Urumqi, July 21 /Xinhua/ — In January-June 2026, 219,000 vehicles were exported through the Khorgos checkpoint /Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China/, an increase of 25.7 percent compared to the same period last year, according to data from Khorgos Customs.
Thanks to its geographical advantages and benefits as a logistics channel, the Khorgos checkpoint has become the largest land border crossing in China for the export of commercial vehicles.
At the same time, in the first six months of the current year, both the total volume of car exports through this checkpoint in quantitative terms and its growth rates reached record levels for the same period.
Currently, vehicles manufactured in China are mainly supplied through Khorgos to countries in Central Asia, including Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Their sales area also covers more than 10 countries in Western Asia, Eastern Europe, and other regions of the world involved in the joint implementation of the “Belt and Road” initiative.
As the export product lineup is continuously optimized, the share of passenger and commercial vehicles using new energy sources has increased significantly, becoming a new distinctive feature in vehicle exports from China through the Khorgos checkpoint.
Lian Hao, CEO of the Korgos international freight forwarding company Haocheng, reported that in the first half of 2026, his company exported more than 3,600 commercial vehicles through Korgos with a total value of 730 million yuan, primarily supplying Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Azerbaijan, and other countries. At the same time, after-sales service points for the exported vehicles were established in some foreign cities, he noted.
Li Hanxuan, Deputy Head of the Road Traffic Supervision Department of Khorgos Customs, told a Xinhua News Agency correspondent in an interview that, considering the needs of enterprises engaged in the export of commercial vehicles, the local customs has taken comprehensive measures, including the implementation of a fast customs clearance regime for vehicles delivered to overseas customers with the help of driver-carriers, and the use of intelligent inspection equipment, resulting in an overall increase of 80 percent in customs clearance efficiency. -0-
