Border Port

Border Port refers to a designated location at a national boundary or customs frontier, approved by the government, where people, goods, and means of transport are allowed to enter and exit and where customs, inspection and quarantine procedures are handled. In foreign trade, it is typically used for land transport (such as road and rail) and some inland waterway transport scenarios, and is a key node in the international logistics chain. Use cases include: land import/export customs declaration, transit transport, border small-amount trade, cross-border e-commerce land transport corridors, etc. Notes: Different ports may have different opening hours, permissible commodity scopes, and customs clearance procedures; enterprises need to confirm whether a port has the relevant qualifications (such as designated supervision sites) and allow time for inspection, transshipment, etc. Compared with 'Seaport' and 'Airport', Border Port emphasizes land contiguity and often involves customs cooperation and coordination between two countries. Unlike a 'Free Trade Zone', a border port does not necessarily provide tax incentives; it focuses on customs clearance and regulatory functions.
