Multimodal Transportation

Responding to the cargo backlog on the route from Tianjin through the China-Mongolia border, we achieved an alternative transportation service from Wuhan

Mongolia relies on imports for many of its daily commodities, and the route from Tianjin through the China-Mongolia border is a major logistics artery for the Mongolian market. However, due to the recent surge in ocean freight rates to Europe, cargoes bound for Europe have been pouring into this route. Coupled with China's policy of giving priority to Europe, a large volume of cargoes bound for Mongolia have been stuck in Tianjin.

Therefore, we proposed an alternative block train transportation service from Wuhan to Mongolia. Under the supervision of our Shanghai subsidiary, a single-car, block-train with 50 containers ran from Wuhan to the China-Mongolia border.

While many cargoes were held up on the existing route, the completed vehicles, arrived safely in Mongolia by the delivery date, and 100 vehicles transported were sold out on the same day, earning strong evaluations from the local customer.

As a pioneer in transportation to Mongolia, we will continue to make flexible proposals in response to current trends and optimize logistics.

Import Customs Clearance Services for Mexico

Mexico's Previo (customs broker's voluntary inspection) has many disadvantages and tends to be a vested interest for customs brokers to collect additional fees. There is little advantage for the importers, particularly for equipment customs clearance. We avoid this Previo, and achieve on-time delivery, reduced extra costs, and safer transportation.
