"The exports along our air cargo route to a BRICS country mainly consisted of cross-border e-commerce goods including clothing, footwear, bags, and various household items, primarily practical light industrial products favored by the Brazilians. Imports mainly consist of fresh salmon, cherries, and Chilean prunes, all of which are sourced through this route.
We have implemented round-the-clock operations at Xiamen airport's cargo handling site, effectively reducing processing costs and customs clearance time."
