Shanghai customs launched a new service called "International Less-than-Container-Load Transit Programme" on February 5, which is said to be strongly supported by the government to speed Shanghai's throughput toward its aim of becoming the world's shipping centre.
According to the Shanghai customs, the service allows Chinese export cargo to be consolidated with transit cargo from other countries without having to declare customs on entering into Yangshan Bonded Port Area before it can be shipped abroad.
Brilliance Cargo Management Co Ltd is the authorised domestic provider of the new service.
