More than 50% items arrive in Lithuania from China
“The number of items sent from China is rapidly growing. Last year, 27% of international items had Chinese origin, and this year (3rd quarter) the result is 51%. The main reason for this is e-commerce with China’s e-trade market taking one of the leading positions in the world,” Directress of Postal Operations Division of Lithuania Post Rasa Radzevičienė said.
The most popular countries in terms of incoming international items are Poland, Germany, the USA, and Latvia.
19% of outgoing international items were destined to Russia within the 3rd quarter of the current year.
According to Ms Radzevičienė, the increase in the number of items destined to Russian was mainly determined by cooperation between Lithuania Post and its partners in China. Lithuania is a transit country, and Lithuania Post ensures delivery of Chinese items to the EU member states as well as Russia, Belarus, and other countries.
Apart from Russia, other popular destination countries are Great Britain, Germany, the USA, and Latvia.
