A train loaded with more than 1,500 tons of goods, including mattresses, children’s products, and ceramic tiles, will pass through the Khorgos International Center for Border Cooperation in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and eventually arrive in Almaty. It will take nearly 11 days to travel one way.
On the return journey, nearly 1,300 tons of agricultural products will be transported from Kazakhstan to Guiyang.
Kazakhstan has launched a pilot project at the checkpoint this year to automate issuing electronic permit forms based on the CargoAlem electronic queue system module, designed to exclude human errors and corruption risks.
