The China State Railway Group (CSR), says China’s railway department will lower miscellaneous freight charges periodically to reduce logistics costs of enterprises amid the epidemic.
The Chinese news agency which made this known on Friday said miscellaneous freight charges would be halved from March 6 to June 30.
It stated that this development was expected to ease logistics costs by 380 million yuan, about 54.75 million dollars for enterprises and shippers.
“The measure may effectively offset the impact of the epidemic on logistics services and help enterprises resume production as soon as possible.
“Meanwhile, the railway department will give full play to ensure the transport of supplies for epidemic control and work resumption with more precise plans,” it added. (NAN)
