A special railway train, consisting of 46 containers carrying household items, home appliances, and electronic products, departed on Tuesday (November 11) from China’s Hunchun railway checkpoint headed directly for Moscow. This event marked the official launch of the Sino-Russian postal container train “Hunchun-Moscow,” which will carry out the specific cross-border delivery of postal items between China and Russia along with regular trade goods between the two countries, thereby contributing to the creation of an efficient logistics corridor between Hunchun and Moscow. Much of this is e-commerce deliveries from companies such as Alibaba, Taobao, Yandex, and Wildberries.
Hunchun is located in the eastern part of China’s Jilin province, at the junction of the state borders between China, Russia, and North Korea.
The Hunchun checkpoint administration has adopted special measures to improve customs clearance efficiency, such as introducing a 10-hour working regime at the road checkpoint and a 24/7 working regime at the railway checkpoint.
The Hunchun-Moscow route follows on from the launch of the “Hunchun Makhalino” service, which began in November 2023. Makhalino is in Russia’s Primorsky Krai region in the Russian Far East. A total of 164 special trains have been dispatched, and over 380,000 items have been transported, facilitating Sino-Russian trade exchanges and the development of cross-border e-commerce between the two countries.
