Recently, a company located in the Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Zijin International Leasing (Haikou) Co., Ltd., completed the export procedures for five Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group loaders through a cross-border financial leasing model with remote customs supervision. The equipment will be shipped from Shanghai Port to Australia.
This marks the first cross-border leasing business for mining engineering machinery under remote supervision at the Hainan Free Trade Port. The innovative customs clearance model significantly reduces logistics costs for enterprises, helping domestic mining equipment expand into overseas markets.
Zijin International Leasing (Haikou) Co., Ltd., established in the Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone in March 2020, had previously conducted aircraft leasing operations. The launch of this large-scale engineering machinery cross-border leasing business represents a key step for the company in expanding its business scope within the zone, and also signifies a further enrichment of the types of bonded leasing products covered by the zone.
The company purchased five LW1200KN wheel loaders, which were delivered to Norton Gold Fields Pty Ltd in Australia under a bonded financial leasing model. The equipment will be used for long-term operations at local mining sites. These machines are super-heavy large engineering machinery, with dimensions exceeding the limit, preventing them from entering the zone's gates. Long-distance multi-stage transport posed high risks of logistical damage, making traditional bonded zone entry models unfeasible, thus blocking the company's customs clearance and transportation.
The Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone Management Committee, in collaboration with Macun Port Customs, formed a dedicated service team. Leveraging the policy from the "Several Measures to Promote the Expansion and Quality Improvement of Comprehensive Bonded Zones," which allows for remote customs supervision of imported and exported large-scale technical equipment and its spare parts for financial leasing within the zone if actual entry is difficult, they coordinated with Waigaoqiao Port Customs in Shanghai across different customs districts. This implemented the "declaration in Haikou, exit supervision at Shanghai Port" remote supervision model.
This solution eliminated the need for long-distance cross-regional transport of the equipment, saving the company substantial costs for heavy transport, ferry, and loading/unloading fees. It also avoided the risk of equipment damage during transit, significantly shortened the delivery cycle, and truly achieved cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
Going forward, the Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone will continue to collaborate with customs to provide dedicated enterprise services, deepen its specialization in niche leasing sectors like aircraft and large engineering machinery, and persistently cultivate various "first-of-its-kind" innovative businesses under the Free Trade Port. It aims to gather financial leasing industry resources and build a regional hub for cross-border leasing.
More on the topic
Cross-border financial leasing is a key industry direction that the Haikou Comprehensive Bonded Zone is focused on nurturing. Leveraging the policy advantages of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the zone has continuously driven innovation in regulatory models and business scenarios. It has already established specialized business segments such as high-speed train and aircraft leasing, steadily strengthening its industrial foundation.
The implementation of this "first-of-its-kind" cross-border mining engineering machinery leasing business serves as a practical validation of the "Several Measures to Promote the Expansion and Quality Improvement of Comprehensive Bonded Zones" regarding the remote supervision of "large-scale technical equipment" in the engineering machinery sector. It is also a significant breakthrough for the zone in the large-scale engineering machinery leasing sector, further broadening the application scenarios for bonded leasing. This allows policy benefits to precisely empower the export of domestic equipment, aiding domestic mining machinery in capturing international market opportunities.
