BEIJING, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — The volume of freight carried by China-Europe trains passing through Ereenhot Port in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has exceeded 4 million tons since the beginning of this year, up 23.6 percent year-on-year, as of November 25, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Ereenhot City Hall.
According to local customs statistics, this figure reached a record level in the history of the checkpoint for the specified period and was 400 thousand tons higher than the figure recorded for the entire previous year.
The Ereenhot border crossing is a key hub on the central route of international China-Europe rail freight transport. Currently, 74 China-Europe rail routes pass through it, covering cities in more than 10 countries in Asia and Europe. Moreover, the range of goods carried by China-Europe freight trains is becoming increasingly diversified, with over 40 percent of the total freight volume being high-value-added goods, including Chinese-made vehicles, electromechanical equipment, and electronic devices.
Since the beginning of this year, local customs, while continuously optimizing the customs clearance process, have opened a “green corridor” for China-Europe trains, and also implemented the “China-Europe train – cross-border e-commerce” and “China-Europe train – international mail” models to expand the business scope of such trains.
The local customs service is actively working to provide one-stop customs clearance services and 24/7 customs inspection appointments. Building on the coordination mechanism between customs, railway authorities, and enterprises, it has stepped up efforts to improve customs clearance efficiency through the use of intelligent inspection equipment, such as drones and all-weather multifunctional inspection vehicles.
Currently, the Erenhot checkpoint serves an average of 13 China-Europe trains daily. -0-
