A bonded warehouse is a secure facility that can store imports without the shipper needing to immediately pay duties or import taxes.
A special economic zone is a geographical area where economic regulations differ from the rest of the country. These zones can offer tax incentives, lower tariffs and other favorable options for businesses.
What is new: We just enhanced our services and operations in Johor, Malaysia. We introduced international next-day and two-day delivery, and opened two new facilities at Senai International Airport – a parcel centre and a bonded warehouse. Thanks to these improvements in Malaysia and others around the region, we are now offering some of the fastest global delivery times in the market.
The big picture: Manufacturers in Johor serve industries around the world. Strategically located in the heart of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, our new facilities make it easier for businesses to reach their customers – not just in Malaysia, but worldwide.
‘Johor is an important industry hub in southern Malaysia, particularly for manufacturing and high-tech companies’, said UPS Malaysia Senior Managing Director Ingrid Sidiadinoto. ‘Being able to respond to orders quickly is critical in these sectors, and now UPS customers in Johor and beyond can enjoy some of the fastest transit times to and from anywhere in the world.’
Here is how these improvements in Malaysia are driving global business growth for our customers:
- Next-day delivery is now available for imports and exports from Johor to destinations across the Asia Pacific region.
- Two-day delivery for Europe and the U.S. means manufacturing and high-tech businesses can reach suppliers and customers faster.
- As one of the world’s largest customs brokers, our cross-border shipping expertise and end-to-end logistics network help customers expand to new markets and grow their customer base.
The bottom line: These network updates are a big boost for local businesses in Malaysia and companies anywhere looking to grow in a competitive global market.
A history of investment: At UPS, we help customers compete on the global stage. With recent enhancements across Asia, Europe, Canada and the U.S.A., we are making it easier for businesses to expand internationally.
