Hactl's Hacis gears up with e-commerce depot at Nansha bonded zone
HONG KONG Air Cargo Industry Services (Hacis) ?the added-value logistics arm of Hong Kong's largest air cargo handler, Hactl ?has opened a new depot directly targeting e-commerce business.
The Hacis Nansha depot, in southern Guangzhou, the seventh inland cargo depot in mainland China, will become the latest destination for Hacis SuperLink China Direct.
"Nansha's proximity to Hong Kong creates huge business potential and an ideal partnership and Nansha has the land Hong Kong logistics needs," said Hacis managing director Vivien Lau.
"The Guangdong Free Trade Zone will open new opportunities for us. We believe that stronger ties with nearby mainland cities like Nansha will create increased value to Hacis airline and forwarder customers," she said.
This involves an express road feeder service for both general cargo and cross-border e-commerce cargo, supporting B2B and B2C business models, and enjoying simplified customs declaration and clearance.
Air cargo arriving in Hong Kong will be trucked in bond to Nansha in three hours, using customs e-seals. Consignees can perform customs formalities according to the cargo flow at destination.
Located in Guangdong Free Trade Zone, Hacis Nansha Depot is set up to support the region's e-commerce logistics.
To ensure optimum efficiency for all e-commerce shipments, systems integration has taken place between Cargo Management Systems and Customs Clearance System..
This enables real-time information exchange with all relevant parties. A number of successful trial runs have operated to test the service and support systems before the services begin carrying commercial freight.
Catering to the particular needs of cross-border e-commerce, customs procedures in Nansha are simplified to enhance cargo handling efficiency and flexibility, said Hacis.
Customs clearance is also available 24/7. Cargo arriving at the Nansha bonded area can be handled at piece level; imported goods are temporarily stored in the bonded warehouse and then delivered to individual customers in response to online orders.
Imported e-commerce cargo, when leaving the bonded area, is required to pay only the 'luggage and postal item tax', as opposed to those levies which apply to general cargo such as value-added tax and consumption tax.
"Chinese consumers are increasingly seeking overseas commodities such as healthcare products and foodstuffs, and ordering these online," said Ms Lau.
"As the e-commerce market matures and becomes more price-driven, fulfilment is moving closer to the market to achieve economies of scale and cost reductions in logistics," she said.
