RAILWAY TRANSIT TARIFF RATE Container transportation tariff (2007): 15.5 % Transshipment tariffs for containers (2017): 65.5 % Differentiation rate system in tariff: based on volume of transportation per month (2017) Ministry of Road and Transport Development of Mongolia – Regional Meeting UNESCAP Page 15
V. FACILITATION MEASURES AT RAILWAY BORDER CROSSINGS CHINA to RUSSIA RUSSIA to CHINA 1. Technological time: • Train receiving procedure time at Zamiin-Ude station was 420 minutes: • Mongolia introduced parallel technology system: train receiving procedure time reduced by 173 minutes (248 minutes). 2. Fast processing of container trains: • Excluded the locomotive changing procedure for whole travel; • Technical maintenance technology is reduced at technical station from 60-70 minutes to 30-40 minutes. Reducing the travel time: freight transportation 850-950 km per day. Russia to China: 28 hours, became 27% faster China to Russia: 31 hours, became 26% faster Ministry of Road and Transport Development of Mongolia – Regional Meeting UNESCAP Page 16
V. FACILITATION MEASURES AT RAILWAY BORDER CROSSINGS 3. Simplification: Exchange information between railway stakeholders In 2016, signed contract between railway authorities for exchange electronic documents: 13512 documents received, Phase I : 9640 documents sent. Beginning stage of paperless procedure for railway transportation: Consignment notes and Transfer lists are exchanged fully Electronic version since May 2017 /IFTMIN, IFTSUM/.
