At 14:00 on September 2, a truck loaded with more than 60,000 outbound mail items (weighing seven tonnes) from cross-border e-commerce retailers departed directly from the Hangzhou International Airmail Processing Center for Kazan, Russia, after rapid customs inspection and release. This was the ninth shipment of Russia-bound cross-border mail items sent by Hangzhou Postal Branch after Qianjiang Customs rolled out the “split declaration” mode for cross-border e-commerce retail exports under customs supervision code 9610 in August. To date, the cumulative shipment volume has exceeded 600,000 items.

Since the beginning of this year, Hangzhou Postal Branch has worked closely with Qianjiang Customs under Hangzhou Customs District, and leveraged the favorable policies of the “9610” cross-border e-commerce retail export to actively promote the “split declaration” mode. By restructuring workflows, upgrading services and optimizing logistics chains, Hangzhou Postal Branch has fundamentally reshaped the traditional cross-border export shipment mode, and significantly reduced the customs clearance time for Russia-bound logistics, with the overall transportation time shortened by six to nine days compared with previous operations, facilitating local cross-border e-commerce enterprises in Hangzhou reducing burdens, improving efficiency and operating with greater agility. As is reported, the implementation of the “split declaration” mode has enabled refined operations of one customs declaration form for one invoice allowing precise splitting and rapid release, thereby better meeting the needs of MSME e-commerce players for small-quantity, multi-shipment and high-frequency deliveries.
