Main cargo types
The service will accept bookings for a broad range of export general cargo suitable for rail transport, including automotive parts, electronic components, light industrial products and daily consumer goods.
Supporting services
• Reliable transit times and predictable delivery. The China-Europe Railway Express will operate to a fixed schedule along a designated route, with direct service to Moscow. Compared with maritime routes involving a longer detour, the service is expected to significantly reduce transit times and avoid uncertainties such as port congestion and extreme weather, supporting reliable delivery.
• End-to-end control and cargo security. The rail journey will be monitored throughout, and cargo status can be tracked. This helps reduce the risk of cargo damage and supports the safe transport of goods across borders.
• Customs support and convenient booking. Services include booking, export customs declarations and cross-border customs clearance.
• Flexible logistics solutions. Logistics plans can be tailored to customers’ requirements, including door-to-door transport.
