In early spring, Ningbo Airport Port was quite busy: urgently needed raw materials for enterprise production were quickly released and put into production after customs inspection; A freight charter plane loaded with cross-border e-commerce goods such as daily necessities flies from Ningbo to overseas

On March 19th, statistics from Ningbo Airport Customs, a subsidiary of Ningbo Customs, showed that in the first two months of this year, the import and export cargo volume of Ningbo Airport reached 7947.9 tons, a year-on-year increase of 40.6%, setting a new historical high for the same period. Among them, the export volume of cross-border e-commerce is showing a rapid growth trend, with a growth rate exceeding double compared to the same period last year; There is a strong demand for high value-added goods related to emerging industries such as new materials and technologies, with an import volume of 160 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 51%.

The rapid development of international freight business is due to the continuous exploration of "air links". At present, Ningbo Lishe International Airport has 9 international freight routes in operation, forming an air freight network spanning Europe, Asia, and connecting North America. In the first two months, Ningbo Airport Customs supervised a total of 325 inbound and outbound cargo planes, a year-on-year increase of 2.85%.

The rapid development of international freight business is attributed to the smooth operation of Ningbo Airport's international customs transfer business. The airport freight department makes full preparation for information transmission, inbound sorting, outbound weighing, and data reporting when transferring goods, while the customs dynamically tracks the arrival of cargo planes and the logistics situation of goods. Through convenient measures such as 24-hour appointment for customs clearance and special window declaration, the goods are checked and released as soon as they arrive, ensuring daily customs clearance. In the first two months, the supervised international transshipment cargo volume by Ningbo Airport Customs reached over 1100 tons, a year-on-year increase of about 110%.

In addition, Ningbo Airport Customs continues to promote convenient measures such as two-step declaration, prior declaration, and consolidated taxation, providing customized customs clearance services for key enterprises, improving port clearance efficiency, and fully supporting the high-quality development of the airport.
