Xinjiang's Horgos port handles over 9,000 China-Europe freight trains in 2025

URUMQI, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- A China-Europe freight train loaded with garments, toys, electromechanical products and auto parts departed earlier this week from Horgos Railway Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region for Malaszewicze, Poland, marking the 9,000th such train to pass through the port this year.

Horgos Customs announced on Friday that the port has maintained robust growth in freight train operations, averaging over 27 trains per day since the beginning of 2025.

The total cargo throughput for the year has surpassed 12 million tonnes. These trains are increasingly serving as a vital transportation link for goods manufactured in China's industrial heartlands, including the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions, destined for markets in Central Asia and Europe, the customs added.

The China-Europe (Central Asia) rail service offers distinct advantages, including faster transit than sea freight, lower costs than air transport and stable scheduling, earning strong recognition from clients, said Li Qing, business manager of Xinjiang Anrun International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd.

Port operations have seen a significant efficiency boost, driven by smart port modernization and streamlined customs protocols. Import cargo clearance has been slashed from two to three days to under 16 hours, while export processing has been reduced from six hours to just one hour.

Horgos Port now serves as a key transit point for 90 China-Europe (Central Asia) rail routes, connecting 46 cities and regions across 18 countries.

Regarding Document Language Versions and Our Services

We have intentionally presented these documents in their original format: some crucial policies are available only in Chinese. This reflects a common and critical challenge when entering the Chinese market—the information barrier. Although the Chinese government is continuously enhancing its efforts to publish information in English, a vast volume of legally binding regulations, standards, notices, and real-time updates are still first published through official Chinese channels. This divide of language and access often leaves overseas companies struggling to obtain key information or reliant on outdated and inaccurate translations.

This is precisely where one of the core values of China Entry Hub's "on-the-ground" team lies. As local experts deeply embedded in the Chinese market, we are able to:

  • Monitor and review the official websites of various central and local government departments in real time.
  • Accurately interpret and distill the core requirements, deadlines, and changes from Chinese policy documents that are relevant to your specific business operations.
  • Provide precise business impact analysis, going beyond mere translation, to support your informed decision-making.

If you need to inquire about whether a specific product is subject to special regulations, the specific application requirements for a certain certification, or any policy details only published on Chinese platforms, please feel free to reach out. We are ready to provide you with professional information retrieval and insightful analysis services at any time.
