First Foreign-Trade Cargo via Pinglu Canal Clears Customs at Nanning Port

On September 12, 2026, with the arrival of the last batch of cargo at Nanning Port in Guangxi, the first batch of foreign-trade cargo for the Pinglu Canal completed customs clearance.

Nanning Customs had previously engaged with companies in advance, held briefings on policies to facilitate cargo clearance, and worked with terminal and port authorities to establish a customs-port-enterprise coordination mechanism to track key milestones such as cargo transport, port gathering and port arrival in real time.

On September 16, 2026, the first foreign-trade cargo for the Pinglu Canal is scheduled to depart from Nanning Port aboard the Beigang Nanning Borun, the first direct river-sea foreign-trade vessel on the Pinglu Canal, and travel via the canal directly to Can Tho Port in Vietnam.
