"originally, when i exported cabinets from shaoxing, i needed to pick them up, enter the port, declare customs, and inspect them in ningbo. because the goods were in shaoxing, i often worried about not being able to catch the ship because i couldn't pick up the boxes and were sent for inspection. now with the 'zhejiang e-port link' ’, you can pick up the boxes and check them locally, and the business processing will be more secure,” said mr. qiu of zhejiang fangdu international freight forwarding co., ltd.
