In the first Singles' Day wave from 8 p.m. on October 20 to October 26, outbound cross-border parcels from the Yiwu Comprehensive Bonded Zone surpassed 3.6 million units, Yiwu Business Daily reported. Companies inside the zone prepared stock about a month in advance and added staff and automated sorting lines.
Nanbowan Supply Chain's bonded warehouse shipped more than 500,000 orders between October 20 and 25, while live-commerce operations such as East Buy Global procured via the bonded warehouse, with cross-border products including coenzyme Q10 and algal DHA oil each recording single-day sales of about 26 million yuan and 10 million yuan respectively.
The strong early-wave performance highlights how Yiwu's bonded cross-border import business is scaling rapidly, with operators urged to reserve warehouse capacity and trunk-line capacity for subsequent waves and watch for peak-time pressure on customs clearance and last-mile delivery.
