A batch of 165 Geely Boyue Cool SUVs were exported from the Xiangtan Comprehensive Bonded Zone to Russia on November 2. This was the first delivery of Geely's production base in Xiangtan, utilizing bonded logistics services.

The Xiangtan Comprehensive Bonded Zone implements a tax refunds policy for the domestic goods once they enter the zone. It joins hands with the Shaoshan Customs Authority to provide front-load and custom-tailored services for Geely to facilitate its vehicle export, helping Geely cut more than half of the time for tax refunds procedures and increase the efficiency of its capital utilization.
