Successful First Shanghai Roundtable
Steve Tian, CATTS Regional Director, APAC, is glad to announce that the first China Trade Management roundtable was successfully launched on Friday, November 4, 2022. The event was co-hosted by CATTS, in partnership with MIC, a global leading GTM software provider, and the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Facilitation Center of Enterprises Development Co., Ltd. "SHWFED", a member of China's large state-owned, publicly listed company, Waigaoqiao Corp.
We are happy to see this first edition drew the attention of many industry professionals, having more than 20 people join in person. Especially since in Shanghai people are still dealing with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing disruptions in physical face-to-face meetings and new business challenges.
“A great session and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing you next time”
Sam Qiu, Asia logistics and Customs manager, Veolia Group
A platform for sharing knowledge and ideas
A senior China customs official kicked off the roundtable discussion with a presentation about automotive compliance, focusing on customs regulations, cost-effective operational processes, and procedures. The second keynote speaker, Jun Li from Shanghai Milkyway Chemical Logistics, shared best practices on master data management in the new era of trade compliance digitization.
“The agenda topics and open discussions are very impressive, very informative! I personally enjoyed it very much. Great thanks for the invitation”
Vivien Liang, China Customs Compliance/Foreign Trade Management, Continental Corporation
The presentation topics were broken up into networking sessions, giving the 20+ participants the opportunity to share ideas and continue the discussions. Finally, Steve Tian presented his vision of the benefits and risks of enhancing trade management with managed service capabilities.

Because this first edition was a success, future events will follow. We will continue to plan subject focused, small group discussions aimed at global customs and trade compliance experts in the region.
