liu hui, southwest regional operations manager of ocean supply chain management co., ltd., the owner of the cargo, said, "compared with traditional sea transportation, the 'vietnam-yunnan-chengdu-europe' all-rail freight train has greatly shortened the transportation time. it used to take us 30 to 40 days to ship from vietnam to europe by sea. with the support of qingbaijiang customs, we used the comprehensive bonded zone for the first time to adopt the method of international transit within the zone, which effectively simplified the operation links, improved customs clearance efficiency, and reduced logistics costs. this time, the 'vietnam-yunnan-chengdu-europe' all-rail freight train has shortened the overall transit time of goods to 20 days, and the transportation timeliness is stronger. for goods such as tea that have certain requirements for transportation timeliness, it can reach the european market faster and maintain the freshness and quality of the tea."
