BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — More than 56 million parcels were exported through the Alashankou port in southwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the first eight months of this year, authorities in the city said.
During the reporting period, the total value of goods exported in these parcels reached 4.39 billion yuan (approximately 617.8 million US dollars), up 71.4 percent from a year earlier.
According to Kong Xianglin, a representative of a local logistics company, their company has already sent more than 5 million parcels overseas through this channel since the beginning of this year, with the value of exported goods exceeding 300 million yuan and the volume of transactions doubling compared with the same period last year. He added that the company mainly handles parcels of home textiles and electronics this year, which are in constant demand and have an excellent reputation in overseas markets.
In order to expand the parcel handling capacity, an industrial park with an investment of approximately 1 billion yuan was established in Alashankou, a city on the border of China and Kazakhstan. The park includes a comprehensive service center, an international mail exchange point, and various warehouses for collecting and sorting cargo, as well as storing inventory, enabling it to fully cover the export-import models within the fuel and energy sector.
There are currently 15 resident companies in the fuel and energy sector in the park. Kong Xianglin noted that the strengthening and intensification of interaction and contacts between the city administration and customs and border control services not only significantly increased the efficiency of customs clearance procedures, but also contributed to reducing the operating costs of enterprises.
