Some 17% mentioned they’d transfer a restricted quantity by air – only one respondent mentioned it could shift to air “to a large extent”.

The survey drew blended responses from the contributors, however most bemoaned conflicting info and an absence of trade unity over the difficulty.

Meanwhile, Yantian International Container Terminal, operated by Hutchison Port Holdings, instructed prospects final week it could be prepared for “full compliance with the new amendments”, and is anticipated to supply a container weighing service for shippers.
