Jiangsu has taken the lead in piloting the new intermodal transport model supported by the General Administration of Customs Announcement No. 12 of 2026, with Taicang Port becoming one of the first customs zones involved! On the first day of the reform, a shipment was exported from Taicang Port via the new “Water-Water Transshipment” model, transferred through Yangshan Port to Spain, marking the official launch of this innovative customs supervision model.
Key Benefits for Businesses (According to data from Taicang Customs, Nanjing Customs):
✅ Clearance time reduced by 30% — Streamlined logistics for faster end-to-end movement；
✅ Logistics costs lowered by approximately 15%-20% — Significant optimization of comprehensive transportation costs；
✅ Cargo dwell time decreased by over 40% — Substantial improvement in port transfer efficiency！
Model Advantages:
● Through integrated supervision, the model breaks down traditional barriers between segmented transport stages, achieving “one-time entrustment, one bill of lading throughout,” reducing intermediate links, and helping businesses build more stable and efficient supply chains。
● As a key hub in the Yangtze River Delta, Taicang Port’s participation in this pilot will further enhance synergy with Yangshan Port, boosting cross-border logistics convenience and accelerating “going global” for enterprises while reducing costs！
If your business is involved in foreign trade, logistics, or manufacturing, now is the perfect time to pay attention to this policy and plan your optimizations！
