TIANJIN, March 11 (Xinhua) — According to statistics, in the first two months of 2026, a total of 117 China-Europe/Central Asia international rail freight trains departed from Tianjin City in northern China, carrying 12,558 TEU containers. Both figures increased year-on-year by 5.4 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively.

Tianjin is a crossing point of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. Following the Tianjin Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in 2025, a regular Tianjin-Central Asia railway route was launched and included in China's freight train schedule.

"The number of clients from other regions who ship cargo using trains departing from Tianjin continues to grow. A number of preferential customs clearance measures implemented by Tianjin Customs ensure efficient processing of goods," reported one local freight forwarding company.

To ensure the smooth operation of trains, Tianjin Customs actively supports the construction of a China-Europe train hub in Tianjin, northern China, and has launched a one-stop shop for China-Europe/Central Asia train services.
