Customs statistics show that in 2024, the total import-export value of the ZSBLC stood at 3.447 billion yuan, up 22.8% year-on-year, hitting a five-year high.

"We mainly serve over 50 corporate stores in Hong Kong. Based on clients' needs, we complete the collection, sorting and packaging of goods at the center, and transport them to Hong Kong via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. The whole process takes only about three hours," said Mr Zheng, warehouse manager of Zhongshan Yizhou Logistics Co Ltd. "Under this mode, we can save up to 50% of logistics costs comparing with directly setting up warehouses in Hong Kong."

In recent years, companies in the center have undertaken bonded warehousing business for upstream supply chain enterprises such as Dell, Casio and Uniqlo, with operating efficiency being greatly improved.
