Current directions of cargo transportation from China to Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan

In the context of the global restructuring of logistics chains, the demand for road transportation from China to the EAEU countries is breaking records. According to the International Association of Transport Corridors (IATC), in 2024 the volume of cargo delivery from China to Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan increased by 72%. How can businesses adapt to the new realities and choose a reliable partner? Let's look at the key trends and solutions from BelPAM, an expert in international road freight transportation with 25 years of experience.

 

Russia: logistics corridors

 

Russia maintains its leadership in terms of import volume from China: in the first half of 2024, demand for transportation increased by 65%. Only through one strategic transport hub on the Russian-Chinese border, Zabaikalsk-Manchuria, the volume of transportation of foreign trade cargo increased by 10.6%. Main categories of cargo:

• Electronics and components (30%);
• Industrial equipment (25%);
• Goods for e-commerce (20%).

 

The main focus is on land routes. For example, through Kazakhstan and Mongolia, delivery times are reduced to 12–14 days. BelPAM offers optimized road transportation in these directions, using a fleet of 300+ modern Euro-5/6 road trains.

 

“Customers value multimodal solutions: for example, sea delivery to the port of Vladivostok + road transport or rail transportation to Moscow. But the key trend is the growing demand for “pure” road transportation for small and medium-sized consignments. Accuracy of deadlines and cargo insurance are critical here,” comments the head of the BelPAM logistics department.

 

Belarus: transit hub

 

Belarus is strengthening its position as a logistics bridge between the EAEU and Europe: 58% growth in transportation from China in 2024, with 40% of cargo going in transit to Poland, Germany, and Lithuania. Top queries:

• Auto parts;
• Construction materials;
• Medical equipment.

 

BelPAM uses its own logistics centers for cargo consolidation and distribution. This allows customers to reduce their costs by delivering consolidated shipments. The service is especially popular with small businesses: you pay only for the volume of your cargo, not for the entire container.

 

Example route: China (road transportation) → Minsk (customs clearance and warehousing) → Germany (turnkey delivery). Delivery time is from 18 days with a guarantee of cargo safety thanks to professional fastening and insurance.

 

Kazakhstan: the gateway to the Silk Road

 

Kazakhstan is demonstrating explosive growth (+80% by 2023), becoming a key link in the Belt and Road initiative. The following products go through the Khorgos checkpoint:

1. Solar panels and wind turbines;
2. Agricultural machinery;
3. Textiles and raw materials.

 

BelPAM specializes in land transportation through Kazakhstan, creating additional opportunities for customers. For example, for clients from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, we offer transit with CMR and transit declarations on a turnkey basis. This reduces delays at the border and the risk of fines.

 

How to reduce risks in 2025? Tips from BelPAM

 

1. Combine delivery formats. For example, container shipping is advantageous for large consignments, while express delivery by road is beneficial for urgent orders.
2. Monitor every stage. BelPAM's GPS monitoring service allows you to track your cargo in real time through your personal account.
3. Don't skimp on insurance. Changes in legislation increase risks.
