Mechanical and electrical products, paper products and agricultural products were the main exports, totaling 5.94 billion yuan, 2.77 billion yuan and 1.95 billion yuan, respectively. A Guangxi Jingui Pulp & Paper spokesperson said strong overseas demand drove the firm's double-digit trade growth, with 49.4 metric tons of white cardboard exported to Pakistan on June 2.

Qinzhou Port Customs has established enterprise communication and problem-resolution ledgers to tackle bottlenecks like inspection frequency and clearance efficiency for processing trade firms. It provides pre-export quality testing and technical guidance to help enterprises overcome overseas market barriers. By capitalizing on its energy resource imports—mineral sands, coal, nickel matte—the port supports Guangxi's high-quality foreign trade growth.
