Second TIR logistics hub opens in western China to advance trade

A new IRU-accredited TIR logistics hub has opened in Urumqi, China, a key transit city along the Belt and Road Initiative.

 

The Urumqi TIR Logistics Hub consolidates all essential transit services under one roof: customs clearance, warehousing, cargo handling, route development, and transport-capacity matching.

 

Xinjiang International Land Port Chairman Junjiang Si said, “The establishment of the Urumqi TIR Logistics Hub will further open up ‘door-to-door’ corridors for international road transport and trade, in both directions.”

 

“In addition to TIR, the Urumqi TIR Logistics Hub offers services such as warehousing, cargo handling and multimodal solutions, optimising transport and trade,” he added.

 

IRU Director of TIR and Transit Tatiana Rey-Bellet said, “Building on Urumqi’s strategic advantages and IRU’s 75 years of experience advancing TIR, the hub will further facilitate trade along China-Europe transport corridors, bringing more opportunities and benefits to supply chain players in the region and beyond.” Read more
