URUMQI, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) — In 2025, the number of China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains passing through Horgos Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region reached a record high of 9,882, up 13.2 percent year-on-year, while freight throughput at the port also reached a new all-time high of 14.24 million tonnes, up 17.8 percent year-on-year, according to statistics released by Horgos Railway Station.
An increasing number of Chinese-made goods, such as everyday items, electromechanical equipment, electronics, agricultural products, and subsidiary industries, are passing through the aforementioned border crossing to Central Asian and European markets.
Customers prefer China-Europe/Central Asia trains for their high transportation speed, large number of railway lines, stable cargo transportation cycle time, and cost control, noted Zhang Yunyu, business manager of Xinjiang Zhonglian Haitong International Freight Forwarding Company, adding that last year the company handled a total of 2,200 China-Europe and China-Central Asia trains, a 41 percent increase compared to 2024.
Local customs, maintaining close cooperation with railway authorities, ensured the exchange of customs and railway data in real time, which increased the efficiency of customs clearance of trains of this category by more than 50%.
Since the launch of China-Europe/Central Asia freight train service at the Khorgos border crossing, more than 52,000 such trains have been processed. Currently, 90 China-Europe/Central Asia freight train routes pass through this border crossing, covering 46 cities and regions in 18 countries, and the range of goods carried by them exceeds 200 items.
