Case Study

Major Exporter Scheme

Companies supplying Asian markets often face long transit times, limited flexibility, and upfront Goods and Service Tax (GST) costs. With the Major Exporter Scheme (MES) in Singapore and Leschaco’s local logistics setup, inventory can be positioned closer to the market for faster delivery, stronger flexibility, and improved cash flow.

01

The initial business challenge

The customer’s traditional supply chain was based on direct shipments from Europe to individual customers in Asia. This created long delivery cycles, limited flexibility, and higher costs for smaller direct shipments.

  • Transit times of more than 40 days
  • No regional inventory in Asia
  • Fragmented flows and limited consolidation
 
02

The MES based solution

Leschaco supported a Singapore based regional distribution hub using the Major Exporter Scheme. This allows qualifying companies to import goods into Singapore without paying GST upfront.

  • Regional distribution hub in Singapore
  • GST suspension at import
  • Inventory positioned closer to Asian markets
 
03

The business value

The setup improves cash flow, reduces capital lock up, shortens regional delivery times, and strengthens competitiveness against local suppliers through faster and more flexible service.

  • Improved working capital efficiency
  • Faster delivery within Asia
  • Scalable platform for regional growth
