Logistic Cargoes enjoys 'Direct CIQ' in Shenzhen's western port

A MEMORANDUM of Understanding (MoU) to set up a supervised warehouse within the Qianhaiwan Bonded Port Area to facilitate the handling of Logistic Cargoes' exports through Shenzhen's western port area has been signed by Shekou CIQ, Chiwan Container Terminal (CCT), Shekou Container Terminals (SCT), China Merchants Maritime Logistics (CMML) and Jiayuntong Logistics.

Under the terms of the agreement, Shekou CIQ will establish supervised warehouses and offices at Qianhaiwan Free Trade Port, while Chiwan Container Terminal and Shekou Container Terminals will "deal with the operation" of Logistic Cargoes. CCT and SCT are tasked with providing "all-round support including favourable rate and preferential operation, while CMML will offer favourable storage rent to Logistic Cargoes-related corporations."

The successful signing of the MoU means that Logistic Cargos can directly declare CIQ (China Inspection and Quarantine) inside the Shenzhen western port area and the goods can be released without previously being declared at the place of manufacture and exchanging certificates, thereby simplifying the process for the cargo owners and improving the efficiency of the whole procedure.

Shekou CIQ deputy director general Lujian, CCT deputy general manager Qu Jiandong, SCT deputy general manager Erik Yim, CMML general manager Yu Shixin and Jiayuntong Logistics general manager Huang Jiaming signed the MoU.

Shenzhen CIQ deputy director general Yu Guojun, Shekou CIQ director general Mr Zhao Xinliu, as well as China Merchant Holdings International deputy general manager Nelson Liu were also present at the signing ceremony.
