One-stop export customs clearance across the western Shenzhen port cluster — directly operating at Shekou, Chiwan, Mawan and Dachan Bay container terminals.
General cargo · Dangerous goods · Chemicals · Food | Export tax refund · Buy-for-name declaration · Fumigation · Commodity inspection · Plant quarantine
Located on the eastern bank of the Pearl River Estuary, the western Shenzhen port cluster brings together four container terminals — Shekou, Chiwan, Mawan and Dachan Bay — forming one of South China's most important sea freight export gateways. Export customs clearance is the critical step that declares your cargo for export in a compliant, efficient way and secures customs release.
Using these terminals as our core operating ports and backed by local container yards, trucking and ocean freight resources, Goodhope Freight provides end-to-end brokerage — from HS code classification and document preparation, to customs filing, inspection support, release and certification, and container-loading handover.
We serve manufacturers, trading companies, cross-border e-commerce sellers and cargo owners, covering general cargo, dangerous goods, chemicals and food, with supporting export tax refund, buy-for-name declaration, fumigation, commodity inspection and plant quarantine — so clearance and logistics move seamlessly and ship on time.
Located on the Shekou Peninsula, Shekou is a core terminal of the western Shenzhen port cluster. With dense international liner services, it is a major gateway for FCL and LCL export from South China.
Adjacent to Shekou within the western Shenzhen port cluster, Chiwan operates in coordination with Shekou and Mawan, with well-developed road links for efficient truck turnaround.
Situated at Mawan in the western Shenzhen port cluster, Mawan works as a contiguous operation with Shekou and Chiwan, close to the Qianhai cooperation zone and serving the broad Pearl River Delta export hinterland.
Located at Dachan Bay in Bao'an, next to Qianhai, Dachan Bay is an emerging deep-water terminal in western Shenzhen and a key export channel for the western Pearl River Delta.
All four terminals sit on the eastern bank of the Pearl River Estuary in the western Shenzhen port cluster. We select the operating port and loading handover based on sailing schedule, container volume and cargo type.
