URUMQI, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) — Customs at Tianshan Airport in Urumqi, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, handled more than 835,000 pieces of incoming and outgoing mail in the first half of 2025, up 354.5 percent year on year.

According to the customs office, over 824,000 postal parcels were sent overseas from Urumqi in the first six months, up 374.6 percent year-on-year. Meanwhile, the volume of postal parcels incoming from overseas to Urumqi reached 11,400 units (up 11.5 percent).

During the specified period of time, mainly essential goods and light industry products were sent abroad by mail from Urumqi; they mainly entered the Kazakhstan market.

The sharp increase in outgoing mail from Urumqi was made possible by the high demand in the Central Asian e-commerce market. In recent years, e-commerce in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries has been rapidly developing, and their requirements for the speed and cost of parcel delivery have increased. At the same time, postal transportation has become the preferred choice due to its low cost and fast customs clearance. This has contributed to the rapid growth of outgoing mail from Urumqi. -0-
