International trade is developing steadily! A cross-border highway shuttle bus loaded with second-hand small cars from the Western Land Sea New Channel recently drove out of the Nanpeng Highway Bonded Logistics Center (Type B) in Chongqing Highway Logistics Base, leaving the Mohan Port in Yunnan Province. It will arrive in Vientiane, Laos, in 4 days.

"Within two days of last weekend, our company sent out 56 cross-border highway shuttles to Laos, Myanmar, and other countries." Ding Shunli, general manager of Chongqing Shunjunyi Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd., said that before, it took about a month for goods to be exported to ASEAN countries through river sea transportation. Nowadays, goods can be transported by cross-border highway buses as quickly as 3 days, greatly improving the logistics efficiency.

This road logistics base is located in Banan District, Chongqing City. Since its construction was started in 2010, it has formed open platforms such as a bonded logistics center, a cross-border highway shuttle bus for the new land and sea corridor in the west, and an ASEAN commodity collection city. It has now developed into an important carrier for the construction of the new land and sea corridor in the west, a road logistics hub for the dual city economic circle in the Chengdu Chongqing region, and an ASEAN international trade service headquarters base.

According to Yang Min, the person in charge of Chongqing Highway Logistics Base, as one of the three main organizational and operational modes of the new land sea corridor in the west, cross-border highway shuttle buses are operated and built by Chongqing Public Transport ASEAN International Trade Logistics Co., Ltd. More and more Chinese goods are traveling to the world through cross-border highway buses, and more and more goods from around the world are entering China through this. Currently, there are 11 transportation routes for cross-border highway buses to ASEAN, Central Asia, and South Asia, forming a cross-border highway transportation network that links Europe and Central Asia and covers ASEAN.

According to statistics, as of February of this year, the cross-border highway shuttle buses along the new land sea corridor in the west have accumulated more than 12000 trips, with a total commodity value of about 7.8 billion yuan. This year, the cross-border highway shuttle bus is even more "accelerating", achieving a "good start". From January to February, a total of 903 vehicles were dispatched, with a total commodity value of about 683 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 502% and 625%, respectively.

"The next step is to focus on enriching transportation routes, arranging logistics nodes, expanding cold chain logistics, promoting the construction of cross regional platforms, and exploring the integration of commerce and trade, so as to promote resource sharing and connectivity," said Zeng Yi, General Manager of Chongqing Public Transport ASEAN International Trade Logistics Co., Ltd.

On March 21, a reporter saw goods from all over the world gathered here for online consumers to choose from at Jingdong Global Shopping Xinancang, located in Chongqing Highway Logistics Base.

"Since the beginning of the new year, the average daily order volume has reached 7000 units, especially the sales of maternal and infant products, health care products, beauty products, and other products are good." Wang Jing, warehouse manager of Jingdong Global Purchasing Xinan Warehouse, introduced that at present, there are about 320 merchants stationed in Xinan Warehouse, with more than 3300 products.

Not only is there a wide range of goods, but also its high delivery efficiency is one of the advantages of JD Global's purchase of Sinan Warehouse. In the warehouse, automated tracks crisscross each other, and various goods fall into the distribution openings in an orderly manner before being sorted and loaded. The staff are busy checking orders, selecting goods, and packaging goods.

"The warehouse makes orders and purchases them in advance based on the sales situation of last month. After users place orders, they immediately enter the intelligent sorting process, greatly improving the transportation efficiency." Wang Jing said that at present, the business of the Southwest Warehouse can basically radiate throughout the southwest region, and orders in the central urban area of Chongqing can achieve "placing orders in the morning and receiving goods on the same day.".

At present, Chongqing Highway Logistics Base has become one of the four major freight hubs that Chongqing focuses on building. The base has successively attracted more than 70 leading commercial and logistics enterprises such as JD, Huanancheng, Shunfeng, Shentong, and more than 5000 secondary investment attracting enterprises, comprehensively forming four industrial clusters of comprehensive logistics, professional market, e-commerce industry, and international trade. The logistics base has achieved a cumulative market transaction value of over 433.4 billion yuan.
