Schenker China Ltd. is offering its high-tech industry clients a new service in spare parts logistics. The bonded warehouse located in the Zhangjiang High Tech Zone in Shanghai specializes in storing spare parts for modern equipment. Under special customs licenses, the client pays customs duties and VAT only at the stage of selling the spare parts to the final recipient. In cases where parts are used within the warranty period, they are not subject to customs duties and taxes.
For manufacturers of high-tech equipment (e.g., semiconductor manufacturers), the time to market is of paramount importance. The new bonded warehouse stands out in this regard compared to standard airport warehouses and traditional bonded warehouses. Schenker guarantees its clients delivery of parts to the destination point within 2-24 hours of shipment from the warehouse. The operation is carried out throughout China, with customs clearances performed in a consolidated manner and settled on a monthly cycle. In situations where parts are delivered under a warranty agreement, the order fulfillment time is 15 days, and no customs duties or taxes are charged. The Schenker warehouse is open 24/7, 365 days a year, and is operated using an advanced warehouse and customs clearance management system with strict security control.
The warehouse in Zhangjiang is already the fifth facility operated by Schenker in Shanghai. In total, the company has over 42,000 square meters of storage capacity there.
