Jan.17.2023

Russia allows dangerous goods to cross Amur River bridge from China to Russia as of January 30, 2023.

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on December 29 that allows for the transportation of tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, hazardous materials, and perishable goods across the Amur River Bridge into Russia. The decree will take effect on January 30, 2023.

It has been reported that as of January 3rd, the Kanji-Kurgan Multilateral Automobile Inspection Station serving the Amur River Cross-Border Bridge has now switched to operating 24 hours a day. However, traffic on the bridge will still halt during the night due to the need for customs clearance of goods. The Chinese Heihe Inspection Station will continue to operate according to its previous schedule, from 08:00 to 24:00 in Amur time.
