If the freight rate rises, a surcharge will be charged, and if the freight rate rises again, a surcharge will be charged.
The adjustment of customs clearance fee has also come.
HPL said that it will adjust the customs clearance fee from December 15th, and levy a surcharge for goods exported from China/Hong Kong, China, which are respectively CNY300/carton and HKD300/carton.
Recently, the market has seen a sky-high sea freight of 10,000 US dollars.
Industry insiders pointed out that the global shipping market will continue to be “difficult to find one ship and hard to find one box”, and mainstream shipping companies have booked space until late December.
From the customer notice issued by Maersk, we can know the following information:
1. With the arrival of winter in the northern hemisphere, the delays of shipping schedules will increase;
2. Empty containers will continue to be in short supply;
3. The space will continue to be tight;
As for the freight rate, it will only continue to increase the price~

CIMC (the world’s largest major supplier of containers and related equipment) recently stated in an investor survey:

“Currently, our container orders have been scheduled to around the Spring Festival next year. The demand in the container market has increased significantly recently. The reason is that the export containers are scattered around the world due to the epidemic, and the return is not smooth; the second is that foreign governments have introduced epidemic relief Financial stimulus such as the plan has led to strong performance on the demand side (such as living and office supplies) in the short term, and the housing economy is booming. It is currently judged that the “box shortage” situation will continue for at least some time, but the situation for the whole year of next year is not clear.”

After a long period of congestion in the Port of Felixstowe, the port and the distribution center have already consumed so many containers, all of which are piled up in the residential areas.

Ships of containers were shipped out of China, but very few returned.
