China's Jimunai Port in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has achieved record live king crab imports in 2025, with the trade volume surpassing 100 million yuan ($14.3 million). As the region's exclusive gateway for importing live king crab since October 2024, the port ensures freshness through priority customs clearance, including arrival-inspection and fast-track release. Arctic king crabs are shipped directly to domestic markets or stored in temperature-controlled tanks before distribution to major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. The surge highlights Xinjiang's growing role in meeting China's luxury seafood demand.
