• Proximity to ports/airports and major highways to minimize dock-to-door transit times.
• Bonded/FTZ capabilities and customs expertise for cross-border flows.
• Scalable storage, automation, and peak-season throughput guarantees.
• Carrier integrations for last-mile, express, and B2B parcel services.

Bonded warehouses and FTZs allow goods to be stored, repackaged, or processed without immediate customs duties, streamlining returns and repairs and enabling deferred VAT treatment. This reduces cashflow burden, simplifies cross-border returns processing, and accelerates time-to-reexport or local distribution when paired with experienced 3PL customs teams.

Expect same-day or next-day delivery to Pearl River Delta cities, 1–3 days to major domestic hubs, air freight to Asia in 1–2 days and to Europe/US within 1–3 days air transit plus handling. Ocean services offer frequent sailings to SE Asia, Europe, and North America. Carriers include domestic express (SF, ZTO, YTO), global integrators, ocean carriers, and rail services to Eurasia.

• Map customer delivery densities vs. lead-time targets to prioritize coastal vs. inland sites.
• Compare land and lease rates against required throughput and automation needs.
• Assess local labor skill sets and seasonal labor pools for peak operations.
• Verify multimodal access, carrier terminals, and proximity to bonded/FTZ facilities.
