Lets explore this success story to understand the key steps and challenges in the entire relocation process, as well as how these challenges were overcome.

(1) Project Background

A Wuxi-based electronics company decided to relocate its entire factory production line equipment, involving thousands of high-precision semiconductor devices. Due to the large scale and complexity of the project, the company chose ZhongShen International Trade to handle the entire relocation, import, and customs clearance services.
