Hacis is delighted to announce three value-added services for the air cargo community, including a facilitation scheme for ECFA Transshipment Cargo, and two service enhancement initiatives for its SuperLink China Direct services.
The Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) signed between China and Taiwan allows shippers to enjoy lower tariff on direct consignments. The same benefit applies to traders who have transshipment cargo routing via Hong Kong but an advance application to the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) is required. Now, Hacis can manage all these process on behalf of the traders upon the arrival of ECFA consignments in Hong Kong, making Hong Kong an attractive transshipment hub between Taiwan and Mainland China.
Following the successful experience of handling pharmaceutical shipments between Hong Kong and mainland China, Hacis is expanding its reliable Cold Chain Service to include perishable products on temperature-controlled trucks. A trial between Hong Kong and Shenzhen airports is expected to be done by the first quarter of 2014.
To ensure safe and in-time delivery of perishable products transiting via Hong Kong, Hacis is now in discussion with China Inspection Co. Ltd (CIC) to optimise the application procedure of various certificates. Moreover, Hacis will be working with Hactl closely to arrange priority cargo and document transfer, aiming to make delivery between six to eight hours upon flight arrivals at SuperTerminal 1.
For details, please contact Thomas Yu or Bert Ng of Hacis Commercial & Market Development Team.
Hacis can arrange ULD transfer of air cargo from Hong Kong airport to mainland China by road. The cut-off time will be significantly reduced from six hours to four hours before truck departure, bringing time and cost efficiency to our customers. Without the need for break down and build up, the quality of goods will be retained in even better condition.
The first trial of ULD transfer was completed in August 2013. The Hacis team is now in talks with the Hong Kong and China customs to optimise the operation flow. We are aiming at launching our service to Shenzhen and Guangzhou next year.
