On August 21, after completing the customs clearance and supervision procedures at Qingdao Dagang customs, a set of high-speed EMUs and a set of comprehensive inspection trains exported to Indonesia for the ya'an-wanzhou high-speed railway were loaded and shipped. This is the first time that China's high-speed railway trains are exported abroad.

These EMUs are customized by CRRC Qingdao Sifang locomotive and rolling stock Co., Ltd. for Indonesia Yawan high-speed railway project, and are representative works of China's high-end equipment "going out". Yawan high-speed railway is one of the landmark projects of the "the Belt and Road" initiative and the cooperation between China and Indonesia. It is also the first time that China's high-speed railway has been implemented in the whole system, all elements and all industrial chains overseas.

"The exported EMUs rely on the advanced and mature technology of Fuxing China standard EMU, integrate the local culture of Indonesia, and make adaptive improvement according to the local operating environment and line conditions of the project operation." Ma Qiang, deputy general manager of the overseas business department of CRRC Qingdao Sifang locomotive and rolling stock Co., Ltd., introduced that the train can run continuously at a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and has such remarkable characteristics as high technical standards, strong environmental adaptability and rich local elements.

In order to support the export of domestic high-speed EMUs, Qingdao Dagang customs took the initiative to meet the company's export plan and shipping schedule requirements, guide enterprises to make full use of convenient customs clearance measures, quickly complete export declaration, review, inspection and other work, and provide ship side supervision, which saved the turnover time in the port area supervision site and guaranteed the customs clearance logistics expectation of enterprises.
