Manzhouli, China's leading inland port on the China-Russia border, recorded 411 million yuan (US$51.38 million) in customs revenue in January.
The figure was about one and a half times more than the previous year, according to Manzhouli customs in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in north China.
Freight transport contributed most to the revenue hike. The railways, shouldering about 95 percent of the freight transport in Manzhouli, dealt with 1.6 million tons of freight transport, up 40 percent from the same period last year.
The imports mainly consist of wood, crude oil and chemical products, and the exports mainly include mechanical and electrical products, vegetables, fruits and textiles.
