China has built customs into the warehouse and accelerated the export of e-commerce

China has launched a warehouse format, where customs control has been moved inside the marketplace. The declaration, inspection and loading of the container take place at the same facility, without "extra leverage" to a separate customs terminal. For crossbarder sellers, this is a direct blow to the processing time and cost.

The share of defective freight cars on the Russian Railways network is growing rapidly: by the end of February 2026, 158 thousand units were counted, which is 11% of the fleet.

IPEM expects that a local shortage of a serviceable fleet may appear as early as April–May.
