The article details

As the Belt and Road Initiative intersects with the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor in the Caucasus Mountains, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia are evolving from geographical hubs into strategic gateways for Eurasian trade. In the first half of 2024, their trade volumes with China surged by 22% year-on-year, driven by explosive growth in construction machinery, cold chain logistics, and cross-border e-commerce cargo. Yet traditional logistics models hit bottlenecks in this "crossroads of continents": sea freight takes 35–45 days and is plagued by port congestion, air freight costs are prohibitive for mid-low value goods, and railway routes are limited with weak last-mile delivery.

The Central Asia Trucking Caucasus TIR Trucking Line fills this market gap with forward-looking solutions. Leveraging the institutional advantages of the TIR Convention, the 集散 capacity of our Xinjiang hub, and a double customs clearance network covering all three countries, we offer a "door-to-door solution from any Chinese city to the Caucasus"—ushering in a new era of "precision and control" for Eurasian logistics.

1. TIR Core Advantages: Redefining Cross-Border Transport Rules

As one of the first Chinese logistics enterprises accredited under the TIR Convention (International Convention on the Transport of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets), our Caucasus line enjoys three institutional strengths that fundamentally solve traditional logistics pain points:

1. Single-Document Clearance: A Green Fast Lane with Zero Inspections en Route

The TIR system grants cargo the privilege of "one-time declaration, sealed transport, and multi-country recognition." Goods traveling from Chinese origin warehouses to Caucasus destinations are exempt from customs inspections or unpacking in transit countries, cutting clearance time by 60% compared to traditional models. For example, e-commerce parcels from Yiwu to Tbilisi via TIR trucking take just 12–15 days—20 days faster than sea freight and 80% cheaper than air freight. This model safeguards time-sensitive goods like Xinjiang grapes (fresh produce) and precision electronics, eliminating damage risks from repeated inspections.

2. Smart Dispatching: Transparent GPS Tracking Throughout the Journey

Our proprietary TIR transport management system enables three key functions: real-time vehicle tracking (accuracy ≤50m), dynamic route optimization, and automatic anomaly alerts. Clients can monitor cargo location, estimated arrival time, and even key checkpoints (e.g., Alashankou Port, Tbilisi Customs) via an exclusive platform. A construction machinery company transporting oversized equipment to Azerbaijan used the system to avoid winter ice 路段 in the Gudauri Mountains, improving delivery efficiency by 15% with zero delays.

3. Full-Coverage Double Customs Clearance: Local Experts in All Three Countries

Unlike ordinary freight forwarders with limited clearance capabilities, we have dedicated local teams in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, well-versed in each country’s customs policies:
  • Georgia: Utilizes "fast-track channels" for e-commerce parcels, reducing clearance time to 4 hours;

  • Azerbaijan: Processes ATA carnet applications for energy equipment, speeding up temporary import clearance by 50%;

  • Armenia: Designs "pre-clearance 商检" for cold chain goods, shrinking customs time from 24 to 8 hours.With over 3,000 complex cargo clearances and a 99.7% success rate, we ensure seamless integration from Chinese export declaration to transit and destination clearance.

2. Door-to-Door Service Network: Nationwide Collection, Three-Country Direct Delivery

In Horgos Free Trade Zone, our 80,000m² modern transit center boasts three core capabilities:
