Hyundai Glovis is set to enhance its operations in international air logistics by officially launching its 'express cargo customs facility.' The company plans to establish a two-way customs system for imports and exports, which will support the expansion of its air logistics business.
On November 2, Hyundai Glovis announced that its Incheon Airport Logistics Center, located within the Incheon International Airport logistics complex, has received formal approval from the Korea Customs Service to operate as an express import customs facility.
The customs facility is situated on the first floor of the logistics center and is capable of processing over 1 million express cargo shipments each month. To maximize processing speed and efficiency, the customs procedures have been automated with advanced equipment. Four high-speed X-ray machines, which are crucial for item identification, can handle 5,000 shipments per hour and transmit real-time information about the shape and nature of scanned items to Incheon Airport Customs. Prohibited items such as drugs, firearms, and explosives are immediately classified after precise reading.
The third and fourth floors of the logistics center will handle reverse logistics. This facility will assist in exporting K-beauty products, health supplements, and entertainment-related goods, which have garnered significant interest from markets in Japan, Europe, and Latin America. A sophisticated sorting system with 20 conveyor belts is designed to quickly categorize global orders by country, region, and delivery service, ensuring prompt delivery to each destination.
A Hyundai Glovis official stated, "With this customs approval, the Incheon Airport Logistics Center has successfully established a comprehensive two-way customs system for exports and imports. We will leverage our expertise in air forwarding, cutting-edge automation systems, and geographical advantages with the airport cargo terminal to serve as a global cross-border logistics export-import hub."
