Ürümqi, March 2 (Xinhua) — On March 1, the Horgos Port of Xinjiang, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, launched its first express border inspection channel at all Xinjiang vehicle ports. This measure, primarily used for commercial vehicle exports, aims to improve the efficiency of entry and exit inspections of drivers.
Early Sunday morning, Ma Kui, driving a commercial vehicle bound for export, prepared to cross the Khorgos checkpoint through this express entry channel. He faced the inspection equipment, then completed the passport scanning and biodata verification procedures. The boom of the barrier in the traffic lane quickly rose, signaling his unhindered passage through border control.
"The whole process went very smoothly. Previously, all border control formalities were handled by officers at the counter. Now I just scan my passport, look at the device, and leave my fingerprints. Everything was quick and very convenient," he said.
Khorgos is China's largest land port for commercial vehicle exports. Every day, over 1,000 commercial vehicles are transported through Khorgos to countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, cleared through customs. By the end of 2025, 450,000 vehicles were exported through the Khorgos border crossing, a 6.9 percent increase over 2024 and a historical high.
The express pass channel is reportedly based on the existing one-stop-shop screening system, with the addition of rapid screening equipment. Previously, drivers had to exit their vehicles and approach a service counter to join a security line; now, they can complete all screening procedures in one go, significantly increasing the efficiency of border control.
After the channel is put into operation, the Khorgos border service will continue to monitor its operation in real time, continuously optimize the system's functionality, and make every effort to ensure uninterrupted border control. -0-
