Customs authorities at the Youyi Pass reported on April 22 that during the first quarter of 2026, imports and exports to ASEAN countries, primarily Vietnam and Thailand, maintained rapid growth. Agricultural product imports, including durian, saw concentrated increases. Efforts to develop emerging markets such as Cambodia and Malaysia have yielded notable results, with recovering manufacturing sectors in these nations driving strong demand for intermediate goods and machinery. Located in Pingxiang City, Guangxi, the Youyi Pass is China's largest land port for trade with ASEAN. Data shows that in the first quarter, the total value of goods supervised by Youyi Pass Customs reached 1604.8 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.7%. Exports totaled 1193.7 billion yuan, growing by 28.9%, while imports amounted to 411.1 billion yuan, up 7.6%. In terms of imports, agricultural products through the Youyi Pass in the first quarter were valued at 2.88 billion yuan, an increase of 88.9%. Fruit imports accounted for 2.53 billion yuan, more than doubling with a growth rate of 110%. Durian imports reached 55,000 tons, a 3.5-fold increase, and jackfruit imports were valued at 340 million yuan, rising by 21.8%. Customs analysis indicates that monitoring mechanisms have become more stable and mature this year, customs clearance processes have returned to normal, and concentrated demand for fruit before the Spring Festival led to active stockpiling by enterprises, contributing to the significant rebound in durian imports. On the export side, intermediate goods such as electronic components and electrical equipment saw notable growth. During the same period, automobile exports were valued at 3.53 billion yuan, a 2.1-fold increase, underscoring the port's ongoing role in supporting the industrial and supply chains connecting China and ASEAN.
