BXGC-FAC-3 receives first customs-bonded cold-storage warehouse authorisation in Fujian Free Trade Zone Fuzhou area.

Baixian has received customs-bonded cold-storage warehouse authorisation at the BXGC-FAC-3 facility in Fuzhou Mawei — the first such authorisation in the Fujian Free Trade Zone Fuzhou area. The bonded capacity enables in-season import staging and re-export staging for the firm's cephalopod and pelagic trade flows across Greater China.

— Baixian has received customs-bonded cold-storage warehouse authorisation at the BXGC-FAC-3 facility on No. 7 Chang Fa Road, Fuzhou Mawei, the firm announced today. The authorisation — the first customs-bonded cold-storage warehouse in the Fujian Free Trade Zone Fuzhou area — establishes bonded capacity for in-season import staging, re-export staging, and bonded-zone reconciliation for Baixian's cephalopod and pelagic trade flows across Greater China.

The bonded authorisation follows the Phase 1 build-out of BXGC-FAC-3 between 2007 and 2014, which delivered approximately 15,840 m² of built floor area at the Mawei industrial site, including the main processing workshop, ammonia refrigeration room, boiler facility, ancillary buildings, on-site dormitory, and initial low-temperature cold storage capacity, at RMB ¥45M cumulative investment. The site is operated by Baixian Food (Fujian) Co., Ltd. (百鮮食品(福建)有限公司), the formal mainland-China subsidiary of Baixian Group established in 2005.

Under the bonded authorisation, Baixian establishes the bonded-staging foundation that supports the firm's later position in Cololabis saira (Pacific saury) and adjacent cephalopod markets. The bonded capacity remains the structural anchor of the firm's cold-storage operations at BXGC-FAC-3, with approximately 5,000 MT of bonded capacity within the site's ~30,000 MT total cold-storage capacity following subsequent Phase 2 build-out completed in 2017.
