How to transport from China to Afghanistan by rail?

Summary: You can take the Nantong Railway. On August 25, at the Nantong Railway East Freight Station, the staff of Nanjing Customs from Central Asia were ready to go.

The first train (Nantong-Hailatun, Afghanistan) walked by. On the same day, the first train of the Central Asia International Special Train (Nantong-Hairatun, Afghanistan) departed from the East Railway Freight Station of Nantong Railway in Jiangsu.

Directions:

The special train is from Haimen City, Nantong.

A national freight container line to Hailaton, Afghanistan, plans to carry out two two-way international imports and exports** per month, with no less than 90 TEUs per month.

The special train mainly relies on Nantong's convenient transportation conditions and strong industrial, distribution and distribution capabilities to declare foreign trade products from Dieshiqiao Port in Haimen Industrial Park and from Alashankou, Xinjiang.

Exit, via Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

Finally arrived in Kharathon, Afghanistan.

At present, there are very few railways from China to Afghanistan, and the frequency is not fixed. However, if the customer needs to go to the northern city of Afghanistan, and the time requirement is urgent, and can accept the relatively expensive freight, our company can arrange a railway train to Afghanistan.

Based on our company's many years of experience in Afghanistan transportation, it is best to take sea and land transportation. The two transit countries, Iran and Pakistan, are both very politically stable countries and will not have any problems.

Now there is a railway train from Xi'an, China to Afghanistan, one flight a week is quite stable, Iran may have to sanction again, many ships are not going, and many goods from Pakistan are not allowed to be transshiped, and the railway will become a trend, China-Afghanistan 15 days to the web link.

They've been doing it before.

At present, the situation in Iran is unstable, and the railway from China to Afghanistan is also a good reference route: Eastern Chinese cities - Xi'an - Khorgos Sarmahan - Hairaton - Mazar-i-Sharif - Kabul.

Eastern Chinese cities - Xi'an - Khorgos Sarmahan - Salah - Duharon - Herat - Kandahar - Kabul.

There are railways to Iran, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the territory of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Moreover, the earliest railway in Afghanistan was built by Amanullah Khan from Kabul to Paghman.

In addition, Afghanistan has a railway located in the northern border region of Afghanistan, which connects with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, starting from Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, crossing the Amu Darya River from Termez, Uzbekistan, to Mazar Sharif, with a total length of 15 kilometers in Afghanistan.

There are two ways for China to ship to Afghanistan, one is to ship to the port of Abbas in Iran, (mainly by boxes under 26 tons).

China (Ningbo, Shanghai) -- Abbas (truck pulled), Ismu Karan (pulled by another truck), Herat (after customs clearance, then changed to a truck, Lachin Dahar has to pay some customs clearance fees to continue to tow), Kabul (under normal circumstances, the whole journey takes 35-40 days).

The normal situation refers to: Iran's Afghanistan port, don't press the port, Iran's policy on transshipment to third countries remains unchanged, there are more than 1,500 kilometers from Hailat to Kabul after customs clearance, Afghanistan has been fighting for many years, the longer the road, the more risky, and the road is also blocked by Kandahar customs, and if you don't give it, you will find trouble.

Second, sea to Pakistan Dankarachi Port (mainly heavy containers, more than 26 tons of boxes).

China (Ningbo, Shanghai) – Karachi – Peshawar --- Jalalabad --- Kabul (normal 35-40 days).

The normal situation is that Pakistan does not press Hong Kong, and prays that Pakistan will not go to war against Afghanistan, which has been bitter enemies for many years, and the disputed territory of Peshawar. Ju said that this place is leased by Pakistan to Afghanistan for 100 years, but now more than 120 years have passed, and some Afghans say that the so-called Taliban, most of which are impersonated by Pakistani soldiers, do not let this neighbor develop steadily and strongly, and the strong will take back the leased land.

This is the most unsafe road, and the Afghan freight company is not for loading heavy goods, but can compete for more money, and will never take this road.

And now there are railways:

The railway from China to Afghanistan now has two places to load goods, one, Yiwu, China.

Yiwu--- Alashankou--- Tashkent--- Hailaton 12 days (3-5 days by road to Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif).

Second, Nantong, China.

China Nantong --- Alashankou --- Tashkent --- Hailaton 12 days (3-5 days by road to Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif).

The difference between the two places: Yiwu can be on the groceries, most of the goods can be received, it is very beneficial to the Afghan LCL company, there is no political participation in the operation, but there are more than 300 foreign-funded enterprises in Yiwu Afghanistan, which can be said to be the most concentrated place in Afghanistan.

For the time being, the departure from Nantong can only be on the refreshing goods, and the product name is less than 5. Before October, the train can not do tax refund, only to do market procurement declaration of goods, generally the best to be able to receive after October, Nantong is close to Haimen Home Textile City and Kunshan photovoltaic base, the supply is also sufficient. There will be more policies in the follow-up for the trains promoted by the local **.

Take the railway to Hailatun, and then to Kabul is only less than 400 kilometers, or many years of old road, the road will take a day, relatively safe, and then to Mazar-i-Sharif, it will be faster, more than 40 kilometers of road. The bus will arrive in 1 hour faster.

Q: Some people always ask that railways are more expensive than sea transportation, so why do we take railways?

A: Is safety important, is speed important? I just want to ask you rhetorically, I am safer than you, 20 days faster than you, excuse me.

For countless years, until sea level ** turned Afghanistan into a coastal state.

Afghanistan is not close to the sea, is it? Is it going through Pakistan?

If you take the rail transportation from China to Afghanistan, it is safe and the transportation time is fast. It is an efficient and convenient transportation channel. And it can be loaded and departed from two places in Yiwu, Jiangsu, to the Hyalatun railway station on the Afghan side.

The risk of losing goods by train is much reduced, and the transit time is very fast, about 12 days.

At present, sea freight is mostly used, from China to Pakistan or Iran, and then through the two-way inland transportation to Afghanistan. The transportation time should be relatively slow, and then the safety risk of two-way cargo transportation is potential. However, this method is used more and is more perfect in operation.

There are about two advantages of Afghan railways compared with sea transportation: 1. Speed 2Low-risk train routes:

Train duration: 13 days for Hailaton, 13 days for Salahs, 17 days for Duharon, 17 days for Tehran, 19 days for Herat.

Railways are safe and fast, and shipping costs are lower than railways!

Afghanistan railway time is relatively fast! Cut the time in half and increase efficiency!

Sea freight can be door-to-door and rail to station.

Sea freight: Cheap and long.

Railway: **High, short time.
