The Port of Zhuhai
One of the things that can confuse inexperienced importers is that the large, deep-water port of Zhuhai is also commonly referred to as Jiuzhou Port in the West. The Port of Zhuhai is made up of seven distinct areas including Gaolan, Xiangzhou and Tangjia among others. There are well over a hundred berths for ocean-going vessels in the port, over 15 of which are deep-water berths capable of accommodating the very largest container ships. For about a decade, the port has been handling 100,000,000 tonnes of cargo each year. In short, the port is one of the best reasons to choose firms in Zhuhai as trading partners since ships heading to the UK from it are rarely in short supply.

Zhuhai's Free Trade Zone
As well as being one of the leading Special Economic Zones in China, Zhuhai has a so-called Free Trade Zone, or FTZ. The FTZ was established in the mid-1990s and means that different administrative rules apply to companies registered there. Essentially, this helps western companies to do business there. More than 150 foreign-funded enterprises now operate in Zhuhai’s FTZ, many of them in sectors like electronic manufacturing and assembly, telecommunications equipment production and medical equipment design. Although the FTZ also has some businesses that work with raw materials and heavy industry, sectors usually associated with northern China, the majority are high-tech manufacturing firms that offer British firms both flexibility and high standards of quality control.
