Shenzhen Airport Bonded Services

The Shenzhen Airport Bonded Logistics Center, as one of the seven key logistics parks planned by the Shenzhen Municipal Government, is located in the core area of Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, 深圳机场保税服务The planned area is 1.16 million square meters, and the warehouse area is comparable to 20 football fields. As a specialized supervision zone specially designated by the General Administration of Customs of China, the park adopts a closed dual checkpoint inspection and release mode, with customs monitoring the flow of goods 24 hours a day. It is not only the only park in the Pearl River Delta region that realizes one-stop logistics center inspection and release, but also the most advanced similar park in the national customs system configuration, creating an efficient and safe logistics clearance environment for enterprises.

At present, the Shenzhen Airport Bonded Logistics Center under the supply chain has supervised the warehouse, which has passed the international TAPA standard certification, and the customs supervises the entry and exit of goods 24 hours a day. The warehouse is equipped with a professional KWMS warehouse management system to achieve refined management of goods, with scientifically reasonable functional zoning covering six core areas: shipping area, purchasing area, tallying area, warehousing area, weighing area, and valuable cage; The homework equipment is fully equipped, including electric forklifts, diesel forklifts, manual forklifts, stacker trucks, electronic scales, and other complete sets of equipment. The warehouse floor can bear up to 3 tons per square meter, and there are 11 automatic loading and unloading platforms arranged in front and behind, greatly improving the efficiency of goods turnover.

Not only that, but today's supply chain has also successfully obtained the vehicle A-level certification and warehouse B-level certification from the international cargo security organization TAPA, building a solid defense line for cargo security from transportation to warehousing, making enterprise logistics flow more secure.

For export to domestic sales or trade in enterprises, the traditional Hong Kong transit model has long had pain points such as cumbersome processes, high costs, and delayed delivery. The traditional operation is usually to transport goods to Hong Kong by truck, handle export tax rebate verification, store them in Hong Kong, and then import them from Hong Kong to domestic target enterprises. This process not only involves four core customs declaration processes: mainland export customs declaration, Hong Kong import customs declaration, Hong Kong export customs declaration, and mainland import customs declaration, but also two seamless customs declarations at the Hong Kong entry and exit checkpoints, which are complicated and prone to delays; In terms of cost, the combined costs of cross-border transportation, multiple customs declarations, and Hong Kong warehousing are 60% higher than those of the Shenzhen Airport Bonded Logistics Center; In terms of timeliness, the entire process takes 2-3 days, and there are many uncertainties due to the working hours of Hong Kong Customs.

In contrast, the Shenzhen Airport Bonded Logistics Center relies on the advantages of a comprehensive transportation hub and abundant resources in surrounding seaports, providing diverse choices for sea freight transportation and completely replacing the transit function of the Hong Kong Free Trade Zone. Enterprises do not need to export goods to Hong Kong, they only need to complete the process of "exporting upon entering the park and importing upon leaving the park", and can complete all the procedures for export tax refund to domestic sales within 1 day. If there is a storage demand, the goods can be stored directly in the park in a standardized manner, and the import customs declaration and tax payment procedures can be handled when entering the mainland market, flexibly adapting to the pace of enterprise production and operation. The entire customs declaration process can be completed in just 2-4 hours, significantly reducing time costs.
