Country Focus Promoting Public Holiday South Colombia Service for June 1

COUNTRY FOCUS –

This month issue we would like to focus on South China. Globelink has 10 offices in South China and we will zero in on the major base ports: , , and .

Shenzhen

Shenzhen, located at the center of the Delta and other provinces in South China, maximize the potential of Globelink Shenzhen. We offer regular inland trucking from other parts of the cities to channel via Shenzhen-bound shipments with fast and convenient service, including local customs declaration to ease the export process of the customers. Globelink Shenzhen is one of the most prominent logistics companies in the whole province market and we have over 7 representatives as listed below:

- Shenzhen (acting as Guangdong hub) - Guangzhou - - Zhongshan - - - -

Guangzhou

Since 2008, there is continuous growth in Guangzhou office’s cargo volume after building up various export services from different terminals in Guangzhou. We offer direct service from Huangpu terminal, Jiaoxin/Huangpu via service, One Dragon (all-in) service and so on. Guangzhou office has become one of the most competitive players in the market. Currently we are one of the Top 3 NVOCCs in Guangzhou market. We are operating at four warehouses in Guangzhou: 2

Baiyun

1. Jiaoxin Changtong warehouse (Trucking to Shenzhen and feeder to Hong Kong)

2. Jiaoxin Longhu warehouse (One Dragon/ All-in Services)

Huangpu district

3. Huangpu Wuchong warehouse (Direct service and feeder to Hong Kong)

4. Huangpu Zhuangyuangu warehouse (One Dragon/ All-in Services)

There are two Customs Authorities in Guangzhou, namely Guangzhou Customs and Huangpu Customs.

Following is the warehouse operation's flow chart for Huangpu and Jiaoxin port:

Jiaoxin Port

Customs Granted Plan for Cargo clearance approval from On export Stu ng received for each customs to load board container shipment the cntr

Customs Docs Granted Re-plan inspection amendment approval from On export Stu ng for single & customs to load board loading shipment redeclaration the cntr

Huangpu Port

Plan the Cargo container Released On board received & stu ng

Customs Customs unstu ng Cargo demand to inspection & inspect released On board hold the & hold the the cargo by customs container container 3

THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUANGPU AND JIAOXIN PORT:

At Huangpu port, we are required to stuff the container prior to customs declaration, as such, if there is any shipment being held by the customs, it will affect the entire shipment in that container and thus the cargo's sailing schedule may change.

At Jiaoxin Port, we are required to stuff the container after customs declaration. If there is any shipment that failed to receive approval from customs on the declaration, it does not affect the remaining shipments in the same consol box.

XIAMEN/ FUZHOU

Xiamen is an island city. As one of the five earliest special economic zones, with heavy investment from and Hong Kong, it has been a city growing in strength.

The Port of Xiamen is an important deep water port located at the mouth of the Jiulongjiang River on the southern coastline of province in the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is one of the trunk line ports in the Asia-Pacific region. It is ranked the 8th largest container port in the PRC.

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE COVERAGE

Globelink Guangzhou offers regular direct service from Huangpu to some of the basic ports such as Barcelona, Colombo, Istanbul, and Hong Kong.

Globelink Xiamen offers direct services to Asia, Europe, Mediterranean, East Coast South America, and also Indian Sub-continent. Fuzhou acts as a complement port for supporting Xiamen as there is regular feeder service from Fuzhou to Xiamen. This enables us to offer the shortest transit time for cargo out of Fuzhou (where there is direct service from Xiamen). Alternatively, Fuzhou would channel the cargo to the respective hubs (Hong Kong/ Singapore/ Busan/ Barcelona) to reach the cargo to the rest of the world.
