A new distribution center for imported commodities authorized by the Chongqing Free Trade Area (CFTA) recently opened in Chongqing's Wanzhou district. The center was developed by Liangjiang New Area and Wanzhou district.
Relying on Liangjiang's Belt and Road Commodity Exhibition & Trading Center, CFTA has built seven distribution centers in Sichuan and Chongqing, covering a total operating area of more than 2,300 square meters.
The Wanzhou distribution center covers an area of more than 200 sq m and sells wine, snacks, mother and baby products, cosmetics, and daily necessities imported from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Customers can try the imported commodities at the offline distribution center and place orders online to purchase goods from all over the world.
Liangjiang's Belt and Road Commodity Exhibition & Trading Center covers an area of 47,000 sq m and has 30 exhibition halls for goods from different centers. It sells 54,000 types of items, including food, alcoholic beverages, watches, bags, shoes, cosmetics, and handcrafts.
In the future, CFTA will build more distribution centers in other districts and counties to allow more customers to get high-quality imported goods.
John Edwards, the UK trade commissioner for China, praised Chongqing over its rise as a burgeoning center in intelligent manufacturing.
