Leading global logistics and customs brokerage provider, CCL, have been expanding their operations in Asia (Beijing, China), offering new and existing Asian clients eCommerce gateway logistics and UK/EU customs clearance solutions.

With extensive experience in freight forwarding for Asian businesses, CCL’s Asian division provides service and support to companies looking to expand their market into the UK or Europe.

CCL’s direct presence in China provides better communication to their Chinese and Asian customers while being a central hub to connect with more eCommerce businesses facing export and import challenges in the UK and EU.

“At CCL, we help Chinese and Asian eCommerce brands successfully expand into UK markets through our straightforward, cost-effective solutions for cross-border logistics, customs clearance and VAT. By having a physical office and team operating in China, we offer a more accessible, local point of contact for businesses that prefer to communicate in Mandarin as well as English, and operate within Asian time zones” says Stuart Campey, CEO at CCL.

With a significant amount of their client base comprising of Chinese eCommerce businesses, CCL has sought to strengthen its presence in the Chinese and wider Asian markets by investing in a localised team.

CCL has also recently joined the British Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, aiming to build meaningful partnerships and network with businesses engaged in international shipping.

Due to current global market uncertainties, CCL believes it is the ideal time to utilise trusted overseas logistics providers to minimise impact from export tariffs and customs.

CCL will be utilising their Beijing office to expand their client base, helping more Chinese businesses navigate these issues and ship their products with ease.

“As China’s economy remains propelled by high-value exporters, our goal is to support these businesses by optimising their logistics operations and protecting profit margins. With 2025 creating many challenges for global import and export supply chains, leveraging a door-to-door shipping service that’s tailored to their business is more important than ever” adds Stuart.

Since 1999, CCL has provided a comprehensive solution for eCommerce retailers and delivery providers seeking to simplify and expedite their shipments into and out of the UK and Eurozone.

With integrated services, global connections and a strategically located ETSF (External Temporary Storage Facility), CCL can provide bespoke logistics solutions for cross-border eCommerce goods entering Europe via air, sea, road and rail.

Chinese and Asian businesses will be able to connect directly with CCL’s Director of Business Development and Head of Asia, Xue Bai, who can provide guidance and consultation for their logistics processes.

“Backed by our Beijing office, we’re confident that businesses in China and the rest of Asia will benefit from better communication, local time zones and more streamlined logistics operations as they expand into the UK and European markets” concludes Stuart.
