During the first month of operation (April 26 to May 26) of the direct shipping route for bulk and general cargo between Huizhou Port and Haiphong Port in Vietnam, nearly 350 tons of polyether polyols, speaker accessories, and other goods were successfully transported to Vietnam via this route under the supervision of the Huizhou Port Customs Office, which is affiliated with the Shenzhen Customs Authority.

This new shipping route is of great significance to the petrochemical energy new materials industry and the electronics industry. Goods departing from Huizhou Port can reach Haiphong Port in just two days. Through seamless “port-to-port” connections and a “door-to-door” logistics network, goods can be delivered within five days. The service offers “stable prices throughout the year, punctual sailing, and point-to-point direct shipping,” which can significantly shorten the logistics handling time and reduce logistics costs. The new route is another important channel for expanding economic and trade cooperation between China and Vietnam, and has far-reaching significance for strengthening the stability of the regional supply chain.

To ensure the smooth operation of this direct shipping route, Huizhou Port Customs Office has taken a proactive approach by liaising with terminal operators, shipping agents, freight forwarders, and other companies to gain an early understanding of their needs and vessel schedules. A dedicated team has been set up to provide follow-up services related to cargo declaration, customs clearance, and inspection procedures. By comprehensively utilizing convenient measures such as document pre-review, appointment-based customs clearance, and advance declaration, Huizhou Port Customs Office has enabled daily clearance of declaration documents and timely release of cargo, ensuring efficient shipment of goods to overseas markets.

In the near future, Huizhou Port Customs Office will take the cross-border facilitation special action as a starting point to continue optimizing the business environment, comprehensively improve the efficiency of customs clearance for imported and exported goods, and contribute to the high-quality development of the local economy.
