Manzhouli, China's leading inland port on the China-Russia
border, recorded 411 million yuan (US$51.38 million) in customs
revenue in January.
The figure was about one and a half times more than the previous
year, according to Manzhouli customs in the
Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China.
Freight transport contributed most to the revenue hike. The
railways, shouldering about 95 percent of the freight transport in
Manzhouli, dealt with 1.6 million tons of freight transport, up 40
percent from the same period last year.
The imports mainly consist of wood, crude oil and chemical
products, and the exports mainly include mechanical and electrical
products, vegetables, fruits and textiles.
