HOHHOT, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Sep, 2018 ) :As 10 refrigerated trucks loaded with fruits and vegetables crossed the China-Mongolia border Thursday, the two countries inaugurated their first "green channel" for cross-border trade of farm produce.
From now on, trucks with authorised stickers running between the border cities of Erenhot and Zamyn-Uud will be given priority in customs clearance, according to Zhang Hongwei, chief of the customs in Erenhot.
China and Mongolia will also share data on cargo lists and declaration information and jointly supervise the produce shipped between the two countries, Zhang said.
"The green channel will facilitate the clearance procedures and cut time and cost so as to minimize the loss of perishable farm produce during shipping," he added.
Trade volume through the crossing between Erenhot and Zamyn-Uud accounts for more than 70 percent of cross-border trade between China and Mongolia.
In the first eight months of this year, China's export of farm produce through the crossing reached 330 million Yuan (about 47 million US Dollars), up 23.4 percent year on year.
