Shanxi Daily, reprinted by the Jincheng municipal government on 8 November 2026, said that on 7 November an international road truck carrying 13 tonnes of fresh vegetables cleared at Taiyuan Customs Wusu Customs and left Taiyuan Wusu Comprehensive Bonded Zone for Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The shipment is Shanxi's first use of the bonded plus TIR mode and opens a new international highway logistics channel from Taiyuan to Ulaanbaatar. The goods were purchased by Daodi Agriculture.
Inside the comprehensive bonded zone, the firm completed TIR declaration, customs declaration, inspection and sealing in one go. At the exit port, customs mainly checks TIR documents and customs seals and, in principle, does not reopen the cargo for inspection, so the goods can go through to Ulaanbaatar.
TIR is the International Road Transport system. Once declared, one carnet and one truck can move through, without repeated open-box checks while in transit in contracting states. Bonded plus TIR stacks the zone's bonded warehousing and entry-for-rebate benefits with TIR facilitation, so cargo can be consolidated in the zone, cleared locally and go straight overseas. Versus traditional highway transport, transit time improves by more than 50%.
Wusu Comprehensive Bonded Zone is Shanxi's only comprehensive bonded zone and continues management-operations separation cooperation with Shanghai Waigaoqiao. The model is described as replicable later toward Central Asia and Europe for equipment manufacturing, electromechanical goods, light industry and specialty agricultural products. Shippers should confirm TIR eligibility, perishable handling and exit-port arrangements with Wusu Customs and their forwarder for each load.
