Heze City, Shandong Province Has Added Air Logistics Channel Assist International Logistics Enterprises in Developing New Channels
Heze City, Shandong Province has added an "air logistics channel"! Assist international logistics enterprises in developing new channels
On February 10, 2025, the customs supervision operation site of Heze Airport International Cargo Terminal successfully passed the customs acceptance, marking the first non port airport air transport customs supervision operation site in China to officially have operational conditions. The implementation of this project not only opens up an efficient and convenient "air logistics channel" for import and export enterprises in Heze, but also injects strong momentum into the industrial upgrading and open economic development of our city.
Interpretation of project functions
1. Smooth international logistics, reduce costs and increase efficiency. The international cargo terminal covers an area of 4300 square meters, and the customs fence covers an area of 480 square meters. Equipped with intelligent checkpoints, inspection areas, information management systems, and other facilities, it can provide one-stop services for the entire process of customs declaration, clearance, and transfer. Enterprises no longer need to detour through foreign air ports for import and export goods, which can save logistics costs of about 10 million yuan per year and increase cargo turnover efficiency by over 30%, helping enterprises seize the opportunity in the international market.
2. Serve characteristic industries and expand the export matrix. Relying on the international freight station, Heze's unique products such as hair products, high-end pet food, and fresh cut flowers can directly connect with the global market. These high-value and time sensitive goods can quickly reach target markets such as Europe, America, and Southeast Asia through air transportation, promoting the formation of diversified export patterns in local characteristic industries.
3. Empower an open economy and move towards a 'port airport'. The international cargo terminal will accelerate the construction of a node on our city's "Air Silk Road" and promote the transformation of Heze from an "inland hinterland" to an "open frontier".
Which products are suitable for import and export through international freight stations?
High value-added products, such as hair products, precision instruments, biomedicine, etc., ensure timely and safe air transportation.
Time sensitive products: fresh cut flowers, fresh food, electronic components, etc., with fast customs clearance to reduce losses.

The operation of the international cargo terminal is not only a milestone in the open development of Heze, but also a "new springboard" for enterprises to set sail overseas.
