Sunny Worldwide Logistics News Express Shanghai exempts from the detention fee, and retires the &quo

Just two months,Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port Area224 boxes of overdue stagnation of Hong Kong's main "foreign garbage" were retired, with a total weight of 4,902 tons. Among them, the proportion of staying in Hong Kong for more than 5 years is more than 60%, and even the "longer-lasting" container does not last for 18 years.

In Shanghai, “foreign garbage” is concentrated in Waigaoqiao Port Area and Yangshan Port Area, where ocean-going routes are dense and container unloading is huge. In particular, the Waigaoqiao Port Area, due to its long construction time, has more backlogs of unoccupied “foreign garbage”. Since April this year, 102 of the 122 ports that have been retired (including harmless treatment) at the Shanghai Port have been collected from the Waigaoqiao Port Area.

Exempt from the detention fee and get through the return road

The return of “foreign garbage” is a global problem. If the first time is not returned, the rental fee and yard fee will increase geometrically. There may even be a situation where the value of a solid waste container is only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, while the cost of demurrage is as high as several hundred thousand yuan. The consignor often evades the responsibility for returning goods on the grounds of lack of economic strength. In addition, due to the long time of detention, the change or disappearance of overseas shippers has become a great obstacle to returning shipments.
According to the current laws and regulations, no container has been declared for 3 months after the container arrives in Hong Kong, so that the owner can be identified and follow-up procedures. Whether the box is solid waste or other normal goods, whether it is a national restricted or a prohibited solid waste, it is necessary to carry out professional appraisal and review, and may delay the return process.

In the face of many difficulties, the Shanghai Port is determined to be extremely determined.

Wang Dianwen, deputy director of the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port Customs Office, said that the foreign customs have actively coordinated the efforts of the various authorities to retreat the solid waste of the Laigang. First check and confirm the solid waste, and then talk to the 22 shipping companies involved in "foreign garbage" one by one. In-depth understanding of the appeals of the six key shipping companies, and encourage them to actively contact overseas cargo owners to get through the return road.

The biggest concern of these shipping companies is the large amount of port and porting fees that the returning company has to bear. To this end, the Foreign Customs and Excise Department has specially established the WeChat Group of the shipping company to listen to the company's demands and specifically report to the Shanghai Customs and coordinate with the Shanghai Port Group to reduce the relevant fees. After the special review, the Shanghai Port Group decided that as long as the shipping company fulfills its promise of returning the goods within a time limit, it will be exempted from its yard and moving fees. The total amount of the reduction and exemption involves tens of millions of yuan, which clears the economy of the return of the “foreign garbage”. The biggest obstacle to cost.

Establish WeChat Group to solve problems in time

Once the shipping company finalizes the overseas consignee, the shipping schedule will be arranged immediately, and the relevant complicated procedures must be kept up, otherwise the opportunity will disappear silently.
Wang Dianwen said: "In addition to the shipping company WeChat group, the Foreign Customs and Excise Department has also established a 'outside port solid waste retreat disposal contact group' to cooperate with all the links before and after the solid waste retreat, providing all support means for solid waste 'go home'. The WeChat group responds in a timely manner, and the progress is always followed up."

Wang Dianwen introduced that not long ago, there was news inside the group that a ticket has been found in the port of Hong Kong and has been found overseas. It is necessary to urgently arrange for the ship to be shipped next Monday. This means that the container must be transported from the yard to the port area on Saturday.
In order to ensure foolproof, the head of the comprehensive business of the Customs and Excise Department of the Outer Harbour Customs rushed from the home to the on-site declaration window to cooperate with the “foreign garbage” declaration. In the release of the audit, the steps could not be advanced because the related information did not match.

After the sudden release of this situation in the WeChat group, the Chief of the Inspection Department of the Outer Harbour Customs also rushed from the home to the terminal yard, coordinated the operation of the terminal, and revised the relevant parameters to enable the container to board smoothly.
In the end, in the long-term "Laigang" of the Waigaoqiao port area, 102 votes totaled more than 6,000 tons of solid waste, and 88 votes were successfully returned.

The relevant person in charge of Shanghai Customs said that today, the resolute attitude of China's ban on "foreign garbage" has made the major shipping companies not scorn, and blocked the possibility of "foreign garbage" entering the country from the source. Coupled with the recent high-pressure implementation of the Shanghai Customs return shipment, "foreign garbage" has no way to enter the country.
