Current Challenge

Belarus is a key partner for China in the Eurasian region and a critical transit country for the China-Europe railway and China-Russia TIR trucking. In 2026, Belarus’s position as a transit hub for China-Europe trade continues to grow. According to Chinese customs data, China-Belarus trade volume grew 15 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026. Chinese exports to Belarus are dominated by auto parts, machinery, electronics, and daily consumer goods. The traditional Eastern Corridor via Russia faces uncertainty due to geopolitical tensions, with some customers concerned about clearance stability. The Brest border crossing, a core reloading point for the China-Europe railway, experiences frequent congestion. Hong Kong plays an important role in Belarus trade. Hong Kong clients need a stable, efficient, and finance-integrated TIR trucking solution.
