The trade volume between Hebei Province and SCO member states has grown significantly, with imports and exports in the first eight months increasing by 48.7% year-on-year.

China News Service, Shijiazhuang, September 11 (Zhao Danmei, Qiao Xinai) According to news from Shijiazhuang Customs on the 11th, the trade volume between Hebei Province and other SCO member states has increased from 3.44 billion yuan in 2001 to 71.54 billion yuan in 2025, an increase of nearly 20 times. "Hebei goods" such as automotive equipment, high-end manufacturing, and specialty agricultural products are selling well in other SCO member states.

In the first eight months of this year, Hebei's imports and exports to other SCO member states were 61.93 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48.7%. Among them, exports were 43.65 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.3%; imports were 18.28 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 73.7%.

Promoting the upgrading of logistics channels with other SCO member states is a key link in building a solid foundation for cooperation between the two parties. A few days ago, the first international road transport (TIR) ​​cargo in the Shijiazhuang Comprehensive Bonded Zone was officially launched. A batch of auto parts worth 1.301 million yuan left the country through Manzhouli Port and went directly to Moscow, Russia. This model combines the comprehensive bonded warehousing and distribution function with the advantages of TIR's "one declaration, one certificate, and one vehicle direct access". All procedures such as customs declaration, packing, and shipment are completed in one stop within the comprehensive bonded area, opening a new channel for Hebei enterprises to deeply explore the markets of other SCO member states such as Russia.

As a member of the SCO, Pakistan is an important partner in Hebei’s high-end equipment manufacturing capacity cooperation. The procurement project of 230 wide-gauge buses in Pakistan undertaken by CRRC Tangshan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. innovatively adopted the full-chain cooperation model of "complete vehicle export + component export + technology transfer + localized production". Up to now, 142 bus parts have been delivered with a value of 648 million yuan. With the preferential certificate of origin, the goods enjoy zero tariff treatment in Pakistan, saving enterprises a total of more than 20 million yuan in tariff costs.

Relying on the continuously optimized port business environment and the continuously smooth sea access, Hebei's advantageous industries have accelerated their entry into other SCO member states, and the vitality of foreign trade has continued to be released. Since the beginning of this year, Great Wall Motors parts have been shipped to Kazakhstan via three Central Asia trains, with a value of more than 40 million yuan. In the first eight months of this year, Hebei exported 132,000 tons of fresh pears to other SCO member states, a year-on-year increase of 65%.
