On January 27, 2026, the first batch of imported and exported goods that adopted the new regulatory model in China successfully completed customs procedures at ports and stations in multiple provinces and cities, marking the official completion of the pilot supervision of sea rail intermodal transportation and water water intermodal transportation.

Covering new types of multimodal transport

The pilot project launched this time is further expanded to import and export "sea rail intermodal" and "water water intermodal" on the basis of the original export "railway public intermodal". On the first day of the pilot, customs in Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Nanchang, Qingdao, Jinan, Haikou, Chongqing, Nanning and other places simultaneously carried out business, achieving nationwide two-way connectivity of the new model.

Implement a single declaration system

Customs will deeply integrate the "one order system" and "one box system" into the multimodal transport supervision process. Enterprises only need to transmit a multimodal transport application form to customs through the international trade "single window" to complete the entire declaration process. This greatly simplifies the declaration data items, supports flexible loading of goods during transportation, and achieves convenience in customs clearance procedures and increased freedom in logistics operations.

Serving the national strategy and reducing costs to increase efficiency

The new model aims to open up logistics channels between coastal ports, border ports, and inland hinterland, promote the coordinated development of ports, railways, and inland waterway transportation, and enable inland areas to share the convenience of port opening. This is a key measure for high-level opening up of customs services and promoting high-quality development, which helps to reduce logistics costs for the whole society, smooth the domestic and international dual circulation, and provide strong support for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, Western Land Sea New Channel, Yangtze River Golden Waterway, and world-class port clusters.Editor/Gao Xue
