This scheme is offered to air express companies to facilitate the transhipment of time sensitive shipments from land checkpoints to Changi FTZ (CZ) and vice versa for subsequent re-export or local release. Companies can consolidate and move the shipments under a simplified transhipment permit. A nominal CIF value only needs to be declared. Besides this, cargoes can enjoy smooth clearance at the checkpoints.
