【Brand Introduction】

LHZ-TIR · Middle East TIR is a specialized service brand focusing on road transport connecting China and the Middle East via Hong Kong/Nansha transshipment. As the Hong Kong station of LHZ-TIR Middle East, leveraging the LHZ-TIR global TIR road transport network, combined with Hong Kong's advantage as an international transshipment hub and the sea-rail intermodal capability of Nansha Port (where LHZ-TIR headquarters is located), we provide efficient, stable, and compliant two-way TIR transport services for Hong Kong traders, Pearl River Delta manufacturers, and Middle Eastern importers, covering UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, and other countries in the region.

【Strategic Value of Hong Kong/Nansha】

Hong Kong is a world-renowned free port and international trade center with a strong financial system and transshipment trade infrastructure. Nansha Port, where LHZ-TIR headquarters is located, is an important hub port in South China. Together, they form a unique advantage of "Nansha consolidation + Hong Kong finance + TIR direct to the Middle East":

- Pearl River Delta cargo can be quickly consolidated at Nansha Port and transferred to TIR for direct delivery to the Middle East
- Hong Kong traders can leverage free port policies to optimize China-Middle East transshipment trade processes
- Return cargo from the Middle East can be shipped via TIR to Nansha Port and then distributed globally by sea

【China-Middle East Trade Background】

The Middle East is a global energy center and infrastructure hotspot, with trade volume between China and Middle Eastern countries continuing to grow. China's main exports to the Middle East include machinery and equipment, electronic products, construction materials, automobiles, and consumer goods. The Middle East's main exports to China include oil, petrochemical products, minerals, and fertilizers. Middle East TIR is approximately 15-20 days faster than sea freight and approximately 70% cheaper than air freight.

【When to Choose TIR?】

- Transit Time: TIR 14-18 days vs Sea freight 30-40 days, TIR is 15-20 days faster
- Destination: TIR delivers directly to inland cities, sea freight only reaches coastal ports
