With the deepening integration of the Belt and Road Initiative and the construction of Trans-Eurasian transportation corridors, economic and trade cooperation between China and Georgia is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities. Strategically located at the vital crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is not only a key hub in the "Middle Corridor" strategy but also a critical gateway for Chinese goods to enter the Caucasus region, the Black Sea coast, and the Turkish market. Since the China-Georgia Free Trade Agreement took effect in 2018, cooperation between the two nations has accelerated across various fields including infrastructure construction, energy development, and mechanical equipment. In particular, the demand for transporting oversized and heavy-dimensional cargo such as wind power equipment, engineering machinery, and power facilities has been continuously rising. Traditional sea freight requires detours via the Black Sea and suffers from unreliable transit times, rail transport is constrained by gauge changes and multiple loading/unloading operations, and air freight struggles to accommodate large equipment. Therefore, we officially launch the "China-Georgia Oversized & Heavy-Dimensional Cargo TIR Trucking Service," dedicated to establishing an efficient, stable, safe, and reliable professional overland transportation channel, injecting strong logistical momentum into the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.

The benefits unleashed by the China-Georgia FTA have created broad prospects for the operation of this dedicated service. With its advantageous geographical location and open free trade policies, Georgia has become an important springboard for Chinese enterprises to expand into the Eurasian market. In recent years, Chinese-invested projects in Georgia such as highway tunnels, hydropower stations, and industrial parks have been successively implemented, driving substantial demand for the cross-border transportation of special equipment and engineering materials. Concurrently, distinctive Georgian products like wine, minerals, and agricultural goods are increasingly favored by the Chinese market. The launch of this service precisely meets the needs of the evolving trade structure between the two countries, providing tailor-made end-to-end logistics solutions for enterprises on both sides.

This service relies on the TIR international road transport system to achieve efficient end-to-end customs clearance and direct two-way transportation. The TIR Convention, serving as a global pass for cross-border land transport, allows certified vehicles, once sealed by customs at the point of departure, to travel through countries including Kazakhstan, Russia, and Azerbaijan directly to Georgia without the need for repeated unpacking and inspection en route. This "one-lock-through" model can reduce border waiting times by over 60%, significantly enhancing supply chain responsiveness. Our fleet departs on a regular weekly schedule, traveling directly from industrial bases in North and East China to major Georgian cities such as Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi, while also handling return cargo. This establishes a stable two-way logistics cycle, providing customers with predictable and plannable transportation assurance.

At the two core ports of Alashankou and Khorgos in Xinjiang, we have established a comprehensive self-operated system. These locations are not merely geographical passages but core control points for service quality. We are equipped with a professional in-house customs clearance team proficient in the customs regulations of China, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and multiple other countries. They can efficiently handle complex documentation for customers, including ATA Carnets, commodity inspection and quarantine certificates, and certificates of origin. Regarding the special transit permits specific to oversized cargo, we possess mature declaration experience to ensure smooth customs clearance.

We have invested in and constructed a 100,000-square-meter modern warehousing base equipped with high-standard storage facilities and an intelligent management system. The base includes general cargo storage areas, constant temperature and humidity zones, customs-bonded warehouses, and dedicated yards for oversized cargo, meeting the storage needs of various types of goods. Here, goods can undergo consolidation and deconsolidation, packaging reinforcement, label replacement, and pre-customs processing, enabling flexible supply chain management. For engineering project materials, we also offer JIT (Just-In-Time) delivery services, helping clients achieve precise inventory control.

We provide one-stop double customs clearance service covering the entire journey. Considering the characteristics of the Georgian market, we have an in-depth understanding of its customs code rules, VAT refund procedures, and product certification requirements. This enables us to provide customers with compliant and efficient clearance solutions. Whether for regular trade goods or temporary import/export project equipment, we can handle the complete set of procedures on behalf of clients. This includes interfacing with Georgia's unique electronic customs declaration system, handling tax payments, and managing subsequent document returns, allowing customers to truly enjoy a hassle-free cross-border logistics experience.

We have achieved normalized operations with 7 weekly departures, establishing a stable transportation time efficiency system. Fixed schedules allow customers to plan their logistics as they would with regular flights, avoiding delivery delays caused by waiting for cargo consolidation. Each transport vehicle is equipped with 24/7 GPS positioning and temperature/humidity monitoring systems. Customers can track their cargo status in real-time through a dedicated digital platform. For high-value precision equipment, we can also provide value-added services such as shock-proof vehicles, constant temperature transport, and escort by technical engineers throughout the journey.

In the field of oversized and heavy-dimensional cargo transportation, we possess mature technical solutions. For special cargo such as wind turbine blades, hydropower units, and bridge components, we are equipped with various models of hydraulic axle trailers, combined lowbed trailers, and special traction vehicles. We can handle single items with maximum dimensions of 5.2 meters in width, 4.9 meters in height, and a weight of 180 tons. Each project undergoes comprehensive project management, including preliminary route surveys, bridge load calculations, permit processing, transport plan simulation, and contingency plan development, ensuring the safe delivery of special cargo.

From Chinese manufacturing bases to project sites in the Caucasus Mountains, this transportation corridor has become a vital link connecting China and Georgia. We successfully transported a batch of hydraulic turbine runners with a diameter of 4.8 meters to a hydropower project in Georgia, completing the journey in just 21 days, one week ahead of the original schedule. In 2023, we cumulatively transported over 5,000 cubic meters of engineering equipment to Georgia, achieving a customer satisfaction rate of 98%. These success stories validate the reliability and professionalism of the dedicated service.

With the ongoing improvement of the Trans-Caspian transportation corridor, the logistics channel between China and Georgia will become even more efficient. We will continue to optimize our network layout in Central Asia, deepen cooperation with local Georgian logistics enterprises, and explore intermodal transport models combining "truck + ferry." Future plans include launching specialized services for temperature-controlled goods and dangerous goods transportation, and gradually expanding to neighboring markets such as Armenia and Turkey.

Choosing our dedicated service means selecting a partner with a decade of experience in cross-border transportation in Central Asia. We not only provide transportation services but can also offer customers value-added services such as trade compliance consulting, supply chain financial support, and overseas tax planning. For long-term cooperative clients, we provide quarterly logistics analysis reports and cost optimization solutions, positioning ourselves as a strategic partner within our clients' supply chain systems.

Looking ahead, the potential for economic and trade cooperation between China and Georgia is immense. We will continue to enhance port clearance efficiency, improve emergency support systems in the Central Asian region, and increase digital investment to achieve end-to-end visual control. We believe this overland route connecting China and the Caucasus region will undoubtedly create more trade opportunities for enterprises of both countries.
