QUOTE CHECK
How to check a Khorgos line quote before accepting it
When the written Khorgos quote arrives, do not look only at the total. Check validity, the Kazakhstan routing, destination customs and the charges included or excluded. This line has no published day count; ask for timing in the same written response.
- Routing: Xinjiang → Kazakhstan → Uzbekistan → Turkmenistan → Iran
- No Kyrgyz 0.4% on the Khorgos line
- Formal quotes come by email with a validity date
- No Khorgos day count is published
Routing and validity
The quote should name Khorgos, not reuse another line's day table. The corridor runs through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan to Iran. Keep the RFQ number and validity date. Ask for a revised quote if weight, volume, cargo or destination customs changes.
Included charges
The scope includes full linehaul freight, China-side warehousing and handling, China export declaration, and overseas transit-agency fees. If any item is unclear in the letter, ask before accepting.
Excluded charges
Destination clearance, insurance, inspection, securing or reinforcement, lifting, extra overseas costs and any over-limit portion are separate. The Kyrgyz 0.4% is a Wuqia-line tax and is not added to Khorgos.
Delivery and clearance
Match the destination customs point with the quote. Iran entry is via Sarakhs. Delivery is hub to customs under CPT / DAP, not door-to-door or DDP. Iran clearance belongs to the buyer and their broker.
