With the sound of the train, the "Shen Man Ou" China-Europe train carrying 187 original Belgian oil paintings and artworks stopped at the Shenyang Railway Logistics Station in Liaoning Province, ending the one-month cross-continent journey. On April 27, after the rapid inspection and release of Shenyang Customs under Liaozhong Customs, the imported oil paintings were directly transported to the International Art Bonded Storage Center in Shenyang Comprehensive Insurance Zone, and then they could be displayed in the zone for bonded display.
This is the first time that China-Europe art exchanges and trade have been shipped through the China-Europe express train, and it also marks the successful settlement of the International Art Bonded Service Center in Liaoning Free Trade Zone, the first international art bonded platform in Northeast China, to fill an important gap in the international bonded art warehousing, bonded display, bonded transaction and bonded auction business in Northeast China. Seeing the smooth arrival of the first batch of artworks, Qu Liangchen, chairman of Liaoning Deyi Culture and Art Industry Development Co., Ltd., introduced that overseas art transactions, logistics and transportation are the key. At present, most of the overseas artworks in the market are imported into the exhibition by sea, which is affected by the epidemic, not only the entry time is long, but the price is still high. This year, the company decided to switch to China-Europe express trains, which not only cost less, but also have more time security, saving money and time.
In addition, the speed of customs clearance is also an important factor in the logistics choice of enterprises. Ren Fengchao, deputy director of the Free Trade Department of Shenyang Customs, told reporters: "In order to ensure the stability and quality of foreign trade of enterprises, Shenyang Customs has overcome the impact of the epidemic, taken the new format of bonded exhibition and trading of works of art as a key service object, adopted the model of 'one enterprise, one policy' and 'special person docking', carried out policy publicity for enterprises, assisted in solving difficulties and problems in various links such as entering the zone, filing, customs clearance, and guarantee, and promoted the high-quality development of Shenyang Comprehensive Free Trade Zone." ”
It is reported that the Liaoning Free Trade Zone International Art Bonded Service Center Project is committed to providing one-stop services for the warehousing and logistics of global artworks, overseas cultural relics repatriation, luxury goods and other valuables, and is planned and constructed by Liaoning Deyi Culture and Art Industry Development Co., Ltd. with the support of Shenyang Free Trade Zone. The project plans to focus on the construction of three major sections, including the international art bonded storage center, the international art bonded exhibition and trading center and the international art bonded public service platform, with an operating area of 28,000 square meters, and is expected to be completed and used by the end of this year.
Jian Yanhui, director of the Customs Clearance Service Division of the Management Committee of the Taoxian Park of Shenyang Comprehensive Free Trade Zone, said that this move will create a bonded exhibition and trading base for Northeast Asian international cultural artworks centered on Shenyang, at which time buyers will be able to appreciate the purchase of foreign art in the Taoxian Park of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, so that the opening measures of the free trade zone will truly become the people's life dividend.
