In 2022, Southwest China's Guizhou province developed an integrated bonded international land port, relying on a model known as "Dulaying Railway Logistics Port + Guiyang Free Trade Zone (Guiyang FTZ) + operation sites under customs supervision".

The initiative connects inland Guizhou nationally and globally, promoting coordinated development with coastal cities, facilitating river-sea transportation, and accelerating Guizhou's integration with Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Guiyang International Land Port leverages its proximity to Guiyang FTZ, enhancing services such as container booking, customs declaration, customs inspection, and the issuing of bills of lading, facilitating one-stop customs clearance. It can transport goods by rail to coastal ports for direct shipping, achieving seamless rail-sea intermodal transportation.

Over the past three years, the port has operated regular multi-directional freight train services. Northbound services connect to the China-Europe (Central Asia) Express; westbound services connect to RCEP member countries and ASEAN via the China-Laos Express; and southbound services operate via the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor Express and the Guizhou-Guangdong Express.

Last year, Guiyang International Land Port optimized customs clearance and port allocation processes, allowing goods to be declared, inspected, and released in Guiyang before departing overseas from Nansha Port in Guangzhou.

This pioneered the national "one-port" rapid customs clearance mode for rail-sea intermodal transportation, integrating customs and operations between ports, facilitating "one-time customs declaration, inspection and release" for Guizhou's export goods, reducing customs clearance times by 50 percent and transportation times by three to five days.

"In the first quarter of this year, Guiyang International Land Port and Qingzhen International Land Port handled 5,126 railway carriages carrying a total of 241,600 metric tons of goods, achieving 21 percent of the annual plan of 1.15 million tons. The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor Express operated 94 freight trains, a 324.16-percent year-on-year increase," said Zhang Yongjun, general manager of Guiyang International Land Port Co.

The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor is fully leveraging Guizhou's location advantage, enhancing the efficiency of goods circulation to and from inland ports, and gradually becoming a crucial gateway for Guizhou's goods to go global.
