As of September 24, the international business of Xinjiang Postal Branch generated a revenue of 138 million yuan (about 19.38 million US dollars), with a year-on-year increase of 67 percent, completing 112 percent of the target and achieving the annual budget goal ahead of schedule.

Since the beginning of this year, Xinjiang Postal Branch has taken innovative measures such as accelerating the transformation into the integration of postal services, commercial express services, freight and warehousing, expanding cross-border e-commerce services, and strengthening the international cross-border logistics network, and successfully achieved stable business growth in the five Central Asian countries and Russia. Especially in the context of the development of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Xinjiang Postal Branch has actively promoted its innovative practices like the intensive supervision model in Kashgar Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and provided efficient logistics support for the economic and trade exchanges among the Belt and Road countries, demonstrating its resilience and vitality in the transformation of international business.

Xinjiang Postal Branch has actively integrated into the development of cross-border e-commerce in the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone. It has actively expanded cooperation with leading cross-border e-commerce platforms, and established direct partnership with Cainiao, OZON and TEMU. It has set up quick response mechanisms to customer needs and complaints, and implemented targeted marketing solutions featuring “one client one policy”. At the same time, Xinjiang Postal Branch has expanded its procurement list of international channel providers, and established a resource pool of channel providers for the business of China Express, laying a solid foundation for its commercial channel business. It has also collaborated with postal branches of other provinces to launch services featuring “dedicated route transportation plus port support”, and expanded cross-border e-commerce dedicated routes to countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Pakistan, providing strong support for the steady and long-term development of its international business.

Xinjiang Postal Branch has kept optimizing the development of international transportation channels. As the sole cross-border e-commerce logistics provider in the region, Xinjiang Postal Branch has efficiently supported the public service platforms of different ports to push the cross-border e-commerce waybill data through its multi-port layout and coordinated development. Since the beginning of this year, it has successively expanded the international road mail transportation from Kashgar to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, the cross-border logistics transportation channels to Türkiye via Osh in Kyrgyzstan and the international railway mail transportation via China-Europe (Central Asia) freight trains from Urumqi to Almaty, Kazakhstan. In addition, Xinjiang Postal Branch has reinforced the functions of offices of exchange. As the three major international mail units in Tacheng, Kashgar and Torugart were put into operation successively, it has fostered a new service pattern of customs clearance with the coordination of the ports in northern and southern Xinjiang, and enabled significant expansion and upgrade of the international highway network. Presently, Xinjiang Postal Branch has preliminarily formed an international transportation network structure with Urumqi and Kashgar as the central nodes, supplemented by such ports as Khorgos, Baketu, Alashankou, Jeminay, Torugart and Khunjerab, with “postal plus commercial” dedicated routes independently operated by postal enterprises covering the five Central Asian countries, Pakistan, Russia and other countries.
