Cargo planes are neatly parked at the port, separated by a wide avenue, and it is the busiest airport in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. This is the scene that this reporter saw at a cargo station in Beijing's Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded Zone a few days ago.
In the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, quay cranes are lined up one after another, and countless containers are neatly placed in the busiest seaport in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
The Capital Airport is the air gateway of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and Tianjin Port is the maritime gateway of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, with a distance of 180 kilometers. Nowadays, the pattern of "dual ports" of seaports and airports driving regional development is gradually taking shape.
In August last year, the Beijing Capital International Airport Airport Economic Zone Management Committee and the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone Management Committee signed a memorandum of cooperation, and the integration of sea and air port customs clearance is promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to run out of "acceleration".
After completing customs declaration and customs clearance in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, the container loaded with the rare disease drug "Obajie" enters China from Tianjin Port, and then directly sits on the cold chain truck to the airport economic zone of the capital airport, and finally stores it in the cold storage of the Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded Zone, waiting to be sent to all parts of the country. Thanks to the integrated customs clearance of the "dual ports" linkage, the customs clearance and release time of the drug "Obajie" has been shortened from 3 days to 1 day.
Hu Xiaoxia, general manager of the external affairs department of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Science Park, said that although the company is in the Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded Zone, it enjoys the policy dividend of "two places and two ports", and nearly 16% of the company's 10 billion yuan of drugs last year were imported by sea through Tianjin Port.
Unlike coastal cities such as Shanghai and Guangdong, Beijing only has an airport and no seaport, and Tianjin, as an important seaport city, plays an important role in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei shipping, and the "two cities and two ports" superimpose the policy effectiveness of "1+1>2".
With the help of the 'dual ports' synergy, information exchange, resource sharing, joint work in multiple places, and deep integration of industrial policies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei free trade zone are becoming the norm. Zhang Tingjun, director of the Policy Research and Institutional Innovation Division of the Airport Economic Zone Management Committee of the Capital Airport, said.
Recently, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei first cross-customs bonded exhibition transaction landed, and 832 bonded products such as the pilot enterprise Wangfujing Global Purchase Fragrance and Skin Care were sent from the Airport Economic Zone of the Capital Airport and shipped to the first store outside Beijing located in Tianjin New Lufthansa Outlets, bringing the unique global shopping experience to Tianjin.
At the end of November 2023, the General Administration of Customs issued 12 key measures to support the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, clearly supporting the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Comprehensive Bonded Zone to carry out a bonded exhibition and transaction off-site supervision model, and promoting the steady growth of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cross-border**.
Mr. Xiao, a resident of Tianjin, said that when he heard that the cross-border e-commerce experience store had opened in Tianjin, he came here to try and buy bonded goods in person. According to the staff of Tianjin New Lufthansa Outlets, many Internet experts came to visit the store and explain this new model to the audience outside the camera.
Chen Zhaoliang, general manager of Beijing Wangfujing Duty-Free Digital Retail Co., Ltd., said: "The company also plans to continue to add experience stores this year to further stimulate new consumption potential. ”
In terms of building a highland for the country's opening up to the outside world, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei airport and seaport also play a unique role.
According to the data, the import and export value of Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded Zone will reach 120 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 38%; The container throughput of Tianjin Port in 2023 will be 22.17 million TEUs, a record high, and the cargo volume of the "two ports" will rank among the top airports and seaports in the country.
In the airport economic zone of the capital airport, the performance of Beijing aircraft maintenance project increased by 45%, 8 foreign airlines such as Air France-KLM settled in, and the Beijing aero engine maintenance project with a total investment of 400 million US dollars was officially started; In the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, the Airbus Tianjin ** line was put into operation for 15 years, and the second ** line project of the A320 series aircraft started construction.
The linkage of airports and seaports, the integration of port customs clearance, the extension of bonded functions, and the innovation of the system and mechanism of the free trade zone will transform the regional potential energy of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei gateway hub into the kinetic energy of coordinated development, and help the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region build a world-class airport manufacturing cluster. Zhang Tingjun said.
