PKFZ chairman says Chinese-linked cargo presence alone isn’t evidence of trade fraud, after US report flagging Malaysia

The Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) chairman, Lim Lip Eng, has dismissed claims that the presence of Chinese-linked businesses or cargo at the facility is evidence of tariff evasion following a US report that flags Malaysia as an economy with elevated risks of illegal transshipment. Lim emphasized that PKFZ operates within a regulated customs and trade compliance framework, and does not facilitate or endorse false declarations, misrepresentation of origin, or circumvention of international trade measures.

He added that all investors seeking to establish operations at PKFZ are subject to screening, due diligence, and regulatory requirements under Malaysian law and free-zone regulations.
