BEIJING, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) — The Ganqimaodu border crossing in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has seen rapid development and demonstrated significant trade potential during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), the Neimenggu Ribao daily reported Thursday.
According to local customs statistics, cargo turnover through this checkpoint exceeded 135 million tons from the beginning of 2021 to the end of September 2025. Specifically, in the first nine months of this year, the figure approached 30 million tons.
The Ganqimaodu checkpoint is a key hub of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and one of China's border logistics hubs. It facilitates the creation of a relatively convenient land channel for mineral imports from Mongolia, accounting for a third of the combined cargo turnover of the 14 border checkpoints in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The rapid development of the Ganqimaodu checkpoint would not have been possible without the implementation of a number of innovative measures. Local customs implemented an intelligent vehicle inspection and release system, ensuring that each vehicle clears customs in just over 10 seconds. Remote customs control significantly increased the efficiency of customs clearance at the checkpoint.
"The use of an intelligent system has simplified customs clearance of goods, saving businesses a significant amount of time and money," noted one local customs official.
The Ganqimaodu border crossing has demonstrated strong innovative potential in cross-border transportation. On July 16, 2022, its administration launched a cross-border freight transport model using automated guided vehicles (AGVs). By the end of October 2025, AGVs had transported a total of 9.6 million tons of imported cargo, providing a significant boost to freight throughput at this crossing.
Infrastructure construction is a reliable guarantee for the development of the Ganqimaodu border crossing. On May 14, 2025, construction of the 9.91-kilometer cross-border railway, which will pass through this border crossing, officially began.
It will be the second cross-border railway line between China and Mongolia. Its construction is expected to be completed in 2027. Once operational, its throughput capacity could reach 30 million tons per year, allowing the Ganqimao crossing to further increase freight volumes and trade. -0-
