  "account": "Hanjin Transportation Co., Ltd. inaugurated its new Hanjin Toronto Fulfillment Center near Toronto Pearson International Airport on October 26. The 4,200 pyeong facility is designed to aid K-beauty exporters in North America, following the company's recent expansion of its Los Angeles fulfillment center in February. The launch marks a strategic move by Hanjin to create a unified logistics network connecting all of North America.\n\nDuring the center's opening, Hanjin's key executives, President Cho Hyun-min and President and Chief Executive Officer Noh Sam-seok, toured the site, inspected operational conditions, and discussed enhancing logistics synergies between the United States and Canada. The company's system supports K-beauty brand partners from B2B inbound receipt to B2C last-mile delivery, addressing the recent surge in demand for K-beauty in North America.\n\nLocated in the Greater Toronto Area, a hub of the Canadian economy, the center benefits from strong logistics efficiency and proximity to major cities like Mississauga, Brampton, and Markham, which have high K-beauty consumption. By leveraging its location near Pearson International Airport and major rail yards, Hanjin claims to offer competitive transportation services linking land and air transport.\n\nThe new center has obtained essential certifications, including GMP compliance for temperature and humidity control, crucial for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals storage, and PIP certification for streamlined customs inspections between Canada and the United States. Hanjin's logistics infrastructure quality has also been enhanced.\n\nThe company initiated operations in time for the busy year-end shopping season. By transferring management expertise from its Los Angeles fulfillment center, Hanjin has secured early operational stability. Going forward, Hanjin plans to connect the Toronto hub with its Los Angeles center to further strengthen logistics synergies across North America.\n\nThe services offered by the center extend beyond basic delivery. Hanjin aims to provide seamless logistics, including customized packaging and labeling services for various e-commerce platforms, as well as support for local customs clearance, value-added tax, and tax filing. A Hanjin official highlighted the strong consumer support for K-beauty brands in North America and emphasized that the company intends to become the optimal smart logistics partner to help its partners succeed in global expansion.",
