The 50,000 sq m (538,200 sq ft) facility, expected to complete in 2023<br \/>\nQ1, will contain 10,000 sq m (107,600 sq ft) of cold store. Kerry Logistics<br \/>\nNetwork is the first international 3PL to invest and build a premium bonded<br \/>\nlogistics centre in the Hainan FTP.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s State Council announced the &#8220;Master Plan for the Construction of<br \/>\nHainan Free Trade Port&#8221; in June 2020, intending for it to be a<br \/>\nglobally-significant free trade port by 2050 and the largest free trade zone in Mainland China. To support the development of the tourism,<br \/>\ne-commerce and logistics industries in the Hainan FTP, a zero-tariff regime<br \/>\nwill be established for the trade of goods in which certain categories of<br \/>\nimports are entitled to zero-tariff treatment. In the future, imported goods<br \/>\nbought by Hainan residents will be exempt from import tariffs,<br \/>\nvalue-added tax and sales tax.\u00a0Imported goods with over 30%<br \/>\nvalue-added processing in the FTP will be exempt from tariff when sold to other<br \/>\nareas in Mainland China.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since July 2020, Hainan Island&#8217;s annual tax-free shopping quota has been<br \/>\nincreased from RMB 30,000 per person per year to RMB 100,000 per person per<br \/>\nyear, which drove up the duty-free sales in that month by 234.2% year-on-year.<br \/>\nTotal amount of duty-free sales during Mainland China&#8217;s National Golden Week in<br \/>\nOctober 2020 has risen by 148.7% year-on-year to RMB 1.04 Billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kerry<br \/>\nLogistics Network is well-positioned to capture this growth as it has been the<br \/>\nlogistics partner of two existing duty-free shopping centres in Hainan since<br \/>\n2011 and has recently been contracted to provide logistics services to three<br \/>\nnewly-registered duty-free shopping centres. It has a long-established presence<br \/>\nof over three decades in Hainan, having set up the Hainan branch in 1987 and<br \/>\ncommanding significant market share as the largest freight forwarder in Hainan.<br \/>\nThe Hainan branch has been accredited with Customs AEO Advanced Certificate and<br \/>\nis a Top National Customs Brokerage Company in Mainland China as well as the<br \/>\nonly National Standard Implementation Demonstration Unit for the &#8220;Customs<br \/>\nBrokerage Service Specification&#8221; in Hainan.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>William Ma, Group Managing Director of Kerry Logistics Network, said,<br \/>\n&#8220;We are confident in the prospects of duty-free consumption in Hainan.<br \/>\nLeveraging Hainan province&#8217;s geographical advantage in South China and its<br \/>\nproximity to Southeast Asia, the Hainan FTP will be an important gateway to<br \/>\nhandle the fast-growing duty-free and inbound e-commerce cargoes. Our new<br \/>\nbonded logistics centre in Haikou FTZ will be instrumental in helping our existing customers to expand into the Hainan<br \/>\nduty-free sales channels and capture new business opportunities. As the logistics<br \/>\npartner of Hainan&#8217;s five duty-free shopping centres out of six in total, our<br \/>\nnew bonded logistics centre will significantly boost our capability to seize<br \/>\nthe tremendous opportunities presented by this new free trade zone and serve as<br \/>\na powerful engine to propel our growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/View\/58548#Contact\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG SAR\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0&#8211; 16 December 2020 &#8211;\u00a0Kerry Logistics Network Limited (&#8216;Kerry Logistics Network&#8217;; Stock Code 0636.HK) announced today the development of a bonded logistics centre in the Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone (&#8216;Haikou FTZ&#8217;) in the Hainan Free Trade Port (&#8216;Hainan FTP&#8217;) to support the Chinese government&#8217;s new policy.
