URUMQI, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) — At noon Saturday, a China-Europe train loaded with 55 containers of daily necessities, electronic devices, and other goods passed through the Horgos railway border crossing in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) and departed for Selyatino Station in Russia. This event marked the year-to-date increase of 17.6 percent in import and export cargo through the Horgos railway crossing.
The threshold was reportedly reached 43 days earlier than the 2024 target.
Currently, the Khorgos railway checkpoint handles the transshipment of China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains returning from abroad on average every two hours.
“Since the beginning of this year, our company has processed more than 2,000 China-Europe trains, which is 24 percent more than in the same period last year, and the volume of transportation has increased by 36 percent year-on-year,” noted Ma Meilian, director of a logistics company in Khorgos.
This year, the Khorgos checkpoint launched a reformed model of “Smart Railway Checkpoint Accelerated Customs Clearance at Destination”, which reduced the customs clearance time for imported goods from 2-3 days to less than 16 hours, while Khorgos Customs provides services on a 24/7 basis to ensure the efficient operation of such trains.
To date, more than 48,000 China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains have passed through the Khorgos railway checkpoint, operating on 90 relevant routes covering 46 cities and regions in 18 countries. -0-
