en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the first five months of this year, China's total goods trade imports and exports increased by 15.3% year-on-year. This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the China-Europe Railway Express. As a China-Europe freight train assembly center in North China, Shijiazhuang International Land Port has launched 18 international routes covering over 50 countries and regions. On June 9, two China-Europe freight trains departed from here, heading to Russia and Uzbekistan respectively.

Shijiazhuang International Land Port boasts a prominent geographical advantage, located at the intersection of five major cities: Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Taiyuan, and Jinan, covering multiple important economic regions within a radius of 200 to 300 kilometers. Currently, goods shipped from here to ASEAN can arrive in about 7 days, to Central Asia in about 8 days, and to the heart of Europe in about 20 days, significantly reducing transit time compared to sea freight. The China-Europe freight train service at Shijiazhuang International Land Port was launched in 2018, and over the seven years of operation, cargo volume has increased by more than 660 times.

The operation of Shijiazhuang International Land Port has driven the export of specialized county-level industries in Hebei Province, including children's strollers from Pingxiang, fitness equipment from Dingzhou, fishing rods from Suning, and cashmere from Qinghe. Return trains bring agricultural products such as flaxseed and sunflower seeds from Central Asian countries. The "Railway Express Clearance" model introduced by Shijiazhuang Customs allows export goods to undergo inspection and release at the departure point in advance, reducing overall customs clearance time by 1 to 2 days. Currently, Shijiazhuang International Land Port operates 28 scheduled trains per month and one full-schedule train per week, attracting more cargo from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to be assembled here.
