DHL starts cross-border services in south-east Asia - International Freighting Weekly

DHL starts cross-border services in south-east Asia - International Freighting Weekly: "DHL has introduced cross-border bonded truck services linking Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand from a wider range of hubs.

As first reported in IFW, bonded trucking links to and from Thailand were launched last year, following trials with Thai customs authorities.

DHL is now offering direct pick-up and delivery, as well as insurance, customs clearance and handling of import, export and transit documentation from its hubs in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Sadao and Singapore.

A DHL spokesman told IFW that Vietnam and Laos were also being considered as potential destinations for bonded services.

Sam Ang, CEO for south-east Asia at DHL Global Forwarding, said: “The service has the potential to turn this part of south-east Asia into a more integrated market.”"
