cent of air transport, which is one times faster than that of railways, and the policy advantages of superseding integrated tax zones, allowing for more flexibility in the shipment of export goods and earlier tax refunds, allowing imports to be temporarily covered by near-inbound taxes。
The full text of the “tir+pension” model of the head of a cross-border electrician enterprise has both achieved the early consolidation of goods in the imss and the early recovery of taxes, and benefited from the efficient and reliable transport of the tir, allowing exporting and importing enterprises to actually feel the dividends of policy innovation。
In addition to qingdao, many vehicles carrying cross-border electrician goods and bonded goods are transported by international road to kazakhstan, uzbekistan, pakistan and russia to achieve “one declaration, one car and one box at the end” under the international road transport convention。
The convention on international road transport, based on customs clearance systems and standardized guarantee mechanisms endorsed by 78 parties globally, does not require double-checking, re-loading and has clear advantages in terms of transport costs and timeliness. At present, there are 272 relevant chinese companies, and in 2025 international road transport operations were regulated by more than 3,800 votes, a 1. 1-fold increase over the same period. More than 70 international road transport routes have been opened throughout the country, covering several countries, including central asia, west asia and europe, to effectively enhance the facilitation of customs clearance of goods in international road transport。
