Our intimate experience and inextricable link to China forms the foundation of our services in this fastest growing market that is too attractive to ignore, but difficult to enter.  
 


IDS is in a unique position to perform for our customers in the Mainland of China as we have accumulated in-depth market knowledge and established strong institutional relationships.

On top of the licences we have secured to perform full logistics services, we are also one of the first wholesaling and distribution companies to get the approval from the State Ministry of Commerce of the PRC under the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA). With this status, we are able to set up a wholly owned enterprise in the Mainland of China to conduct wholesaling and distribution, import and export of consumer products on a nation-wide basis.
