URUMQI, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — Horgos Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region imported and exported 46.43 million tons of cargo in 2025, up 1.9 percent from 2024, ranking first among all ports in the region, according to Horgos Customs data.
Judging by the product range, the Khorgos checkpoint primarily imported electromechanical products, unprocessed copper and copper-based materials, agricultural products, food products, metal ore, concentrate, and other goods. Among these products, agricultural and food imports increased most significantly. Exports primarily consisted of new energy vehicles, electromechanical products, products from emerging and high-tech industries, clothing, textiles, and other goods.
Yu Chengzhong, chairman of the board of directors of Jinyi International Trade Co., Ltd. in Horgos, told Xinhua that thanks to an increase in orders from Central Asia and simplified customs clearance procedures, his company exports over 2,000 tons of goods daily, including agricultural products, consumer goods, automobiles, and more. By 2025, the company's total export volume would exceed 700,000 tons, with trade turnover exceeding $2.6 billion.
The sustained growth of external cargo turnover at the Khorgos border crossing point was made possible by the implementation of institutional innovations and modern technologies. The "Smart Railway Checkpoint with Fast Track Customs Clearance at Destination" initiative has significantly reduced customs clearance times for imported goods. The average daily number of freight trains operating on the China-Europe/China-Central Asia routes remains above 27. The introduction of innovative models at the road checkpoint, such as the "Road Checkpoint with Direct Customs Clearance at Destination," has increased vehicle clearance efficiency by 80%. Furthermore, thanks to the opening of special channels by the customs and border control services, the customs clearance time for agricultural products has been reduced by more than 40%.
Located on the Chinese-Kazakh border, the Khorgos border crossing is the country's premier land port, boasting the longest history and the largest overall cargo volume in western China. Thanks to the implementation of a number of reform measures at the Khorgos road and rail crossing, customs clearance efficiency continues to improve. -0-
