On 6 July 2023, Amazon Global Logistics (AGL) held a VIP seller communication session at YANTIAN attended by over 100 guests, most of whom were cross-border cargo owners.

This was the first time many of the sellers had visited a world-class port, and many couldn't help marveling:

●  "It turns out that there is so much support behind the fast and smooth transportation of our goods!"
●  "It was the first time I saw rows of giant vessels docked at the terminal. I am amazed at YANTIAN's operational capabilities!"
●  "YANTIAN has such a busy service network, efficient clearance procedures, cross-border e-commerce goods return and transshipment, and other supporting services. No wonder everyone says this is a preferred port for cross-border e-commerce in South China."

Through this field visit, the business adhesion between each party has been significantly enhanced, laying a solid foundation for the further growth of  cross-border shipping and warehousing cooperation between YANTIAN and Amazon.

Neville Lam, General Manager of Commercial Department of YANTIAN, attended the event and delivered a welcome speech, saying that YANTIAN will make every effort to promote the sustainable development of the cross-border e-commerce industry in Yantian District, looking forward to working together with AGL and sellers to contribute to cross-border e-commerce prosperity as well as to the high-quality development of China's international trade.

Lindy Lin, Senior Manager of Commercial Department of YANTIAN, introduced in detail the advantages of YANTIAN as the preferred port for cross-border e-commerce in South China. Goods in YANTIAN can be delivered to the destination port in the shortest possible time, for example, 13 days to the US West Coast, 22 days to Europe. At present, YANTIAN has sufficient and complete resources for cross-border services like e-commerce, B2B export, B2B warehousing, and bonded e-commerce, efficient customs clearance, and the largest off-dock warehousing and international logistics distribution base in South China. In addition, YANTIAN is also the first container terminal in China officially approved for dangerous goods stacking, i.e., Class 9 containerised dangerous goods can be stacked in the yard together with general containers, releasing more stacking spaces and helping 3C and charged products to go global smoothly.

Representatives of AGL also introduced their service advantages, such as locking goods in the designated warehouse in Europe and the US, priority warehousing, one-stop platform services, etc. AGL has recently launched a time-limited offer for locking goods in its Eastern US warehouses to ease sellers' warehousing pressure in the Western US, offering cost-effective solutions for peak warehousing season. In addition, the Amazon seller management team also analysed the account status for sellers at the event and shared the strategies of Amazon to help sellers grow their brands. 

YANTIAN's partnership with Amazon goes back a long way:

In 2012, sellers in China could sell their goods on Amazon.

  In 2015, AGL was founded. YANTIAN has been associated with AGL and Chinese sellers on Amazon ever since.

 YANTIAN has witnessed the rapid growth of Amazon and Chinese sellers. Amazon exported the most containers from YANTIAN in 2022. 

From the initial 500 square meters of warehouse in Yantian Integrated Bonded Area to more than 100,000 square meters of warehouses in and around YANTIAN by 2023, this is a testament to Amazon's trust in YANTIAN's extensive service networks and strong supply chain support. Currently, AGL not only chooses YANTIAN for bulk LCL for sellers in South China, but also exports all its goods in South China through YANTIAN.

As a key international trade gateway in South China and Honorary President Organization of SZCBEA Yantian Branch, YANTIAN will continue to give full play to its advantages of a major port, vigorously develop multimodal transportation to provide high-quality logistics services to support Chinese brands to go global. We will deepen cooperations with government and industry peers to assure the stability of supply chain and industry chain in the Greater Bay Area, serve as the "communication bridge" to empower cross-border e-commerce, and support Shenzhen to be a logistics center with global influence.
