Hanjin to Support Small Business Exports via Incheon Airport GDC and European Fulfillment Center

Hanjin has been selected as the implementing agency for the government’s logistics support program for online export small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The company plans to utilize the Incheon Airport Global Logistics Center (GDC) and its European Fulfillment Center to reduce logistics costs for SMEs engaged in overseas e-commerce exports.

On May 13, Hanjin announced its selection as the implementing agency for the 2026 online export logistics support program, which is overseen by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. This initiative aims to alleviate logistics costs for SMEs currently exporting or preparing to export through global direct-to-consumer platforms, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in overseas markets. The program will run until December of this year.

Hanjin will deploy its Incheon Airport GDC and the European Fulfillment Center, which opened in December last year, for this initiative. Participating companies can receive support covering 70% of related costs from the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency when utilizing Hanjin’s overseas fulfillment hubs. Hanjin believes this will help SMEs reduce fixed costs associated with storage, packaging, and shipping abroad.

For small sellers who find fulfillment services financially burdensome due to low shipment volumes, Hanjin will connect them with its digital logistics platform, One Click Global. This service simplifies the entire export logistics process, from domestic collection to customs clearance and international shipping.

A Hanjin representative stated, "By combining our fulfillment infrastructure with the One Click Global service, we will continue to provide practical support to help small businesses secure real price competitiveness in the global market."

In addition, Hanjin supported small and medium-sized enterprises through a joint logistics program for online exports last year. Regionally, shipments to Japan increased by 82.8% compared to the previous year. Although logistics costs for routes to the United States were high due to customs issues, Hanjin maintained its existing freight rates to lessen the financial burden on participating companies.
