Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — K. Kadirov, representative of the Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan in China, examined the operation of customs, logistics, and cross-border trade infrastructure in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

During the visit, special attention was paid to the Kashgar Comprehensive Bonded Zone and opportunities to promote Uzbek products in the regional market.

The Kashgar Comprehensive Bonded Zone plays an important role in the city's foreign trade and logistics system in the western direction.

Conditions have been created on its territory for storing goods under customs control, conducting logistics operations, processing, international trade, and cross-border e-commerce.

The zone contains about 500,000 square meters of production and storage space, where more than 670 enterprises operate.

In addition to trade and logistics activities, export-oriented manufacturing is developing here, including the assembly of electronic products, as well as the processing of food and textile items.

In the customs clearance center of the Kashgar Customs, 38 employees perform customs declaration clearances, including operations related to border customs posts.

Services connected to the "Single Window" system, along with representatives of the comprehensive bonded zone and logistics sector, are also organized in one location.

During the visit, infrastructure for cross-border e-commerce was also studied. In particular, processes for receiving, identifying, sorting, temporarily storing, and preparing goods for export were reviewed.

Special attention was paid to the Kashgar Cross-Border E-Commerce Import and Export Goods Exhibition and Trading Center. Foreign products are displayed and stored at the center with the ability to sell them on a "view offline, order online" basis.

More than 3,000 types of goods are currently presented here.

The Customs Committee representative also viewed an exposition of products from Uzbekistan. Opportunities for displaying and storing Uzbek goods in Kashgar, as well as selling them through traditional trade channels and using cross-border e-commerce, were considered.
