"Our port has launched a 24-hour freight clearance service and set up a 'green channel' for the export of commercial vehicles, which allows the vehicles to pass through the port at any time of the day and ensures efficient and smooth customs clearance."

Over the years, the port has become a major channel for the export of Chinese-made automobiles to countries along the Belt and Road Initiative.

Last year, the port saw over 304,000 vehicle exports.
