[ASEAN Special Line] China-Laos-Thailand express train is scheduled to be added from Zhengzhou to Madap, Thailand

China News Service, Zhengzhou, October 20 (Reporter Kan Li) Zhengzhou Customs reported on the 20th that the China-Laos-Thailand express train (Zhengzhou-Madap) departed from Zhengzhou International Dry Port in Henan, exited through Mohan Port in Yunnan, and ran for 5 to 6 days, finally arriving at Madap Station in Thailand.

The China-Laos-Thailand express train is an important expansion of the China-Europe freight train (Zhengzhou) route system, and is also a new "passenger car-based" international trade artery between China and ASEAN. Madap Station is another direct station opened in the ASEAN direction after Laem Chabang Station in Thailand.

According to Zhengzhou Customs, the train carried a total of 848 tons of tires, machinery parts, plywood and other commodities, of which 480 tons were chemical raw materials produced by local new materials companies in Henan and were targeted for supply to the chemical industry of Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor. The first train has further opened up Henan’s international logistics channel to ASEAN.

In order to ensure efficient customs clearance of trains, Zhengzhou Station Customs, which is affiliated with Zhengzhou Customs, provides guidance on commodity classification in advance, and uses measures such as "railway express" and "inspect first before shipment" to increase customs clearance efficiency by 20%.

Statistics show that in the first nine months of this year, a total of 2,948 China-Europe freight trains (Zhengzhou) operated, carrying 286,000 containers, a year-on-year increase of 30.6% and 26.6% respectively, maintaining a stable growth trend. With the opening of Madap Station, China-Europe Railway Express (Zhengzhou) has built a three-dimensional network of "30 overseas direct stations + 10 entry and exit ports", with business covering more than 40 countries and more than 140 cities.
