Logistics businesses clustered in Fuwei Village, in China's southern metropolis of Shenzhen have reported strong growth in their cross-border e-commerce trade this year.

Fuwei is known locally as the "international logistics village", as it neighbors the Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport and the Fuyong Port.
According to an official with one air logistics enterprise, nearly all cargo aircrafts leaving the airport are fully loaded with cross-border e-commerce packages.
"Almost all of our air freighters are fully loaded, with 60 to 70 percent of the goods being cross-border e-commerce shipments. Compared to last year, there has been an increase of approximately 20 percent," said Guo Junqiang, as he worked with his colleagues to load nearly 100 tons of goods onto a plane flying to Chicago.
Statistics show that cross-border e-commerce packages account for around 80 to 90 percent of the total shipping volume in this logistics hub.
"We noticed a significant increase in the number of packages after the Spring Festival, especially for those directly delivered to end consumers. The volume has more than doubled compared to the same period in the past," said Pang Jun, manager of an international logistics company.
Data from local authorities show that Fuyong Community, where Fuwei Village is located, had about 3,800 registered logistics companies in 2023, and now has over 4,300.
Conveyor belts in the warehouses of local logistics companies are running around the clock, with most packages handled here shipped out of Shenzhen port within 24 hours.
"Through the reform initiatives, the time it takes for goods to reach overseas consumers after the customs clearance at Shenzhen Customs has been reduced by 30 percent compared to before," said Liu Yangyang, a customs officer at the cross-border e-commerce management department of Shenzhen Customs.
