The reporter learned from Changsha Customs on the 21st that in the first three quarters of this year, Changsha Customs supervised a total of 783 China-Europe express trains and 64,000 boxes, an increase of 84.7% and 72.8% respectively year-on-year.

Since the unification of the brand of China-Europe express trains in 2016, as of October 14, the cumulative number of China-Europe express trains (Changsha) has exceeded 2,000.

Since the beginning of this year, Hunan has added 4 new routes such as "Changsha-Kiev", the main export countries are Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, etc., and the main export goods are daily necessities, furniture, automobiles and auto parts.

In the near future, Changsha Customs will carry out the pilot project of "Railway Express" mode and "Export Direct Loading" mode at Changsha International Railway Port, which will effectively alleviate the pressure on railway station operations, reduce the logistics links and costs of export enterprises, and further improve the throughput capacity of China-Europe Express (Changsha).
