China’s TIR system saw swift growth in 2024

23.02.2025

China’s adoption of the TIR system resulted in unprecedented growth of the TIR transport sector in 2024, the International Road Transport Union (IRU) reports.

The number of TIR operators and vehicles in China grew by over 400%. The number of TIR movements to and from China surged by 88%, with transport operators from eight countries engaging in TIR activities within the region. A total of 35 border crossing points and inland cities facilitated these movements, supporting more than 50 cross-border TIR routes.

In 2024, five IRU-accredited TIR logistics hubs were established in key inland trade cities: Kashgar, Urumqi, Zhengzhou, Shenyang, and Chengdu, according to IRU. These hubs provide essential customs, warehousing, and cargo handling services, reducing processing times to as little as two hours.
