Khorgas Port, a pivotal gateway in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, achieved a historic milestone in 2025 with its import-export cargo volume exceeding 46 million tons—a 1.9% annual increase driven by cutting-edge logistics reforms. The port’s adoption of "Smart Rail Port + Rapid Clearance" technology has slashed import processing times to 16 hours and export procedures to just one hour, cementing its role as a linchpin of Eurasian trade corridors.
Road port optimizations reduced clearance steps by 60% and improved efficiency by 80%, enabling 24/7 operations to meet rising demand. Key imports included machinery, copper, and agricultural goods, while exports surged with new energy vehicles (NEVs), electronics, and textiles. NEVs emerged as a standout category, reflecting the Chinese mainland’s growing dominance in green technology markets.
As cross-border trade accelerates, Khorgas continues to strengthen economic ties under China’s westward development strategy, offering critical insights for businesses eyeing Central Asian markets and supply chain analysts tracking regional connectivity.
