Russian Post and Russian Railways have launched cargo delivery in postal and luggage wagons from China to Russia for the first time. A test launch of direct cross-border service for the carriage of postal and commercial cargo took place this week.

The first train left Hongchun station (China) to Vladivostok, where the cargo will undergo customs clearance. The technological process of the movement was developed by Russian Railways specialists. At first, the cars will be hooked up to the mail train Moscow - Vladivostok - Moscow, and then full trains will appear.

It is planned that the service will transport over 600 tonnes or more than 2.2 million mail items every month. It will become an alternative to road and air freight transportation in terms of delivery speed and cost and will be relevant for customers engaged in cross-border Internet trade.
