Beijing, October 28 (Xinhua) — In the first three quarters of 2025, 342 trucks were shipped abroad under the TIR (International Road Transport) system from the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "China-SCO Demonstration Zone"), located in Qingdao, Shandong Province (east China), an increase of 97 percent year-on-year, according to the website of the General Administration of Customs (GAC), citing data from Qingdao Customs.
During this period, these vehicles transported 5,486 tons of cargo, which is 114 percent more than in the same period last year.
The China-SCO Demonstration Zone has currently opened a number of international road freight transport routes, including China-Russia, China-Kazakhstan, China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan, and China-Belarus. In the two years since its opening, 634 vehicles carrying 9,956 tons of cargo and a total value of RMB 426 million (approximately USD 60 million) have been shipped from this zone under the TIR system. Both indicators have maintained high growth rates.
As the “fourth logistics channel” after air, sea and rail transport, international road transport plays a vital role in ensuring the rapid movement of goods around the world.
TIR is an international system that simplifies the transport of goods between countries. Under this system, cargo is sealed at the starting point of the route and inspected only upon arrival at the destination. At intermediate border crossings, border crossing officers merely verify the TIR carnet data and the customs stamp for the vehicle. This reduces transit time and mitigates potential risks associated with administrative customs procedures and cargo damage. China joined the TIR Convention in July 2016. -0-
