Yiwu’s creative products can be efficiently delivered globally thanks to its world-class supply chain system, advanced integrated logistics network, and efficient cross-border e-commerce customs clearance services.
Mature Supply Chain and Rapid Response Capabilities
“Delivery within a week”: He Lihong, President of the Yiwu Brand Development Promotion Association, points out that relying on the world’s most mature supply chain (comprehensive product range, rapid response, and abundant innovation), creative products can be delivered globally within a week of a customer submitting an online request.
Strong Industrial Foundation: Yiwu is the world’s capital of small commodities, with approximately 80% of the world’s small commodities shipped from here. In 2025, Yiwu’s total import and export volume reached 836.5 billion yuan, ranking first among counties in China, providing a solid foundation for the rapid production and distribution of creative products.
Advanced Integrated Logistics Network
Diversified International Logistics Channels: Yiwu has built an efficient integrated logistics network connecting Asia and Europe and radiating globally. **Railways:** Efficient connections have been established with 26 international rail freight lines, creating an international logistics network covering over 50 countries and more than 160 cities. The Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe (YXE) freight train, fully loaded with goods, is a crucial channel.
**Roads:** TIR freight trucks offering door-to-door service can reach Moscow in approximately 10 days from Yiwu.
**Sea and Air Freight:** Leveraging the Yiwu International Logistics Center and other inland ports, and collaborating with Shanghai and Ningbo ports, “one-stop” services such as sea freight are provided. A multimodal transport system is also available.
**Comprehensive Logistics Infrastructure:** As a major inland port in China, the Yiwu International Logistics Center exports 400,000 standard containers annually. Furthermore, a new international logistics center (inland port terminal) is under construction, which will further enhance logistics capabilities. Global Influence and Specific Cases of Creative Products
**Global Bestsellers of Specific Products:** Creative products have evolved from simple souvenirs into innovative carriers that integrate culture, technology, and memory. For example, since October 2025, over one million uniquely designed refrigerator magnets have been shipped daily from Yiwu to destinations worldwide. Creative products such as smart wearable devices incorporating AI technology (e.g., translation headphones, AI glasses) are also experiencing booming orders and selling globally.
**Efficient Customs Clearance and E-commerce Services:** In the Yiwu Comprehensive Bonded Zone, customs and declaration services ensure that “Made in Yiwu” products reach the world at top speed. Customs’ “inspection before shipment” model and customized solutions such as cross-border e-commerce tariff guarantee insurance have effectively improved customs clearance efficiency. Yiwu has become one of the cities with the largest cross-border e-commerce bonded import volume in my country.
