Tengchong Port sees growth in both import and export cargo volume and value

In a report (by Reporter Yang Yanpeng, Correspondents Zhang Yi and Luo Shanshan), according to statistics from Tengchong Customs, in the first quarter of this year, Tengchong Port (including Houqiao Port and Dian Tan and the Autonomous Passage) handled 6.7 million tons of regulated import and export freight, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times; the import and export cargo value was 3.27 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.3 times. Both volume and value recorded a multiple-fold increase, demonstrating strong momentum in foreign trade development. Among them, the import cargo value was 2.26 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.4 times, while the export cargo value was 1.01 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.9 times.

The trade structure continues to be optimized, with diversified trade business models working together and highlighting notable features. Border small-amount trade at Tengchong Port is growing rapidly, achieving 2.21 billion yuan in imports and exports, a year-on-year increase of 10.6 times, becoming the core driving force behind the port’s growth in foreign trade; general trade is steadily improving, with imports and exports reaching 340 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.5 times; border residents’ mutual-market trade runs smoothly, achieving 640 million yuan in import and export cargo value; and bonded logistics completed 50 million yuan in imports and exports, a year-on-year increase of 2.1 times.

To continuously stimulate vitality in the port’s foreign trade, Tengchong Customs adheres to a dual approach of strengthening supervision and providing high-quality services, fully supporting the high-quality development of trade. It carries out in-depth policy briefings to guide enterprises to file declarations in a standardized manner, ensuring compliant and orderly import and export trade; it establishes a “one enterprise, one policy” assistance mechanism for key enterprises to precisely address practical problems enterprises face in customs clearance operations; it continues to deepen the “two-venues and one-meeting” reform, and fully promotes convenience measures such as “release first and inspect afterward,” early declaration, and appointment-based customs clearance. Leveraging a coordinated supervision model through the three-tier monitoring and command center, it comprehensively applies intelligent supervision approaches, including GPS in-transit monitoring, smart checkpoint inspection and release, and H986 inspection, to further improve supervision precision and customs clearance efficiency.
