Understanding Chemical Distribution in China published by He-Ro Consulting Ltd in October, 2008. This report consists of 171 Pages and the price starts from US $ 5100.
Introduction
Abstract
This 171 page report examines the distribution of chemicals in China.
We begin by briefly reviewing the status of the Chinese chemical industry to
give an overview of the industry. We then go on to take a general look at the
logistics sector, examining the major transportation methods relevant to the
chemical industry: road, rail, inland waterway, and ocean. We highlight recent
trends and development issues. We finally examine the interaction between the
chemical and logistics industries to build up a picture of how the
distribution of chemicals functions. We provide details of the development of
chemical industrial and logistics parks in China which are making a
significant contribution to the development of integration and modernization
within the industry.
To balance the necessary macro overviews, we include additional detailed
information such as the various categories of chemical imports; customs and
import procedures together with example forms; examples costs of freight
around China etc and some comments from related industry participants on
day-to-day practical issues such as payment terms etc.
