BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — The total number of freight trains sent from Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, on China-Europe international freight train routes has exceeded 6,000 as of Sept. 10, 2025, since the service was launched there in October 2014, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.
According to information posted on the official website of the State Customs Service, during the specified period, 6,247 China-Europe freight trains were sent from Changsha, which transported more than 520 thousand standard containers /TEU/ with goods worth a total of about 118.21 billion yuan /about 16.61 billion US dollars/.
According to data from Changsha Customs, from January to August this year, Changsha handled 643 China-Europe round-trip freight trains, carrying 52,696 standard containers with goods worth 10.47 billion yuan. Specifically, in August, these three indicators, namely the number of trips, the number of TEUs and the value of goods transported, increased by 241.8 percent, 241.8 percent and 46.8 percent year-on-year, respectively.
At present, there are 12 regular routes in Changsha, covering 100 regions and 30 countries on the Eurasian continent. The range of goods transported is becoming wider and wider, from basic daily necessities and hardware to the construction equipment, automobiles and their spare parts that are in demand today. China-Europe train transportation services have created more convenient conditions and more opportunities for enterprises in Hunan and its neighboring regions to enter overseas markets, and provided important support for the construction of the Belt and Road and the stabilization of the international supply chain.
In order to ensure the convenient and efficient operation of China-Europe freight trains, Changsha Customs has taken a series of measures to continuously optimize service processes and improve customs clearance efficiency. This year, the customs has implemented the “inspection first and then dispatch” inspection model, which has reduced the inspection time of export goods to 30 minutes, and the overall logistics cost has been reduced by an average of 15 percent. -0-
