LHZTIR: A New Land Logistics Artery Connecting China-Poland Trade
In the heart of Central and Eastern Europe, Poland, with its hub position connecting Western and Eastern Europe and rapidly developing logistics infrastructure, is becoming one of the most dynamic logistics centers in Europe. As one of the fastest-growing economies in the European Union, Poland has established a comprehensive strategic partnership with China, and trade exchanges between the two countries in electronics, machinery, agricultural products, and other sectors continue to grow. With the deep alignment of the "Belt and Road" initiative and European investment plans, the demand for cargo flow between China and Poland has significantly increased. In response, LHZTIR officially launched the two-way TIR trucking service between China and Poland, offering regular weekly departures and door-to-door full truckload direct service, creating an efficient and reliable land logistics corridor.
A New Stage in China-Poland Economic and Trade Cooperation
Poland is China's largest trading partner in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2022, bilateral trade between the two countries exceeded $40 billion. China's exports to Poland of mechanical and electrical products, textiles, and plastics showed significant growth, while Poland's exports to China of high-quality agricultural products such as dairy, meat, cosmetics, as well as copper products and furniture, also maintained steady growth. Particularly as an important manufacturing base in Europe, Poland has significant potential for exports to China in automotive parts, electronic components, and other fields. However, traditional sea freight takes 35-40 days and is greatly affected by seasonal congestion at Baltic Sea ports; air freight is costly; and rail transport still faces challenges in last-mile delivery within Poland. To address this market pain point, LHZTIR provides a professional TIR trucking solution, controlling China-Poland transit time to 16-20 days and reducing costs by over 50% compared to air freight, offering a new logistics option for businesses in both countries.
Core Value of the TIR System
The TIR system, as an internationally recognized standard for cross-border road transport, demonstrates unique advantages on the China-Poland route:
Efficient customs clearance capability. Based on actual operational data, trucks using the TIR system have an average clearance time of only 3-5 hours at key transit countries such as Belarus and Ukraine, over 70% faster than conventional transport. This is due to the standardization of TIR documents and the customs mutual recognition mechanism among countries along the route. After vehicles are sealed at the point of origin, customs authorities in transit countries only check the integrity of the seal without repeated inspections, greatly improving transport efficiency.
Cargo security assurance. LHZTIR has established a three-layer protection system: digital seal technology triggers real-time alerts for any unauthorized opening;全程 temperature monitoring for temperature-sensitive goods, with data uploaded to the cloud every 15 minutes; dual-mode satellite positioning systems achieve sub-meter accuracy tracking. Statistics show that cargo damage rates using this system are 90% lower than the industry average.
Transport flexibility. Compared to the fixed schedules of rail transport, TIR trucks can flexibly adjust departure times and routes. LHZTIR provides direct services from 15 major industrial cities in China to six logistics hubs in Poland, including Warsaw, Łódź, and Gdańsk, and can offer special arrangements such as night transport and holiday transport based on customer needs.
Strategic Layout of Xinjiang Ports
The Alashankou and Horgos ports, serving as the western gateways for China-Europe land transport, play a crucial role in LHZTIR's transport network:
The Alashankou Port Operations Center covers 8,000 square meters and is equipped with an intelligent customs declaration system. Through direct data connections with the General Administration of Customs, automatic review of customs declarations is achieved, with average clearance time compressed to 2.5 hours. Particularly when handling high-value goods such as electronic products, professional teams provide pre-classification services and tax optimization solutions to help companies reduce compliance costs.
The multimodal transport center at Horgos Port integrates road and rail transport resources. Through an electronic data exchange mechanism with Kazakh customs, transit time for Chinese vehicles is controlled within 4 hours. In 2023, the volume of Poland-bound cargo handled at this port increased by 60% year-on-year, making it one of the fastest-growing land corridors for China-Europe trade.
The self-operated customs declaration teams at both ports are staffed with Polish-speaking professionals capable of directly handling technical documents from Polish importers, ensuring documentation complies with EU standards. This localized service simplifies the complex processes of traditional cross-border transport into a "one-stop" solution.
A 100,000-Square-Meter Intelligent Warehouse Network
LHZTIR has built over 100,000 square meters of modern warehouse facilities at China's major manufacturing bases and Poland's core logistics nodes:
The Chinese warehouse network centers on Shanghai Waigaoqiao, Shenzhen Yantian, and Chengdu Qingbaijiang, covering a total area of 60,000 square meters. The Shanghai bonded warehouse is equipped with a 32-meter-high automated storage system with a capacity of 50,000 pallets; the Chengdu cold chain warehouse is built to EU standards and can provide professional storage services for Polish dairy products and meat. All warehouses achieve seamless integration between WMS and TMS systems, with inventory accuracy reaching 99.9%.
The Polish warehouse layout covers three major logistics hubs in Warsaw, Łódź, and Gdańsk, with a total area of 40,000 square meters. The Warsaw warehouse is located at the intersection of European E30 road and A2 highway, equipped with a cross-border e-commerce processing zone capable of handling 20,000 orders per day; the Gdańsk warehouse is adjacent to the Baltic deep-water port, with a dedicated cold storage area of 5,000 cubic meters. These warehouses are all AEO certified by Polish customs, enabling 24-hour rapid clearance.
The intelligent management system supports multilingual interfaces. Polish customers can view inventory in real time through a localized platform, and the system can automatically generate replenishment plans based on sales forecasts. Application data shows that using this system increases customer inventory turnover efficiency by 35% and reduces warehouse operating costs by 20%.

The departure schedule follows a "4+2+1" model: four main departures from Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Zhengzhou every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday; two supplementary departures from Ningbo and Wuhan every Tuesday and Thursday; and one emergency departure on Sunday. This design ensures transport frequency while retaining flexibility to respond to unexpected demands.
Transport routes are precisely calculated. The northern route passes through Kazakhstan, Russia, and Belarus to Poland, covering approximately 9,500 kilometers; the southern route passes through Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Ukraine to Poland, covering approximately 9,200 kilometers. The intelligent dispatch system can automatically select the optimal route based on real-time road conditions, weather, and other factors.
Vehicle configurations strictly comply with EU standards. All trucks are equipped with Euro 6 emission engines and AEBS automatic emergency braking systems. The driver team undergoes professional training and holds qualifications recognized by both China and Poland, familiar with traffic regulations in countries along the route. The company purchases €5 million in liability insurance for each transport vehicle, providing customers with comprehensive protection.
