A few days ago, the Sichuan Market Purchasing Trade Trade Cross -border Highway Cargo Transport (TIR), which was carried out by 470,000 yuan, started in Chengdu.

For the export of small and medium -sized enterprises, there are more channel choices." The main scope of the main body, faster customs clearance exports, better tax policies, and more live foreign exchange management are of great advantages. It is of great significance to "going global" for small products. Exporting goods through TIR to Europe has reduced the outlet inspection and other links. Reduce the transportation time and 30%transportation costs, so that the enterprise "lights up".
