Prioritize multimodal connectivity (sea/air/road), bonded/FTZ capability, SLA-backed pick-and-pack and returns processes, IT integration (WMS/TMS/APIs), and scalable labor patterns. Ensure the provider has documented carrier agreements, cross-dock capacity, and KPIs for order accuracy and transit times to key markets.

Bonded and FTZ services in Zhuhai allow duty deferment, streamlined re-export, and consolidated shipments, which can lower landed cost and improve cash flow. They reduce customs clearance time for outbound cross-border eCommerce and enable value-added services like light assembly before import duties apply.

Transit times to nearby hubs are short: same-day or next-day road deliveries to Macau and Shenzhen metro areas are common, and port transits to Hong Kong often clear within 24–48 hours depending on routing. Carrier access includes regional feeder services, express couriers, and scheduled container lines for export lanes.

Model landed cost, per-pallet and per-sku storage rates, pick-and-pack labor, inbound/outbound handling, cross-dock fees, bonded/FTZ surcharges, local road tolls, and last-mile rates. Include service-level penalties, inventory carry cost, and IT integration or EDI setup fees when comparing total cost of ownership.
