BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — The number of TIR (Transportation International Road Transport) truck shipments from the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "China-SCO Demonstration Zone") in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, reached 239 units in the first seven months of 2025, up 134.3 percent year on year, according to a post on the zone's official Wechat account.
The data also showed that the value of cargo carried by these vehicles was 156 million yuan, up 190.5 percent from the same period last year.
TIR is an international system that simplifies the transportation of goods between countries. Within its framework, the goods are sealed at the starting point of the route and checked only upon arrival at the destination, and at intermediate border crossings, checkpoint officers only check the TIR carnet data and the customs stamp for the vehicle. This reduces the travel time and reduces possible risks associated with administrative customs control procedures and damage to the goods. China joined the TIR Convention in July 2016.
At present, there are 4 TIR road freight routes operating as a starting point in the China-SCO Demonstration Zone, including China-Russia, China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan and China-Kazakhstan. They now transport 40 types of goods, including food, as well as mechanical and electrical equipment.
Recently, a truck loaded with food products, electrical equipment, etc., left the China-SCO Demonstration Zone for Moscow under the TIR system. The cargo, worth approximately 1.3 million yuan, is expected to arrive in the Russian capital in 9 days.
Currently, on average, at least one vehicle under the TIR system departs from the designated area to Russia or Central Asia every day.
The above routes serve as a safe, stable and convenient international logistics channel for more than 1,000 enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity, the post noted. -0-
