Chinese cross-border movements normalising


The International Transport Union (IRU) reports that TIR transports have started again now that China has lifted its Covid-19 measures and gradually resumed normal operations for international goods movements.

 

Five Kyrgyz TIR trucks carrying e-commerce goods departed from China’s inland city of Kashgar, marking the first TIR movement after the pandemic in this area. The TIR trucks exited China via the Irkeshtam border and continued their journey into Kyrgyzstan.

 

Along with this positive development, major borders between China and neighbouring countries, such as Mongolia and Kazakhstan, are also taking active steps to resume normal cross-border movements, allowing foreign trucks to enter, easing Covid-19 health restrictions, and preparing for increased transit flows.
