Aug 25 — A Western Land-Sea New Corridor cross-border road shuttle completed the first trial using documents adapted to the UN Convention on the Transferable Documents of Title to Goods. The fully loaded shuttle, carrying communications equipment and other cargo, departed Chongqing Nanpeng bonded logistics center and exited China via Youyiguan port to Vietnam on a roughly 1,400 km route. The trial, based on the UN convention, marks a key step toward cross-border road-transport documents functioning as certificates of title.
